Archive.org versionThere is no lie, the ThinkPad L13 Yoga is not for everybody. If you are solely interested in the artistic properties of the device, there are cheaper and perhaps, more suitable laptops. And if business-related work is on your hand, you can surely find more cost-efficient solutions, like the ThinkPad E15, or the HP ProBook 430 G7.

Archive.org versionAs I mentioned right from the beginning, it's missing a bunch of the perks that you'll find on something premium like the ThinkPad X1 Yoga. There's no Thunderbolt 3, there's no IR camera, it has bigger bezels, and it's heavier. That's most of what you're missing though.

Archive.org versionThe ThinkPad L13 Yoga didn't set our benchmark charts on fire, but that shouldn't detract from its status as a desirable convertible laptop. Its size and weight are eminently portable, and it comes with the stylus that many 2-in-1 models omit or charge extra for. Both its keyboard and screen are above average, and its build quality is sturdy and elegant.

Archive.org versionI’d recommend it to anyone looking for the bare minimum, in a good way. The L13 isn’t a designer laptop, but it has everything a user would need to get their work done such as a decently vibrant touch screen, pen for notetaking, ok battery life, latest chipsets for a boost in processing output for more demanding Office 365 tasks, and a plethora of I/O for connectivity. There is very little to be negative to be discussed about this laptop. I think any business looking to outfit its IT staff or single pro would benefit in handing them an L13. It’s lightish, portable, and gets the job done for under $1,000.

Archive.org versionThe ThinkPad L13 Yoga is decently priced high performing mid-ranger. There aren't any marketing gimmicks built into the sales price or pitch for this device unlike others on the market that highlight things like 4K OLED panels, ultra-lightweight build materials, dedicated GPUs or more. What the L13 represents is the processor refinements of Intel in its 11the gen chips. Intel's 11 gen chips are raising the bar of performance for all devices they power and the L13 is no different. Lenovo played it safe with this year's design and delivered a reliable device that, if bought in bulk with business discounts, may actually save companies a few thousand on the yearly hardware budget while providing employees a flexible upgrade.

We can conclude that the Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Gen 4 (Intel) is a business-oriented device that is meant for people who value comfort over performance. Here, the CPU fan is quiet even when the CPU is under maximum stress. In this scenario, the processor temperature is low as well as the frequencies. Still, in short and medium loads, the clocks are high enough for normal office work. The rigidity of the chassis isn’t great. You can’t open the lid with a single hand and there is a visible amount of flex on the base even during typing. Speaking of which, the keyboard and the touchpad are comfortable. Expectedly (because of the compact form factor), the only thing that you can upgrade is the NVMe. The memory is soldered but the maximum possible amount of 32GB of LPDDR5 RAM should be enough for most users.

The Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Gen 5 is a capable office machine that offers good comfort even during maximum CPU loads. This reminds us that the processor maintains a pretty high P and E core clock of 3.52 GHz / 3.18 GHz in medium loads but that comes at the expense of a 100°C chip temperature! When the Core Ultra 5 125U is stressed for a long time, the clock reaches 2.32 GHz / 2.06 GHz which is also an adequate result for a small machine. The 1200p 60Hz display (N133JCA-EEK (LEN41A0)) has 330 nits of max brightness. The screen becomes decently color-accurate when our “Design and Office” profile is applied. The unit is also PWM-free and has wide viewing angles.
