Lenovo - ThinkPad L13 Yoga 2-in-1 13.3" Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 256GB SSD - Black

Great laptop, good quality and excellent size and weight. I've had another laptop's brand and for me Lenovo are one of the best and they have a big selection of models..I recommend it widely.

No complaints excellent laptop. Would refer anyone to this .

This is a great all around 2-in-1 with very little video or written reviews available online. That's probably because it's not the flashiest or sexiest laptop out there, an is easily overshadowed by other more expensive Thinkpads. I own a Macbook Pro 16" and use that as my main computer at home (32-inch monitor and peripherals), but I was looking for something smaller, less expensive, and mobile for my work. I also have an LTE iPad Air 3 with the new Logitech trackpad keyboard, but as much as I want to love that device for taking to work sites, iPadOS just makes it unusable for me because it doesn't run full Microsoft Office. I need to be able to lock/unlock spreadsheets among other small but mandatory tasks for my workflow that are just not available on the mobile versions. Quickly adding multiple attachments to an email in outlook just challenges your patience. Until an iPad can run full desktop MS Office (for those of us that need all the functionality of full MS Office), it's still just an oversized iPhone. A few things that were must-haves in my search where: 1) Windows tablet or 2-in-1 with stylus support (in-site note taking), at least 8GB of RAM (need to multitask), preferably 256 GB SSD, USB-C charging (for mobile charger), under $1000. I have always loved (and owned) surface pro devices. I first bought a Surface Go 2 (M3 version) and thought that would be the perfect device, but once I got my hands on it I realized the form factor did not justify the near $1,000 cost with keyboard and stylus for the amount of power. My first few Zoom calls were a bit frustrating with multi-tasking and screen sharing. I did love the form factor and portability, just not the cost that went with it when you added the keyboard and stylus. I then found an open-box 256GB surface pro 7 with type cover for $798 and I thought that would be the best device for me. Like the Surface Go, I have always loved the Surface Pro but reliability had been an issue for me in the past. So I thought maybe now my luck may have changed, but the Surface Pro 7 suffered from issues with the processor throttling under minor load with excel, staying below 1GHz and stuttering severely. As nice as the passive cooling is for being quiet, that also makes it slow down during sustained loads. All updates installed and I even refreshed the device but nothing, the Pro had to go back. Then I found the L13 Yoga on sale and went for it. This device has everything I was looking for. No, it's not as portable as the Surface Go 2, or as light and portable as the Surface Pro 7, or is the screen also not as high resolution and bright (+400 nits) as both of those devices. BUT, for around $600 on sale, it has better battery life, charges via USB-C, better performance on sustained loads due to active cooling, has an included stylus that docks and charges in the device, and meets military specifications for durability. All this for just north of 3lbs. Yes, as others have noted it gets hot, particularly in one spot near the processor, but I rarely use a laptop on my lap so it's not an issue for me. Also, the fan is not very loud. For a mobile professional like me, this has an HDMI port for presentations, two USB-A, two USB-C, and a micro SD card slot. The built-in pen is small and not the most comfortable size for taking notes for a long time, but it's built-in and charges in the device so hard to lose it. I can always buy a larger Wacom pen and still be substantially less costly than the other two devices. The Thinkpad trackpoint and physical mouse buttons are an added bonus but have to get used to using them. Battery life has been about 6.5 hours with brightness at 50% and better performance setting on windows (running email and office programs and occasional Zoom call and online videos). I got about 6 hours on the Surface Go 2 and 4.5 hours on the Surface Pro 7 with similar settings and similar work loads. The Surface Pro 7 had terrible battery life. The fast charging works, getting to about 80% in less than an hour. It charges from my powerbank with 30watt USB-C PD. The screen is bright enough for me, though I wish it was brighter, but again, it's ok given other things it brings to the table for the cost. At 125% scaling for the 1080p display, I get about the same workspace as the Surface Pro at a comfortable scaling setting. Also has instant-on similar to the surface devices. I highly recommend this product at the full price of 899 over the other two products I compared. At 699 or better with a student discount, it's a no brainer.

