The top 14-inch laptops you can now buy in the UAE in 2021

For a long time, most laptops fit into one of three categories. There were 13-inch laptops for portability, and 17-inch laptops for those who required large displays, and 15-inch laptops for the rest of us! Occasionally, however, some manufacturers will defy the trend with a 14-inch laptop, which combines the portability of an ultra-slim machine with enough screen space to be productive.

Whether you’re looking for a laptop for gaming, a creative workstation for content creation, or just a regular laptop this back-to-school season, because one of the first things you’ll think about is price and the best features available.

The best 14-inch laptops should have serious internals and hardware, ranging from high-end processors to cutting-edge graphics cards, while maintaining a minimalist, thin, and light design that adds value to your purchase.
