Introduction

Premium-looking laptops do exist outside the main bunch of established brands. A very fresh example is the Geekom X14 Pro, which might seem like a device that costs an arm and a leg, but it's priced for the masses.

The X14 Pro is thin and light, and on top of that, it has a 14-inch OLED screen. The 120 Hz panel sports high max brightness, vivid colors, and an outstanding contrast ratio.



When it comes to power, you can pick between the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H and the Core Ultra 9 185H. The latter offers two extra P-cores, a higher power limit, a larger cache size, and a punchier iGPU. The base CPU is plenty for everyday tasks. Both chips have NPUs that aren't as impressive as the latest Panther Lake chips, but that extra AI boost is still a welcome bonus at this price.

In most cases, a small and slim laptop translates into limited upgradability. Here, you have one M.2 slot for the most common 2280 Gen 4 SSDs. Everything else is soldered. On the bright side, 32 GB of LPDDR5X RAM seems enough for the Average Joe, even for the next few years.

Feature-wise, all looks up-to-date. For extra security, you can rely on a webcam with a privacy shutter, fingerprint reader, and optional fTPM 2.0 support. The 72 Wh battery is actually quite impressive, given how thin the chassis is. Backlit keyboard? Check. Smooth, centered touchpad? Check.

Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6E plus two fast 40 Gbps ports and one Type-A. Geekom also provides a useful docking station that expands the I/O capabilities.
