A practical 14-inch laptop with familiar hardware

The Lecoo 14 uses Intel’s Core i5-13420H processor which belongs to the Raptor Lake-H family and features eight cores (via Notebookcheck). The processor is paired with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. Its integrated Xe graphics support hardware-accelerated H.264, HEVC, and VP9 media processing.

If you are someone who is looking for premium display, sadly this won’t serve your purpose. Lenovo has packed a 14-inch IPS panel with 1920×1200 resolution in this affordable laptop. It runs at 60Hz and reaches 300 nits of brightness. The panel does offer 100% sRGB coverage and DC dimming.
