Reviewer score 70%The ThinkBook 13x is a nice little machine, being thin and light enough to toss into a backpack. It’s only 0.07 inches thinner and just 0.29 pounds lighter than the ThinkPad 13s. It offers far better value to small business users with greater expandability and faster performance.

Reviewer score 72%The ThinkBook 13x is a young whippersnapper that thought it could steal its predecessor’s shine. It has a better variety of ports, zippier performance and quicker video transcoding. Lenovo offers four payment tiers: $2.99 for one hour of speech translation, $14.99 and $28.49 for 10 hours.

Reviewer score 69% Lenovo installs a 512 GB SSD from Samsung, which already supports the fast PCIe 4.0 standard. It achieves good read and write rates that are a bit slower than in other notebooks with this mass storage. In the 3DMark tests, the ThinkBook 13x achieves an average result and can place itself in the middle of our test field.

Reviewer score 75%The Lenovo ThinkBook 13x is a capable ultraportable thanks to its lightweight design, productive 16:10 screen, and quality keyboard, touchpad, and speakers. It's reasonably priced and even comes with a Bluetooth mouse. But Lenovo has shaved off a tenth of an inch from the ThinkPad X13 Gen 2, which might be a better choice.
