Lenovo ThinkPad X13 G3 AMD Laptop Review: Already very good ThinkPad even better with Ryzen 6000

Subnotebook powered by Ryzen.

The ThinkPad X13 Gen 2 AMD has already delivered a convincing outing with Ryzen 5000. Since last year, the same platform is available with Ryzen 6000. The compact ThinkPad for business customers does not disappoint and is still a good choice, even in the year 2023.

A review of a 2022 ThinkPad in 2023 - sounds like a contradiction, but it can make sense. Today's review device, the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 3 AMD may be "yesterday's tech", but that does not mean its bad. The successor of this compact business laptop, the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 4, is not available in its AMD version yet. Enough of a reason to take one last look at the older variant - maybe it could be worth buying in a coming discounted sale.

Since this is an update of an existing design, we will not waste time on another description of the design, the input devices and the connectivity. Detailed info on these topics can be found in the review of the ThinkPad X13 Gen 2.

Connectivity

Compared with the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 2 AMD port selection is basically unchanged. New is the addition of USB4, which means Thunderbolt compatibility.

Communication

Notably weak are the upload transfer rates of the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 G3 AMD or rather of its Qualcomm WiFi solution. The download rates on the other hand are perfectly good.

The selection of 13.3 inch screens remains unchanged compared to the 2022 model. All available screens have a matte surface, the 16:10 aspect ratio and a refresh rate of 60 Hz: 

  • 1,920 x 1,200 (WUXGA), 300 cd/m², 72 % NTSC
  • 1,920 x 1,200 (WUXGA), 300 cd/m², 72 % NTSC, On-Cell Touch
  • 1,920 x 1,200 (WUXGA), 500 cd/m², 72 % NTSC, PrivacyGuard
  • 2,560 x 1,600 (WQXGA), 400 cd/m², 100 % sRGB, Low Power, Dolby Vision

The measured average brightness of 321 cd/m² is slightly above the advertised 300 cd/m² threshold. Notable: The competition in the form of Dell and HP offers much brighter screens. An average of 830 cd/m² like the HP EliteBook 835 G9 offers is not really needed on the base panel, but it would be nice if Lenovo would grant the X13 brighter screens - without forcing the user to upgrade to the WQXGA or PrivacyGuard panels. 400 cd/m² plus X like the Dell Latitude 7330 offers would be reasonable.

The panel is already pretty well adjusted in terms of colors ex factory. The low average deltaE of just 1.3, measured with CalMan and the X-Rite i1Pro 2 Colorimeter, is testament to that. After a calibration with the X-Rite i1Profiler, the screen becomes slightly more color accurate (1.0 instead of 1.3). The color profile we created for this purpose is available to download for free, as always.

In terms of color gamut coverage, the panel of the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 G3 AMD is nearly completely covering the sRGB color gamut. It is usable for basic photo editing tasks.

Outdoors, the ThinkPad X13 Gen 3 is usable, thanks to the matte screen surface. As before: we would appreciate a brighter screen, especially for a laptop of this mobile device class.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
28.1 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 14.2 ms rise
↘ 13.9 ms fall
The screen shows relatively slow response rates in our tests and may be too slow for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 73 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (20.9 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
44.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 20.7 ms rise
↘ 23.5 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 73 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (32.7 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8619 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Performance: AMD Ryzen 5 delivers good performance

Lenovo sells the ThinkPad X13 Gen 3 AMD with two different AMD CPUs, with the available choices being the AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 6650U and the Ryzen 7 Pro 6850U. Depending on the chosen CPU, either the Radeon 660M or the Radeon 680M serve as the GPU solution. The RAM is always soldered, there are variants with 8, 16 or 32 GB LPDDR5-6400 memory. Not soldered is the M.2 2280 SSD, Lenovo offers a max of 2 TB SSD storage.

Test conditions

As usual for Lenovo ThinkPads, there is no proprietary OEM software to manage the power profiles. Instead, the Windows energy profiles are utilized to manage the power limits (PL1 = performance under sustained load, PL2 = short term boost performance).

  • More battery efficiency: PL1 12 W / PL2 12 W
  • Better performance: PL1 17 W / PL2 25 W
  • Best performance: PL1 22,5 W / PL2 30 W

Processor

The AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 6650U is a U processor of the Rembrandt generation, meant for compact business laptops. As a "Pro" CPU, this chip directly competes with Intel's vPro processors. The typical TDP is rated for 15 W, the CPU has six cores and twelve threads. Comprehensive benchmark comparisons with other CPUs are possible with our CPU comparison tool.

The performance of the ThinkPad X13 Gen 3 AMD is slightly better than the predecessor. The Intel based models ThinkPad X13 G3 Intel and Dell Latitude 7330 offer a better single core performance and partially a better boost performance, but they pale when it comes to sustained multicore testing. Meanwhile, the HP EliteBook 835 G9 offers a huge leap in power, but this model is equipped with the octacore chip AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 6850U, which is also available for the X13 Gen 3 AMD.

CPU performance is not throttled in battery mode.

Graphics card

The AMD Radeon 660M is the standard graphics solution of the Ryzen 5 class. As an integrated GPU, the Radeon 660M does not have its own memory, it has to rely on the main system memory. The logical conclusion: the performance of the GPU depends on the speed of the RAM and if the RAM runs in single or dual channel mode.

In the ThinkPad X13 G3 AMD, the iGPU can rely on fast LPDDR5-6400 memory, which runs in dual channel mode. Those are pretty much ideal conditions, and the ThinkPad X13 Gen 3 is far ahead of the Intel models with i5 and its own predecessor. Again, the HP EliteBook 835 G9 with the stronger Radeon 680M comes out ahead of the ThinkPad.

This business laptop is not made for gaming, recent games are still playable though - on low.

Like the CPU, the GPU delivers 100 percent of its performance in battery mode.
