Are there any alternatives?

I’ve reviewed several excellent 14-inch laptops in the last few months, most convertible 2-in-1s. The best has been the Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 7, which provides strong performance, a stunning aesthetic, a solid build quality, and a superior display.

　　I haven’t mentioned the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 Carbon in this review because it’s based on the previous generation Ryzen 7 5800U processor. However, it’s a well-built and speedy laptop with a 90Hz OLED display that’s still worth consideration.

　　Finally, you can’t ignore Apple’s MacBook Pro 14, which is the best 14-inch laptop if you’re not married to Windows. It offers the usual MacBook quality, Apple’s super-fast M1 Pro or M1 Max CPU, and class-leading battery life. It’s expensive but worth it.

　　

How long will it last?

The Prestige 14 is durable enough to last for years of typical use, and it’s equipped with all the right components for years of productive service. The standard one-year warranty is disappointing, as usual.

　　

Should you buy it?

Yes, if you need the best productivity performance but don’t need a laptop that will last all day on a single charge.
