Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 3 review – small laptops are getting seriously powerful
Source: Laptop Media
As a conclusion from our test, we can say a couple of things. The ThinkPad X13 Gen 3 is a very likable little device. However, its cooling is not good enough to sustain high frequencies for more than 30 seconds. This makes the laptop really appropriate for day-to-day business tasks and one-by-one photo editing. This leads us to the second unfortunate aspect of it – memory. It is soldered to the motherboard, which prevents you from ever being able to upgrade it. On the bright side, you can choose between 8, 16, and 32GB of LPDDR5 RAM upon purchase. On the other hand, you may not even need vodka to stay warm. Its keyboard reaches up to 44°C when you work the hardware hard, so you can put your hands (or feet) on it. Privacy-wise, there are a couple of interesting features. You get an optional IR face recognition scanner and a fingerprint reader. Its battery life is not that good – 10 hours of Web browsing, or 7 hours and 30 minutes of video playback. It might not last you through an entire workday, especially if you put some strain on it. Last but not least, the port selection of this premium 13-incher is good. While it lacks an SD card reader, it features two Thunderbolt 4 connectors, a Smart card reader, and even two full-sized USBs. The target group for this device is not very wide. However, if you are willing to get a device of this size and quality, the ThinkPad X13 Gen 3 will not disappoint you. And if you want to get a more modern look – the Dell XPS 13 Plus 9320 is still an option.

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.
