Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Yoga G4 Laptop Review: Convertible with long battery life and weak performance

Tame Raptor. With the ThinkPad X13 Yoga Gen 4, Lenovo has released the newest member of its traditional business convertible series. This new model has a retooled design with much improved battery life numbers, but a puny performance.

As so often with ThinkPads, the ThinkPad Yoga laptops have a long history under their belt: The origins of this series go back to the year 2005, when Lenovo as the new owner of the ThinkPad brand introduced the ThinkPad X41 Tablet. These ThinkPad X Tablets with a rotating hinge were made until 2012, being replaced in 2013 by the ThinkPad Yoga line with 360 degree hinges.

The newest Thinkpad Yoga is the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Yoga Gen 4, a convertible for business customers. In Lenovo's ThinkPad Yoga lineup, it occupies the mid-tier section, being placed between the affordable ThinkPad L13 Yoga G4 and the more expensive ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 8. It could be the ideal medium between expensive and affordable.

Chassis: robust magnesium hull for the X ThinkPad

In comparison with the ThinkPad X13 Yoga Gen 3, Lenovo has completely renewed the design, creating a completely new chassis. Part of this redesign is a return to the "deep black" as the ThinkPad color, with the dark grey "thunder black" now being passé again. Also new are the hinges, which now sit behind the base, making the X13 Yoga look more like a regular laptop than before. Extremely noticeable is the "reverse notch" on the screen lid, which is sort of a hump on the lid. You will either hate or love this look, but it is without question that this feature makes opening the screen easier.

The materials have changed as well. With the preceding model, Lenovo used a lot of CFRP (Carbon fiber reinforced plastic). The new model is mostly made out of magnesium alloy: Screen lid and palmrest are magnesium here. The bottom cover is aluminum. The screen is additionally protected from the front with a matte glass panel. All of this combined makes the ThinkPad X13 Yoga Gen 4 one of the most stable ThinkPad laptops of this generation, as it can not really be twisted or dented anywhere. The stiffness of the hull is greatly improved compared with the earlier model. A small caveat: The black, rubberized surfaces, which feel high quality, get dirty fast.

The ThinkPad convertible can not be opened up with one finger. On the flip side, the wide hinges of the ThinkPad Yoga allow for an opening angle of 360 degrees, enabling the transformation into a tablet as well as a tent or stand mode. The hinges hold the lid firm, with barely any wiggling.

Compared with the predecessor, the X13 Yoga G4 has increased in weight by 30 g, and it is 0.5 mm thicker. At the same time, it is slightly less wide. The higher weight is probably due to the transition from CFRP to magnesium.

In comparison with the other ThinkPad convertible, the X13 Yoga G4 is still the most lightweight and most compact model. The Dell Latitude 9330 is more lightweight, smaller and thinner.

Connectivity: LTE is prepared with the Lenovo laptop

The ports are placed evenly on both sides of the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Yoga G3. The port selection does not change otherwise, it confirms to the usual business standard and is much better than the Dell Latitude 9330.

Communication

The AX211 by Intel, a WiFi 6E module, delivers a good performance in the ThinkPad X13 Yoga G4, though it is lower when sending data compared with receiving them. This often happens, but it is no problem in everyday use.

Webcam

The webcam receives a huge spec-up compared with the predecessor. The picture quality of the 5 Megapixel camera is better than before, but far from a smartphone.

Security

As a business laptop, the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Yoga G4 has many features in this area. Part of the package are a fingerprint reader in the power button, the infrared camera besides the normal webcam, a dedicated TPM chip, a Kensington lock slot and a Smartcard reader - this feature is something the larger X1 Yoga G8 does not have. Lenovo also included a privacy feature, the mechanical webcam shutter "ThinkShutter".

Accessories

Lenovo puts a compact 65 W GaN charger into the box. Another part of the package: The Wacom digitizer pen, which is integrated into the chassis.

Maintenance

Opening the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Yoga G4 is easy: Five captive screws and a few clips at the back of the chassis, that is all that stands in the way of the operation. On the flip side, there is not much to do in there, as components like the RAM or the WiFi module are soldered down. The M.2 2280 SSD is upgradable, and there is a free M.2 2242 slot for a LTE card - with the necessary antennas already in place. Also, users can easily exchange the screwed in battery or clean the single fan.

Warranty

The Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Yoga Gen 4 has a 36 month warranty, which includes Bring in service. For the first year, this warranty package includes Premier support with onsite service, too. This service costs extra if you want it to apply to the whole warranty period. Lenovo gives the battery only a one year warranty. Since this is an enterprise device, the warranty not only applies if you are in Germany, but also internationally, though without any onside service.

Input devices: ThinkPad input devices without any issues

Keyboard

Lenovo puts in a keyboard that is very similar to the predecessor's. It is a 95 % keyboard, meaning the keys measure 10 x 14 mm instead of 11 x 15 mm. Also, the 6th row of the keyboard is reduced in height and the dedicated "Insert" key is missing. For users of that key this is definitely a nuiscance, but overall, it is easy to get used to the smaller layout - and Lenovo keeps the dedicated PageUp/Down buttons.

The key travel of the backlit keyboard is still 1.5 mm. This is less than older ThinkPads, but more than MacBooks or the Dell XPS for example. All in all, the typing experience is great with a soft yet firm stroke, making typing a breeze.

Touchpad and TrackPoint

With 10.5 x 5.5 cm, the touchpad is rather small. The surface is smooth, but it is made out of plastic, even though Lenovo calls it "glass like mylar". It is a clickpad with the click mechanism in the lower part. The mechanism is rather loud, but at least the touchpad does not wobble or rattle. It is not an above average trackpad, but it gets the job done and works flawlessly.

