A sober frame, but robust and light at the same time
As we already mentioned, ThinkPads like this P14s Gen 3 are tested to a dozen military standards for extreme temperatures, humidity, vibration, and pressure. The hood is not made of reinforced concrete either, but we managed to end up with a really light chassis, weighing 1.28 kg, and dimensions that make it easy to transport. This chassis is also very complete in terms of connectivity, with two USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, an HDMI port, an RJ45 port, a 3.5mm jack port, and a smart card reader.
The display is a 14-inch IPS panel in WUXGA resolution (1920 x 1200 pixels), comparable to Full HD, and with a 60 Hz refresh rate. Brightness is advertised at 300 cd/m². Note that another configuration offers a 4K touchscreen and full coverage of the DCI-P3 color palette. But, then you will have to pay much more than 999 euros for this model.
