Lenovo ThinkPad X13 AMD, Ryzen 5 Pro 4650U

The Lenovo ThinkPad X13 is the latest to join the Lenovo ThinkPad family. As far as the design is concerned, there is nothing new with the X13. Instead of taking advantage of a first-gen laptop to modernize the signature ThinkPad design, Lenovo has taken the easy way out by reusing the ThinkPad X390 mould. Overall, the ThinkPad X13 looks almost identical to its spiritual predecessor, except that the lid is reinforced with carbon fibre, while the deck is made of magnesium alloy. It feels sturdy and has all of the traditional ThinkPad accoutrement, including a rubber pointing stick, discrete touchpad clickers with red accents, and an illuminated "i" on the ThinkPad lid branding. In addition, there is a fingerprint sensor, a 180-degree folding hinge, and a webcam cover, which makes for a rather practical design. The chunky bezels above and below the display produce a laptop with a larger footprint than its competitors and make the ThinkPad X13 appear rather outdated.

It is definitely worth noting that, no matter the materials Lenovo uses, if it is a ThinkPad, it has military-grade durability. As for this case, the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 has passed 12 MIL-STD-810G tests for various extreme conditions, including high altitudes, freezing temperatures and dust storms. Apart from that, the ThinkPad comes with a fingerprint sensor and an optional IR camera for secure and quick login using Windows Hello. In addition, the device has been equipped with a webcam cover (ThinkShutter), which has been a standard feature on business notebooks.

In terms of connectivity, the ThinkPad X13 has a USB-3.2 Type-A input and a Kensington lock slot on the right side. On the other side, there are two USB-C inputs, an Ethernet extension port, a second USB-3.2 Type-A connector, an HDMI port, and a headphone/mic jack. It should be noted that Thunderbolt 3 is an Intel technology which would not be featured on this AMD-powered laptop. As far as the display is concerned, the X13 comes with a good 13.3-inch 1080p display with an anti-reflective finish. This model also has a really great keyboard. Every key pouch was countered with a tactile bump. There is a touchpad located just beneath the keyboard for user convenience. While those with smaller hands can easily get away with the touchpad, those with large hands might encounter some difficulty in handling it. As for the performance, the X13 comes with a Ryzen 5 Pro 4650U paired with 8 GB of RAM. The ‘Pro’ simply means that the chip has been designed specifically for business laptops. As for the GPU, the ThinkPad X13 has been equipped with Radeon graphics. In terms of its battery life, this device has a runtime of 7 hours and 53 minutes, falling short of the 10-hour premium laptop battery-life average. Overall, this is a great device to be explored for small businesses, depending on their needs and preferences.

80% Lenovo ThinkPad X13 (AMD) review
Source: Tom's Guide English
I would have liked a laptop like the ThinkPad X13 to carry me through college and my first few years on the job force. It's rugged, packs extra keys in the keyboard, and has enough ports to have adapters coming in and out of it. I appreciate the flexibility of the touchscreen and multiple mouse offerings, even if the combination trackpad and TrackPoint took me a while to get used to. I also like that the X13 doesn't take up a ton of room; this is the kind of laptop to get if you want it docked in a tight space. And you will want it docked because although the 13.3-inch touchscreen is viable, you must have a monitor to make full use of the X13's capabilities.

Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 1 Review: All-Around Business Notebook
Source: Unbox English
While it is slightly more expensive than the equally good ThinkPad T14 Gen 1, our review of the ThinkPad X13 Gen 1 shows that it comes with practically a better set of internals across the board–from the display to the SSD used. The configuration may be dead similar to the one used on the ThinkPad T14 Gen 1, but it looks like Lenovo used a better set of components to the ThinkPad X13 Gen 1.

85% Lenovo ThinkPad X13 (AMD Ryzen) review: Fast performance on last year's design
Source: Neowin English
My biggest complaint about the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 1 is that the design feels a bit dated for a PC that I do consider premium, even if this configuration comes in at under a thousand dollars. I have no doubt that we'll see slimmer bezels on next year's model, which will be called Gen 2 under the new naming model, as Lenovo does tend to redesign all of these things at once. Honestly, the whole array of ThinkPads from this generation is mostly a spec bump, but that that's a bad thing.

The ThinkPad X13 strips away all of the X1 Carbon's seductive qualities and leaves the practical bits. If the subpar battery life is a deal-breaker, we recommend splurging on the Asus ExpertBook B9450 or Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (8th Gen). Otherwise, the X13 is a great option for small businesses that need fast performance in a portable package without breaking the budget.

ThinkPad X13 Gen 1 (AMD) Review: Ryzen to the rescue for business
Source: On MSFT English
If you’re considering the X13, you should pick it up now. If you’re looking for an AMD laptop for a business that can overpower an Intel one, then this is the one for you. The build and design might be the same, but the AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 4650U inside the laptop makes a huge difference and come closer in performance to a Core i7 10th Gen Intel CPU. The integrated graphics, meanwhile, are great for light gaming, and in combination, make the X13 a great multitasking machine.

Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Review: A Fantastic Ryzen-Powered Laptop
Source: Hot Hardware English
We really dig the Lenovo ThinkPad X13. Very often a notebook can do so much right, but there's a fatal flaw somewhere. Sometimes the cooling isn't up to snuff, or the design language is a little awkward. The ThinkPad X13 does away with all of that, and all we're really left with to complain about is a minor issue with ventilation placement while gaming. Snappy performance, aggressive pricing, excellent battery life, great portability, and solid expansions options add up to a laptop we could see using for years to come. Everyone who needs a great ultraportable should add the ThinkPad X13 to their short list. It is an excellent machine.

Lenovo ThinkPad X13 review – premium materials but a very familiar execution
Source: Laptop Media English
So, what is wrong with this device? Well, frankly – anything. The execution is great, the materials of use are extremely premium and the performance is …there. Okay, there is still the issue with the soldered memory, which drives us crazy. This is a productivity machine. And it is not cheap. This means you have to deal with it for at least a couple of years. And to do so, it would be extremely helpful if you were able to upgrade it. Instead, Lenovo is providing you with a handful of options, which you can only choose when buying the device. Indeed, you can pick the 32GB option right off the bat and it will do you well for quite a while. Additionally, the 16GB variant is not a bad choice either. However, in our opinion, you should stay away from the 8GB unit – you know better than anyone that most productivity apps are feasting on your machine’s precious RAM.

As the newest small ThinkPad laptop, the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 1 is the continuation of the traditional ThinkPad X series. In 2020, the AMD version bears the same name as the Intel model - and it is much faster. Buyers still have to live without Thunderbolt, but the performance advantage is so big that we do not consider it a deal-breaker.

The ThinkPad X13 Gen 2 is what every business should expect from a ThinkPad. What it lacks in cutting-edge features like 4K resolution or an impossibly thin and light chassis, it makes up for in typing comfort, competent performance, and long battery life. This isn't a business laptop to impress C-suite executives, but it's a great laptop to run the rest of the business on. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon is a better choice for businesses with deeper pockets, while it's hard to beat the performance of the Apple M1 processor in the MacBook Pro. For every other organization whose IT department is looking for a compact workhorse, the X13 Gen 2 is a fine choice.

70% ThinkPad X13 Gen 2 review: Is it a cheaper dupe of the X1 Carbon?
Source: Laptop Mag English
The Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 2 has an edge over its competitors; it serves up impressive overall performance and its video-transcoding speed gave its rivals whiplash. However, I hesitate to recommend it because, as of this writing, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon with the same specs (Intel Core i5-1135G7 CPU, 256GB SSD and 8GB of RAM) is priced at $1,392 at Lenovo. This is only $200 more than our X13 Gen 2 review unit. You’d be better off shelling out a little more for the ThinkPad X1 Carbon, which garnered a five-star rating and an Editor’s Choice badge. Plus, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon comes with a fingerprint reader, great quad speakers, slim bezels, a consistently working touchpad and nearly 16 hours of battery life — the ThinkPad X13 Gen 2 could never.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X13s is one of the best Windows on ARM laptops that you can buy. It sports killer battery life and really great day-to-day performance for a device of its class. That's mainly thanks to 32-bit and 64-bit app-emulation in Windows 11 and the power of the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3. Only the fact that emulated apps can't leverage the GPU holds this back from being the perfect laptop.

70% Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 3 (Intel) Review
Source: PC Mag English
The ThinkPad X13 Gen 3 upholds the legendary ThinkPad X-series standards in all ways but one: battery life. It lacks all-day unplugged stamina and isn’t competitive in its class, at least with its standard 41WHr battery. However, even had it lasted longer off the plug, Lenovo’s own ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 would still be a rosier choice. It has superior features and battery life and can be nearly the same price dependent upon Lenovo’s ever-changing sales. That said, the X13 Gen 3 should be more competitive with its optional 54WHr battery. If you can find it with that for less than the X1 Carbon, and especially if you want an AMD processor (which the X1 Carbon doesn’t offer), the X13 Gen 3 becomes a much more attractive buy.

Comment

Lenovo: Lenovo ( "Le" as in the English word legend and "novo" (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. From 2004, the company has been the largest laptop manufacturer in China and got the fourth largest manufacturer worldwide after the acquisition of IBM's PC division in 2005. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company also produces monitors, projectors, servers, etc.

In 2011, Lenovo acquired the majority of Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Lenovo took over Motorola Mobility, which gave them a boost in the smartphone market.

From 2014 to 2016 Lenovo's market share in the global notebook market was 20-21%, ranking second behind HP. However, the distance decreased gradually. In the smartphone market, Lenovo did not belong to the Top 5 global manufacturers in 2016.


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