Business laptops come in all sizes, styles, and varieties. Suppose you’re looking for a lightweight, portable workstation that you can carry everywhere. In that case, the Lenovo ThinkPad C14 Yoga (Enterprise-level) is an excellent choice. It offers a combination of advanced connectivity, multilayered security, performance, and “cloud-first” technology.
Since this is highly affordable for a workstation, you must make a few sacrifices. There is no touchscreen or convertible design. However, the 14-inch FHD display is still high-quality with LED backlight, IPS, and anti-glare technology. There are narrow bezels and 250-nits (60-Hz). The resolution of the FHD display is 1920 x 1080.
Like its predecessor, the C13 Yoga, this Enterprise C14 workstation features a dark blue chassis, giving it a different look from all of the traditional black ThinkPads. Additional design elements include a TrackPoint, webcam privacy shutter, Kensington Security Slot, several USB ports, HDMI 2.0, and a MicroSD card reader.
You can order this Yoga Enterprise with an (optional) SIM card. In addition, some Lenovo ThinkPad C14 Yoga models have optional 4G / LTE (CAT9) technology. Even if you don’t opt for it, you’ll still get Intel Wi-Fi 6E (2×2) AX11 802.11 AX wireless and Bluetooth 5.1.
The audio quality is certified by Waves MaxxAudio, and there are two user-facing speakers. Overall, the construction consists of durable and reliable materials. In addition, the workstation has been tested against 12 stringent standards, as used by the US Dept of Defense’s MIL-STD 810H standards. Also, it’s undergone over 200 quality checks.
