14 inches vs 15 / 15.6 inches?

I want to get a laptop soon, which should be as light as possible.

Since I'm often on the road, he should be very light (1.4 kg and less). Although there are 15-inch laptops which are as light as the Acer Swift 5 with 15.6 inches, but I'm not even sure if I need something "big" at all.

My question to experienced 14 inch users: Is it possible to work comfortably on a 14 incher? So also in everyday life, for example On the train etc.

I have a 12.5 "Thinkpad from Lenovo as a working device. I was especially concerned about battery life and performance (6h battery life and an i7 with 8GB RAM) I would not want to take a smaller one as smaller keyboard sizes would suffer On the other hand, I would not want to have a larger notebook because in my thinkpad is exactly the performance I need and I do not see a laptop carry around more than absolutely necessary.

At home, the notebook lands in its docking station, which has a large monitor, mouse and keyboard. To work on the way I think the integrated display is big enough but everything under 2 monitors is in my opinion to productive work only a stopgap.

Very useful Kommenar! Thank you. Yes, so far I have a very good desktop with two screens. It would take him for business trips, working here and there in the office.

I found the 12.5 "class to be ideal for me, even in the meeting you can park on the conference table without disturbing it.

He takes nowhere really away and can be used even in a relatively comfortable position (one hand to hold on and operate with the other hand). As I've said, even smaller notebooks / netbooks are compromised in performance and keyboard, and larger notebooks are slim and lightweight, but they still have big disks to put somewhere.
