Lenovo ThinkBook 14 and 16 (Gen 4+) Features
In the screen sector, the ThinkBook 14 comes with a 14-inch 16:10 display panel. The available resolution options are up to 2.8K resolution with a brightness level of 400 nits.
Meanwhile, for the ThinkBook 16 the screen panel is 16 inches. The aspect ratio is also 16:10. Resolution options are available up to 2.5K 350 nits with additional hardware calibration features. Suitable for users who prioritize color accuracy.