As always, the touchpad is complimented by the ThinkPad TrackPoint, a feature that characterizes the ThinkPad series. The pointing stick is used by putting pressure on the red TrackPoint cap, with the dedicated TrackPoint buttons between the touchpad and keyboard serving as mouse keys. The TrackPoint works as well as ever and better than the size constrained touchpad in some ways, like for Drag&Drop operations.

Touchscreen and Pen

The touchscreen is not as smooth as on laptops with a glossy touchscreen, thanks to the matte screen protector. Touch sensing of the screen, works flawlessly and can recognize up to ten fingers at the same time.

Alternatively to the finger, users can also use the digitizer pen, which Lenovo puts into a silo on the right side of the chassis. The Wacom AES pen is pressure sensitive and gets charged in the silo, making a battery change unnecessary. The pen works without problems, even at the edges of the display. It is ideal for taking notes, but too thin for digital artists who may want to use their pen for longer periods of time. The buttons on the pen are also hard to use, because they are so flat.

Lenovo does not change either the aspect ratio (16:10) or the screen size (13.3 inch), all panels are still based on IPS technology and still support touch and pen. Otherwise, many things have changed, Lenovo has made the screen choice easier by taking some options out. One of them is the WQXGA panel, which we tested in the ThinkPad X13 Yoga G3, the Privacy Guard option is gone as well. New is the Low power WUXGA panel, there are now three instead of four screen options: 

  • WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200), 300 cd/m², 72 % NTSC, semi-glossy
  • WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200), 300 cd/m², 72 % NTSC, matte
  • WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200), 400 cd/m², 72 % NTSC, matte, Low Power

For a pretty expensive laptop, the choice of screen options is rather thin, as the lack of a high res screen option is especially bad. At least, the WUXGA panel that Lenovo used reaches the promised brightness value of 400 cd/m² with a measured average of 431 cd/m². This panel also has low response times in comparison with the comparison devices. Not so great: The matte screen protector takes away from the billiance of the colors.

Ex factory the screen has a noticeable yellowish tint according to Calman, though it is even visible with the naked eye. The high average deltaE of 5.3 shows how big the differences compared with "neutral" colors are. After a calibration with the X-Rite i1 Pro 2 and the i1Profiler, the yellowish tint was gone. The average deltaE post calibration of 2 is not perfect, but certainly a lot better than before. The color profile we created is available to download for free, as always.

Color gamut of 96 % of the sRGB gamut is not enough to call it "complete coverage". For photo editing, this panel is not quite ideal.

Users have no trouble with reflections, as the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Yoga Gen 4 has a matte screen surface and brightness of above 400 cd/m², making the screen viewable even in a bright environment.

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
16 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 7.5 ms rise
↘ 8.5 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 30 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.9 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
29.7 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 11.4 ms rise
↘ 18.3 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 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 32 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (34.5 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: 54 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18982 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Performance: X13 Yoga G4 weak under load

The predecessor Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Yoga G3 was limited to the U15 Intel chips - with the successor X13 Yoga Gen 4, Lenovo now offers performat P28 chips with up to 14 cores. Specifically, buyers have the choice between the Intel Core i5-1335U, i5-1345U, i7-1355U, i7-1365U, i7-1360P and i7-1370P - though at the moment, the P28 variant is not available in Germany. As a GPU, it is either the Iris Xe with 80 EUs or the stronger variant Iris Xe with 96 EUs, depending on the processor.

RAM is always soldered, offered ate 8, 16 or 32 GB LPDDR5-4800. A single M.2 2280 SSD forms the mass storage, with two terabyte being the maximum amount offered by Lenovo.

Testing conditions

While other manufacturers utilize their own software to regulate the CPU power consumption and power profiles, Lenovo depends on the built in Windows tools with the ThinkPad laptops. Accordingly, the three power modes are set viawith the Windows energy settings: 

  • Best battery life: PL1 12 Watt / PL2 12 Watt
  • Balanced: PL1 12 Watt / PL2 35 Watt
  • Best performance: PL1 15 Watt / PL2 45 Watt

"PL" is short for "power limit", with the power limit 1 describing the maximum power consumption under sustained load and the power limit 2 defining the maximum boost performance.

The bottom line: The Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Yoga G4 is able to cool a maximum of 15 W under sustained load, at least the tested version - models with the P28 CPU have a stronger cooling system with a second fan, possibly enabling a higher power consumption, higher fan noise, temperatures as well as better CPU performance.

Processor

The Intel Core i5-1335U is a U15 processor of the "Raptor-Lake" generation. This processor has a total of ten cores, with two performant P cores and eight efficient E cores. The clock rates are between 1.3 and 4.6 GHz (P cores) and 0.9 and 3.4 GHz (E cores). For comparisons with other CPUs, you can use the CPU comparison list.

Overall, the performance of the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Yoga G4 is disappointing. The boost performance is high and better compared with the preceding model, but when it comes to sustained load on all cores, the newer model is slower than the older ThinkPad X13 Yoga G3 zurück. At least the performance is high in everyday office usage, but the X13 Yoga Gen 4 once again demonstrates that the recent Intel CPUs are simply not made for a power consumption lower than 25 W. Under sustained load, the affordable ThinkPad L13 Yoga G4 is much faster as well, it is only slower than the Intel model in single core load.

CPU performance is not limited when the system runs on battery power.
