Lenovo - M14d (63AAUAR6US)

I do not recommend the asus screens with "go" in them. the inbuilt battery will not be charged by the laptop while in use I use a mix of Lenovo m14d and m15 as i wanted something lightweight

I have 2x of the m14d. Great when I occasionally need to work on the road.

I bought a 14 inch Thinkvision m14d portable monitor around a year ago which was a nice enhancement to my Dell Precision 5570 work laptop back then. I had to travel a lot and was often a bit less productive than in my office due to the lack of screen space. I don't work there anymore and use it now together with a Thinkpad P1 Gen 6 as my home setup. Realized that I love this more than an ultrawide screen. :) So I can completely understand how you feel man, enjoy it!

Yeah, even though the 2.2K screen is already a lot sharper than their FHD models, I also always thought that a higher pixel density would be nice to match the one of my thinkpad. Still happy with it though, its super thin and lightweight and fits perfectly into my backpack. :)

Get one with PPI close to Apple's products (224+ PPI). Don't get weird aspect rations like 3:2 if it is not at least 4k. They work factastically on Windows, not on a Mac. Generally, as the only monitor, you have better options. But if you decide to later on move on to a Macbook, it is really hard to get a consistent viewing experience. Personally, I would consider a bog standard 16:10 or 16:9, 2.8k resolution, 13" OLED monitor, as it is the closest I can find to the actual monitor of a Macbook. It would be fantastic if your eyes can adapt to the OLED sharpness and vivid colors. Me myself uses a Lenovo 2240x1400 monitor, and I recommend not a single bit of it. Mac OS does not work well with non-standard resolutions, and it is ehtier mushy text or too big to display enough information.

Depending on your laptop something to watch out for is some of the screens with batteries can require more power than your USB C port can deliver. I used to use a 14” Lenovo screen with no battery and power pass through, now I use a 13” iPad Pro with duet display to reduce the number of devices I need to carry. They can make difference depending on your workflow, I’m a fan.

I had a M14 until a few weeks ago when I put it in a grocery bag and cracked the screen. If they release an updated one with a 16:10 ratio I might buy again.
