Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Gen 2 Laptop w/ Intel
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Lenovo ThinkPad L13 is Lenovo's entry-level ultra-portable laptop in its premium ThinkPad sub-brand. It shares much of the design elements and feature set with the ThinkPad X13.
Unlike the 2020 X13, the L13 uses 11th-gen low-power Tiger Lake processors, making it more efficient. The L13 drops the support for LTE-A WWAN.
Despite its entry-level positioning, the L13 is tested against 12 military-grade requirements and more than 200 quality checks to ensure their robustness, like all other ThinkPad laptops. Enhanced ThinkShield features like ThinkShutter and discrete Trusted Platform Module (dTPM) offers improved security.
The ThinkPad L13 also comes in the 2-in-1 convertible form factor.

Reviewer score 77%The processor lags behind an average Core i5-1135G7 in multi-thread benchmarks. On battery power, the CPU performance is slightly limited (by 5-15%). A 512 GB Samsung PM981a serves as the system drive in our ThinkPad L13. The input devices are at the high level of the ThinkPad series, primarily the larger models.
