Reviews for the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 2-in-1 G5

70% I reviewed the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 2-in-1 Gen 5 and I'm disappointed how far from great it is
Source: Techradar English
The Lenovo ThinkPad X13 2-in-1 Gen 5 is a highly portable and flexible machine that can adapt to whatever working mode you need, whether you need to write, mark up a document, draw, present, or read. For an office professional, that flexibility could make a huge difference. However, this laptop isn't perfect. The screen is nothing special, and the battery life is not the best. So, as long as you don't need an incredibly long battery life or a high-resolution screen, this device is a good one to consider.

60% Lenovo ThinkPad X13 2-in-1 Gen 5 review: A business laptop that takes more than it gives
Source: Laptop Mag English
The Lenovo ThinkPad X13 2-in-1 Gen 5 didn’t graduate from business school. Sure, it’s got the pretty screen, bouncy keyboard, and silky touchpad, but that won’t get you far when each one of those is weighed down by something else. And middling performance is one thing, but poor battery life? This thing is DOA.

This Lenovo 2-in-1 is the ultraportable work laptop I've been waiting for
Source: Zdnet.com English
All in all, the ThinkPad X13 2-in-1 Gen 5 is a secure enterprise laptop with solid performance. If you're looking for an ultraportable 2-in-1, you like using a stylus and prefer reliable performance over all else, this is the laptop for you. It's not particularly cheap, but you're paying for a device with endurance. Unfortunately, the soldered RAM removes the option for future upgrades, but for users with a well-defined professional use case, this is a reliable device that will put in the work. If you're looking for a similar 13-inch device without the 2-in-1 form factor and don't need all the ports, the Lenovo ThinkBook 13x Gen 4 has a slightly more sleek chrome form factor, and starts at $1,580.

Lenovo ThinkPad X13 2-in-1 Gen 5 review – A Well-Rounded Light Business Transformer
Source: Laptop Media English
The Lenovo ThinkPad X13 2-in-1 Gen 5 is almost a perfect laptop for business users who are seeking portability, power, and efficiency. The magnesium build is light and it feels premium to the touch with its rubberized-like finish. The performance is always there because the CPU can maintain high clocks in short and medium loads (which should be the main playground for such a laptop) and the frequencies remain decent even in longer stress. The fan should be a quality one because, despite its fast rotating speed, the noise is low even when the processor is pushed to its limits. In this scenario, the keyboard feels warm to the touch, but not hot. Yep, the comfort under max loads is very good.

Intel Graphics 4-Core: Integrated graphics card based on the Xe LPG architecture (similar to the dedicated Arc GPUs, but with a focus on efficiency). Provides 4 Xe cores (64 Xe vector engines) and 4 ray tracing units.

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

13.30":

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.

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.


65%: Such a poor rating is rare. There are only a few notebooks that were rated even worse. The rating websites do not give a purchase recommendation here.
