Footprints to the same scale, lid closed: ThinkPad E14 Gen 8 (Intel) 12.32 × 8.67 in; MacBook Pro 14 12.31 × 8.71 in; Lenovo Chromebook m 14 12.57 × 8.79 in, over a US Letter sheet (11 × 8.5 in).

Short answer

A 14-inch laptop has a screen 14 inches across the diagonal: about 11.9 × 7.4 in at the common 16:10 shape. The whole machine is larger. The current 14-inch laptops we list are 12.19–12.57 in wide, 8.26–8.98 in deep and 0.3–0.8 in thick, and start at 2.15–3.4 lb. That is close to a sheet of US Letter paper (11 × 8.5 in) plus an inch or so of width, which is why a 14-inch laptop fits most backpacks and airline tray tables.

Key takeaways

  • Plan for 12.6 in of width and 9 in of depth: that covers every 14-inch laptop we list.
  • Weight runs 2.15–3.4 lb; three models start under 2.2 lb.
  • None of the 14-inch laptops we list has a numeric keypad.
  • Thickness varies most: 0.3–0.8 in.

Fourteen inches is the size most people can carry all day and still work on. The class is tightly packed: across every 14-inch laptop in our catalogue the width varies by less than half an inch. Depth, thickness and weight vary much more.

The screen: about 11.9 × 7.4 inches

A 14.0-inch screen at 16:10 measures 11.9 in wide and 7.4 in high, an area of 88 sq in. Apple’s 14-inch MacBook Pro is the exception in our list at 14.2 in.

  • Width barely changes: 12.19–12.57 in.
  • Depth is where designs differ: 8.26–8.98 in. The 2-in-1 with its 360° hinge is the deepest.
  • Thickness runs 0.3–0.8 in. Models with an Ethernet port are thicker at the rear, where the port sits.
  • Weight starts at 2.15–3.4 lb.

What you get, and give up, at 14 inches

None of the 14-inch laptops we list has a numeric keypad; for that you need a 15- or 16-inch chassis. You don’t have to give up ports or repairability, though: several 14-inch business models keep an Ethernet port and replaceable memory.

Bags and sleeves

Bag makers label compartments by screen class, not by inner dimensions. To be sure, compare the compartment’s inner width and depth with the laptop’s: 12.6 × 9.0 in covers every 14-inch model above. If you’re deciding between sizes, see 14 vs 16-inch laptops.

Frequently asked questions

How big is a 14-inch laptop?

The screen is 14 in diagonally (11.9 × 7.4 in at 16:10). The laptops themselves are 12.19–12.57 in wide and 8.26–8.98 in deep among the current models we list.

What are the dimensions of a 14-inch laptop in cm?

The 14-inch laptops we list are about 31.0 to 31.9 cm wide and 21.0 to 22.8 cm deep. The 16:10 screen itself is 30.2 × 18.8 cm.

How much does a 14-inch laptop weigh?

2.15–3.4 lb at the starting configuration, among the models we list. The lightest are the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 14 and Yoga Slim 7 Ultra at 2.15 lb.

Will a 14-inch laptop fit in a 13-inch sleeve?

Usually not. A sleeve sold for 13-inch laptops is cut for bodies around 12 in wide, and the 14-inch laptops we list are 12.19–12.57 in wide. Compare the sleeve’s inner dimensions with the model’s.

Is 14 inches big enough for work?

For one window at a time, yes: a 14-inch 16:10 screen is 88 sq in. A 16-inch screen is 115 sq in, about 31% more, which is the difference you notice with two windows side by side.
