Lenovo ThinkVision M14t

Verdict

The Lenovo ThinkVision M14t is a well-built and slim portable monitor with a standard Lenovo pen that comes with a handy sleeve. It works great as a second monitor and has easily adjustable color to match your laptop. However, it lacks a battery and runs the laptop dead fast, and the touch screen doesn't process pen movement fast enough to take notes or write with it. The USB-C port doesn't hold the plug in very well, and any bump can cause the monitor to shut off. The display quality is good with high color accuracy, and the touchscreen is responsive. It has a matte-black frame that blends well with recent black Lenovo ThinkPads that pack USB Type-C ports supporting video output. The 14-inch IPS panel has 1080p native resolution, and there are only two USB-C inputs, so you need a laptop that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode to use it. While it's a decent portable monitor, well-heeled users may find it worth the investment to add
