Product Overview

Lenovo ThinkPad C13 Yoga Chromebook Enterprise is the first model in the company's growing ThinkPad line of business laptops. It delivers the reliability and durability of a ThinkPad with the cloud-based simplicity offered by Google Chrome Enterprise.

Featuring a new Abyss Blue color, the C13 Yoga offers Lenovo's Yoga 360-degree hinge for high flexibility in form factor. With up to AMD Ryzen 7 3700C series mobile processors optimized for Chromebook, the C13 Yoga comes with two virtually bezel-less, touch-enabled display options: a Full HD IPS, and a 4K OLED display with 100% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage.

An optional garaged pen is also available for an alternative input method for quick sketching or easy notetaking. Chrome Enterprise further adds to the flexibility by providing end users with access to cloud-based applications and by facilitating speedy deployment for ITDMs.

Reviewer score 65% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from digitaltrends have found:

The ThinkPad C13 Yoga Chromebook has a target demographic, and for that audience, it has its strengths. It isn't the best performing Chromebook we've used, nor is it the longest-lasting on a single charge of the battery. Lenovo includes a docked hybrid “active capacitive” pen that doesn't need an active layer.

Pros

Comfortable keyboard
Good performance
Good battery life

Cons

Mediocre performance
No inking support

Reviewer score 81% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from laptopmag have found:

The Lenovo ThinkPad C13 Yoga Chromebook is a lovely lightweight laptop that's surprisingly tough thanks to its MIL-STD testing. It has a good performance with near-instant boot times, several security features and nearly all-day battery life. However, the Acer Chromebook Spin 713 is cheaper with better performance, longer battery life and a higher resolution screen.

Pros

Sleek, lightweight design
Excellent performance
Good battery life

Cons

Slightly smudge-prone keyboard

Reviewers from pcmag have found:

The ThinkPad C13 Yoga Chromebook is a terrific choice for businesses. The backlit keyboard has a snappy typing feel and the usual Chromebook layout. The 720p webcam and 2,592-by-1,944-pixel keyboard cam capture fairly sharp, colorful images. Side-mounted speakers produce tinny, muffled sound.

Pros

Sleek, lightweight design
Excellent keyboard and trackpad
Good battery life

Cons

No Thunderbolt 3 port

Reviewers from techradar have found:

There is an optional 5MP world-facing camera located just above the keyboard. The keyboard is the standard tenkey-less design and the keys are well spaced and responsive. There are a good number of ports available, including a pair of USB Type-C ports and an HDMI port. The optional Lenovo USI Pen is your fairly typical garaged stylus for 2-in-1 laptops.

Pros

Sleek design
Solid performance
Good battery life

Cons

No fingerprint scanner

Reviewers from theverge have found:

The ThinkPad C13 Yoga is the closest thing to a MacBook that I've seen yet in the Chromebook space. It has a strong processor, an excellent keyboard, and a solid screen. It's a bit expensive for what it offers, as is often the case with laptops targeting business users. There are more affordable Chromebooks with better battery life.

Pros

Premium build quality
Solid performance
Solid keyboard
Good battery life

Cons

16:9 screen is a big miss
No fingerprint reader
No 4K screen option

Reviewer score 80% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from wired have found:

The C13 Yoga is Lenovo's first ThinkPad Chromebook in some time. It's one of the first Chromebooks using AMD's latest 3000C-series processors. As a 2-in-1, it functions quite well, and recent updates to Chrome OS have made it even more useful as a tablet.

Pros

Solid performance
Good battery life
Built-in stylus
Plenty of ports

Cons

Battery life could be better
