If you're looking for a 13-inch laptop that is powerful and versatile, take a serious look at the Lenovo ThinkBook 13x Gen 4. For the sale price of $1,580, the powerful processor options, strong battery life, and the Magic Bay make it a solid 13-inch pick, especially for remote and hybrid workers. If you want a 13-inch laptop with similar specs but is a little easier on the budget, MSI's Prestige 13 AI Evo is a solid alternative that starts at $899. If you like ThinkBooks but are looking for a larger screen, check out the Lenovo ThinkBook 14 2-in-1.

The Lenovo ThinkBook 13x G4 is a well-balanced business laptop with a few key strengths that make it great for work and entertainment alike. It features fantastic speakers, a surprisingly good webcam, a sharp display, and a snappy keyboard. While its CPU benchmark scores could be better, the ThinkBook is capable of casual gaming and kept up well with everyday tasks during my testing. Considering its price, I would have preferred for the ThinkPad 13x G4 to include the more powerful Intel Core Ultra 7 155H CPU rather than the Core Ultra 5 125H. The display also could have performed better in our display tests. However, those drawbacks are only relevant for certain types of professionals, such as graphic designers or those in need of a highly powerful processor.

The ThinkBook 13x Gen 4 lives up to its brand's small-business value proposition, undercutting the similarly screened HP Dragonfly G4 and delivering better performance and double the battery life of the ThinkPad X1 Nano. But that doesn't make it a bargain, with Asus and others selling ultraportables with superior OLED screens for hundreds less. Also, its lack of HDMI and USB-A ports is a pity. The 13x is a slick, capable laptop with Lenovo's excellent build quality, but it could use a price cut.

The ThinkBook 13x Gen 4 ticks some of the important boxes. It’s very well-built, attractive, and has a great keyboard with an optional haptic touchpad. It’s highly portable, and its Magic Bay setup is unique. But it’s not terribly fast, it doesn’t have great battery life, and its display is good but not great. If it were less expensive, then it would be easier to recommend. But if you’re spending more than $1,500 for a laptop, you shouldn’t have to accept so many compromises.

The ThinkBook 13x is an excellent ultraportable business laptop: It’s a great price and offers high performance along with good keyboard, display, and excellent all-day battery life. The webcam, microphone, and speakers are great for business meetings. While a machine like the ThinkPad X1 Carbon offers more premium touches with an OLED display and snappier keyboard, I’d say the ThinkBook 13x offers a better overall package with its all-day battery life and better performance benchmarks in a variety of scenarios — not to mention the much lower price. There are still some catches: If you want more connectivity than three USB-C ports and an audio jack, you’ll need to look elsewhere.

The Lenovo ThinkBook 13x Gen 4 is a sleek and powerful 2.2-pound laptop that packs Intel Core Ultra 9 power and a vibrant 13.5-inch display with a 97% screen-to-body ratio. But what makes this system stand out at CES 2024 is its support for Magic Bay accessories that attach magnetically via pogo pins. This includes a Magic Bay Studio 4K camera with dual speakers. And Lenovo lets us go hands on with a bunch of other prototypes, including a Magic Bay SSD, a mini fan, LED light bar, and even a second 10.1-inch display.

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.
» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.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.
70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
