Reviewers call the Gen 14 one of the best business ultraportables. The redesigned Space Frame chassis weighs about 2.15 pounds, the keyboard is praised, and the OLED option is a highlight, with repairability that earned a 9/10 iFixit score. The main complaints are the price, soldered RAM and modest integrated graphics.
