88.3% Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 2 laptop review: Business convertible now with Tiger Lake | Notebookcheck
Lenovo has equipped its entry-level business convertible with an up-to-date Tiger Lake processor and a modern Thunderbolt 4 port. However, the compact ThinkPad still has to do without a 16:10 screen in this generation. Is the update worth it anyway?

Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 2 review – do you really need two cameras?
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
We have to put that straight – this device is not the best out there for its money. Its performance could have been better, the battery life is okay, but nothing more than that, and its memory is soldered to the motherboard. However, one of its biggest perks is the display. Undoubtedly, a convertible laptop should boast a great panel. It’s more often than not that we are disappointed exactly by this aspect of a 2-in-1 device.

88.3% Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga G2 AMD Laptop in review: Ryzen Pro unleashed inside a ThinkPad convertible | Notebookcheck
The business convertible is a capable device in both regards. As per usual with the ThinkPad series, the case and input devices are satisfactory even for more demanding users. Additionally, the L13 Yoga is very capable in many ways in tablet mode - and not only because of the included digital pen. So, is it the perfect allround convertible?