I think the keyboard is the most important feature of any laptop. If you can't type the rest of the features are useless. The keyboard is really good for touch typing, there is a lot of 'travel' when you press a key. There are separate keys for page up/down and the arrows. A lot of keyboards now combine them and you need to use the function keys. This is my second Yoga and after 6+ years it was time for an upgrade. The other unit is still working I just needed more power. I love the pen. It is a good tool for some stuff. I actually didn't know there was a pen until I read a review. It is not in any of the BB photos. The sales reps in the store didn't mention it when I first went in checking out the current keyboards. The next time I was there I showed them. There is a reported problem of the unit shutting off when moved. It happened once and after 3 weeks it has not happened again.

Less expensive and better than the X1. I bought an X1 a year ago. The screen became damaged and the touch screen no longer works. Given the price of repair, buying a new laptop a more viable option. I weighed many options and almost bought them online, but after two visits to Best Buy and the support of the sales people decided on this. There really is something to be said about seeing things in person. I absolutely love how the pen on this has a little nesting place, and unlike other products the pen comes with it (as well as the keyboard). This feels like the good old ThinkPad that I used 20 years ago with all the functionality of the best computers on the market. It's a bit thicker (AKA more solid) than some other options. When my X1 screen broke I took it to a local shop and they said "most people only buy one touch screen" That is because they break and are not worth the extra expense. You really need to ask yourself what you need. If you need a touch screen and are going to annotate with a stylus then this is a great choice (I'm a teacher and need the stylus when I teach math.) It is better (in my humble opinion) than the X1 (Thinner, slightly larger, and more fragile, fingerprint ID also broke). BUT I think it might be best to also purchase the insurance on this. I purchased an open box saving $150 and the Best Buy Service for $250. I think that is a bargain. It is good to know that I will have a working laptop 3 years from now. To conclude this feels like a good old ThinkPad solid, mayb a bit clunky, and you can see the smudges of oils of the user. But it is a personal computer after all.

This is a nice laptop and good for general use. It’s a good intro into Lenovo 2-in-1 laptops. However, I did decide to return it for an upgraded X1 model after using it for 1 day. The screen size was a little smaller than I anticipated, and when using the laptop in your lap the device gets a little hot and becomes uncomfortable (other reviewers mentioned this issue but I was hoping it was an isolated problem in a few devices). I am not sure if it heats up the same on an actual surface, but having to sit the device on something to keep your thighs from burning can be slightly annoying. Some good qualities are the pre-installed webcam cover and stylus. It is flexible and lightweight, and loads fast. With coupons or on sale, it is a decent purchase/investment and you can rarely go wrong with Lenovo products.

I have been searching for a laptop to use for work and personal use. I tried everything from Dell Inspiron and XPS, HP Spectre x360, Lenovo c930 and surface laptop 3. I finally decided to give the Thinkpad a try even though I initially did not love the looks of a Thinkpad. Well, that has changed! I enjoy using this laptop and is amazing to use. I have the ports I need, the screen is great and does not have a ton of glare (c930, surface, and HP were bad with screen glare). The battery is great for my needs, I am able to get 6-8 hours of screen time and the fact that I can charge via USB-C is fantastic as I can use a power charging brick. The new i5 10th gen processor is fast, snappy and perfect for productivity work and anything that I have thrown at it has worked perfectly. The laptop can probably handle more than I have thrown at it and makes it future proof to me. The RAM for my needs is enough as I do not use this laptop for gaming or photo or video editing. The best part of this laptop is the keyboard! It is an absolute joy to type on this machine. That was my biggest pain point with all of the other laptops. The ultrabook laptops just had inadequate keyboard for anyone that types papers, spreadsheets, word docs or sends tons of emails. While the laptop does not have Windows hello, the fingerprint reader is more than adequate for logging in. My one complaint and it is very minor would be the chin that the laptop has. I would like to see that reduced in future models. However, I know that they leave a chin that size when using it as a tablet. Overall, this is an amazing laptop and would recommend to anyone wanting a laptop that just gets work done. It's not fancy, it's not glamourous but it gets the job done amazingly perfect. I will now use ThinkPads from now on and not look at any other model or brand of laptop.,

I absolutely love my ThinkPad. I bought it and it works smooth as as can be. I really like the pen that also comes with it. To me it is very handy to do many things with for what I need this laptop for. Other laptops out there cost so much more and you have to buy a pen which is $100.00 dollars extra. This laptop if you are looking for something that is fast and reliable don’t walk run and get one. You will not be disappointed.
