The Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 1 comes with a classic model from the Think seri with a profesional model that has become its trademark, but has now been given a kekinian touch that makes it look profesional.

The bodi is completely black with a few red accents that match each other. The bodi is wrapped in a matte layer that feels smooth in the hand so that it not only provides better comfort but also gives the initial impression that this netbook is of high quality.

Overall, the bodi has dimensions that are quite slim with sharp edges that further enhance the kekinian model it presents. It’s just that, even though the doff layer is comfortable, it has a few drawbacks because it’s easy to look dirty, especially when exposed to sweat. Fortunately, these stains can be easily removed.

On the cover, there are not many knick-knacks other than the ThinkPad simbol in the lower right corner.

When the netbook cover is opened, you can see the keyboard which is one of the mainstays of Lenovo notebooks and a touchpad with a slightly different model from most today’s notebooks. The touchpad has a fairly wide touch surface with three buttons on the hebat for left, center, and right clicks.

The Function section when pressed together with the Fn key can be used as shortcuts ranging from volume, screen brightness, notifications, to answering or closing calls.

One thing to notes, the Fn key is on the left side of Ctrl or in the far corner. This placement will of course require adjustments as the Fn key is usually between Ctrl and Windows. I myself often press wrong especially when copying and pasting because usually Ctrl is on the far left.

Meanwhile, the touchpad feels comfortable when used thanks to the large ruangan and smooth surface. The touch of a finger can be detected properly so that the kursor feels responsif.
