I've had the pleasure of using the Lenovo Thinkpad L13 Yoga Gen 2 for the past 2 years as my primary work machine, and I must say, it's an exceptional laptop that delivers on both performance and versatility. The 13.3-inch screen size is perfect for those seeking a portable device without sacrificing productivity.
The Intel 11th gen i7 processor is a powerhouse, providing smooth and lag-free multitasking. Whether I was running demanding applications or tackling resource-intensive tasks, this laptop handled everything with ease. The processing speed and performance were truly remarkable, making it a reliable companion for both work and leisure.
The 2-in-1 capability is a standout feature, allowing the device to be used in various modes for work, streaming, and note taking. The flexibility proved to be incredibly useful for presentations, video conferences, and entertainment purposes. The touch screen was responsive and accurate, making it effortless to navigate through applications and web pages.
The build quality is also nothing short of exceptional with a sturdy metal body, and the keyboard provided a comfortable typing experience. The keys are well-spaced and had a satisfying tactile feedback, which enhanced my typing speed and accuracy.
Battery life was another area where the Thinkpad L13 Yoga Gen 2 impressed me. With moderate usage, I easily got through a full workday without needing to recharge. It's a relief not having to constantly worry about finding a power outlet.
The laptop's connectivity options were more than adequate, featuring USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, and an audio jack. Additionally, the integrated fingerprint reader added an extra layer of security, ensuring quick and secure access to my files and accounts.
However, one minor drawback I noticed was the laptop's speakers. While they provided clear sound, the volume levels were not as high as I would have preferred. This issue was easily rectified by using external speakers or headphones when needed.
Overall, the Lenovo Thinkpad L13 Yoga Gen 2 is an outstanding laptop that ticks all the right boxes. Its powerful performance, versatility, and impressive battery life make it an ideal choice for professionals and students alike.

My old work uses the Lenovo Thinkpads laptop and it is excellent. So I got the similar one… the keyboard feels right to typed in, the whole case structure feels ridgid and light weight. I couldn’t ask for more.

This is the best laptop i have ever used for my work. i got a lemon and the hard drive went in it, but i still prefer it over the brand new one i recently purchased that was supposed to be comparable to my thinkpad as far as RAM and memory go.

I've had the laptop for about a week now, and so far I've been loving it. No problems running the large amount of programs I tend to have open at once (office suite, multiple chrome tabs, data analysis in R Studio, and zoom all at once). I chose this laptop to get me through my PhD program for the next four years. I love the small size, and the keyboard and trackpad are great (I also have a USB mouse but half the time I end up using the trackpad anyways cause I love it so much). Only downside for me so far is I actually had to exchange the first one I got in the mail for a new one because it came with a couple dead pixels, so quality control isn't top notch. Luckily it was an easy process when I went into the Best Buy store even though the initial order was online.

The laptop's great although I just noticed this issue where when I put my laptop to sleep and turn it back on, the keyboard just isn't functional anymore. So I always have to restart the laptop and it's actually getting frustrating especially considering the fact that this is a new PC( got this last week Thursday). The speakers are average not really exceptional. The battery life lasts about 4 to 6 hrs from my experience.

We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga. Putting the computer in Sleep Mode, then waking the computer will not effect the functionality of the laptop keyboard, normally. Be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. There is no need to install Microsoft Office software. The software is already part of the operating system, you just need to activate the software with a purchased product key. If you have installed a copy of Microsoft Office, this is conflicting with the existing copy on the system and this will slow your system down. If you have installed a 3rd party anti-virus program, be sure that Windows Defender is turned off and that the trial version of McAfee Anti-Virus software is uninstalled. There can only be one anti-virus program on the system. You may need to restore your system to original factory default settings if any of the programming errors have occurred. You can do that by typing "restore" in the Cortana search window. Just click on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom left of your Windows 10 Desktop. Click on "Reset This PC" Then click on "Get Started" and follow the on screen directions to restore to factory defaults. If the problem persists, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686.

I'm heavy handed and I needed a keyboard that was not too sensitive to touch. I had to have a laptop for traveling so portability was important and the battery life meets my needs. As far as performance is concerned, it is a race car on steroids.

Initially, the laptop was overheating when asleep and plugged in but interestingly enough when asleep and not plugged in this resolved. Also, the fans kicked in on idle and the laptop got a little heated on idle. Miraculously all these issues were resolved when I updated the BIOS.
It's a Thinkpad so it's a great feeling laptop, I was comparing it to the Dell Inspiron 7306, another 13-inch laptop with similar specs and a pen. I would have to say the ThinkPad keyboard and mouse really bought me over even though at the moment the dell had a slight edge in the specs. Typing on the Thinkpad keyboard is a pleasure.
My final little gripe with the ThinkPad though is when asleep you can hear a subtle whirring/electric crackling sound from it. I have exchanged this laptop and the 2nd laptop had the exact same issue and after looking this up if seems that this was "normal", I'm not buying it but I'll just be living this that on this otherwise awesome laptop.

Excellent multipurpose laptop! I was hesitant about the touchscreen, but it is wonderful! It works well as both a traditional laptop and touch-screen tablet. The built-in stylus makes drawing and navigating in tablet form much easier. The display is large and the graphics are very clear, making it easy to read. It is good as an all-purpose personal laptop.

Overall it was just okay, battery power was too less, after 2 to 3 hours battery used to drain, also sound system is not at all up to the mark, the reason for my return!
I would not recommend this product if working for long hours!

I've been using this for about a month. I wanted to wait before posting a review. I've had many laptops previously to compare to. Overall this is a very efficient machine. I like the very quick startup when opening the screen or turning it on. The hardware is very solid but this comes at the expense of a thicker and more bulky computer. The built-in pen is nice but I haven't used it much.
