You must hold it to truly appreciate the incredible engineering and craftsmanship that went into making it the lightest and highest-performing 14-inch laptop in our history."

Ultraportable and Extra Durable
Building upon the success of the company's gravity-defying Portégé X30L that debuted in 2020, the all-new Portégé X40L is the thinnest and lightest 14-inch laptop Dynabook has ever created.
