87.5% Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Gen2 AMD laptop in review - Fast, enduring Ryzen ultrabook | Notebookcheck
Lenovo's ThinkPad L-series is often even the choice over the T- or X-series for price- and quality-conscious customers. Rightly so, and accordingly the ThinkPad L13 Gen 2 AMD is also a slim but still very robust 13-inch ultrabook with an AMD processor, which not only has a very positive impact on the performance, but also on the battery life, temperatures and noise!
