How to open Lenovo Thinkbook 13x Gen 4 - disassembly and upgrade options

Lenovo Thinkbook 13x Gen 4 review – Close to Perfection
Source: Laptop Media English
The Lenovo Thinkbook 13x Gen 4 is a highly impressive laptop with few shortcomings. This is a mind-blowingly solid light and thin machine. Our device with a Core Ultra 9 185H isn’t going to top any benchmark charts but the CPU performance is still good because the frequencies remain decent even in longer stress. In this scenario, the keyboard doesn’t get excessively hot and the fans aren’t noisy. The comfort under max processor loads is adequate.What about the upgrade options? Well, you can replace the SSD. The port selection impresses with its three Thunderbolt 4s but the lack of Type-A connectors could be a no-go for some people.

90% Lenovo ThinkBook 13x G4 IMH review: ultraportable business laptop with Intel Core Ultra 9
Source: Mezha EN English
The Lenovo ThinkBook 13x G4 IMH is a nice-looking ultraportable laptop with a high-quality, compact, and stylish metal body that offers its potential owner many strong points. It is equipped with productive hardware, a high-quality IPS display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, and can work for a full working day without recharging. Additional useful features include a fingerprint scanner, an infrared camera for owner identification, and a high-quality audio system. There is only one complaint about the technical part: a modest set of connectors. The main problem with the laptop is its price. There are competitors with similar characteristics and OLED screens that are cheaper.

Intel Arc 8-Core: Integrated graphics adapter based on the Xe LPG architecture (similar to the dedicated Arc GPUs, but with a focus on efficiency). Provides all 8 Xe cores (128 Xe vector engines) and 8 ray tracing units.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

13.50":

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.
