Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga review – ThinkPad security with Yoga versatility and a Pen hiding in the chassis
Source: Laptop Media English
There 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.

85% Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga review: Just right for a budget ThinkPad
Source: Neowin English
As 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.

Lisa Gade review the Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga, the most affordable member of the ThinkPad family of Yoga 2-in-1 Ultrabooks with 360 degree hinges and a ThinkPad Pen Pro in a silo located on the laptop’s side. This is the Intel 10th gen refresh with Comet Lake quad core CPUs (vPro available), a full HD IPS touch display with Wacom AES digitizer, and a fast M.2 NVMe SSD. The laptop has USB-C, a ThinkShutter privacy webcam shutter, fingerprint scanner, optional Windows Hello IR camera and ample ports. Pricing starts at $677.

The 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.

Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga L13: An IT Pro’s alternative in a pinch
Source: On MSFT English
I’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.

Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga a 4-min review: Mostly the same, in the best way
Source: On MSFT English
The 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.

Comment

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.


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

Intel UHD Graphics 620: Integrated GPU (GT2, 24 EUs) found on some Kaby-Lake-Refresh CPU models (15 W ULV series). Technically identical to the previous Kaby-Lake GPU called HD Graphics 620.

AMD Vega 7: Integrated graphics adapter of the Ryzen APUs based on the Vega architecture with 7 CUs (= 448 shaders) and a clock speed of up to 1,600 MHz.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Intel Comet Lake:

i5-10210U: Comet Lake based low power quad-core processor (technically identical to Whiskey Lake and still produced in 14nm++). The CPU cores can clock between 1.6 and 4.2 GHz (all 4 cores 3.9 GHz max.) with HyperThreading (8 threads). The integrated memory controller supports LPDDR4-2933 and using cTDP up/down the performance can be adjusted by the OEM (10 - 25 Watt possible, 15W default). Compared to the faster i5-10510U, the level 3 cache was reduced from 8 to 6 MB.

i5-10310U: Comet Lake based low power quad-core processor (technically identical to Whiskey Lake and still produced in 14nm++). The CPU cores can clock between 1.7 and 4.4 GHz with HyperThreading (8 threads). The integrated memory controller supports DDR4-2666 and using cTDP up/down the performance can be adjusted by the OEM (10 - 25 Watt possible, 15W default). Compared to the faster i5-10510U, the level 3 cache was reduced from 8 to 6 MB. The CPU supports the professional management features under the vPro umbrella.

i7-10510U: Comet Lake based low power quad-core processor (technically identical to Whiskey Lake and still produced on 14nm++). The CPU cores can clock between 1.8 and 4.9 GHz (all 4 cores 4.3 GHz max.) with HyperThreading (8 threads). The integrated memory controller supports DDR4-2666 and using cTDP up/down the performance can be adjusted by the OEM (10 - 25 Watt possible, 15W default).

AMD Cezanne (Zen 3, Ryzen 5000):

R5 PRO 5675U: Mobile six core APU using Zen 3 cores clocked at 2.3 to 4.3 GHz and a Vega graphics card with 7 CUs clocked at up to 1800 MHz. The PRO CPUs offer additional management and security features.
