Don't get me wrong, a long time ago I love the larger laptops and would only buy them but I realized it wasn't fun lugging them around and they kind of sucked at being a laptop or what I thought a laptop should be. Then I started using 14" where it's much nicer to carry and get way better battery life, even with better screens and stuck with them since I think they're perfect for a laptop!
My main laptop is a Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 11 ( i7-1365U vPro with 32G ram) but I did buy a Thinkpad T14 (Ryzen 7 PRO 7840U with 32G ram) a month ago from a buddy as he wanted something better for gaming. Both I have a 4TB nvme in them, the T14 is split equally between Win11 and Linux but for the X1, windows has a 256G partition and the rest is linux. While the ryzen does have a more powerful cpu, the x1 has a better screen and battery life. I do much prefer the x1 over the t14 though before the i7 is powerful enough for on the go.
Note: I bought the T14 only because I wanted to compare the two and my mom needs a new machine. Since my mom wouldn't be getting it right away, I might as well compare the two and see which one I like less to give her
She and my dad exposed me to computers as a kid so the least I can do is supply them at their old age and be their tech support. Either of them is way better than her 10+ year old machine. Though I'm going to end up keeping the X1 for myself.
P.S. Yes, I'm addicted to the trackpoint/nub on thinkpads, it's why I like them though their quality has totally gone down over the years (still better than your average brand)

Yah, if you already have something more powerful on remote access standing by, a 14 inch laptop is a no-brainer.

This probably has to do a bit with us getting used to smaller powerful devices. I mean there was a time businessmen used to carry around their chonky Thinpads and IBMs just to do some basic (by today's standards) excel sheets. And, today, you can do that and more on a phone that's 10-20 times lighter.
that little red dot? in any case, i fullheartedly agree, although my main machine is desktop. and laptop seems too small to me, and on 14" keytboard is very tiny and unknown to me... but in general i started buying desktop keyboards with little flat buttons like a laptop is, after using my laptop for a while. i just like the full keyboard with F1-F12 as to be separated in groups, cause i need those spaces to feel/find the right buttons.. i still use Alt+F4 or CTRL+F4 and of course F5 (dam it reloaded the page with real F5.. ) and i use F8 in linux/MC a lot.. so for me it just makes sense to use desktop and i like it//
