Lenovo ThinkPad X13 G1

Lenovo's ThinkPad X13 delivers fast performance and plenty of security features in an affordable 13-inch package, but its battery life falls short.

Snappy performance, aggressive pricing, excellent battery life, great portability, and solid expansions options add up to a laptop we could see using for years to come. Everyone who needs a great ultraportable should add the ThinkPad X13 to their short list. It is an excellent machine.

We can recommend the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 1 with AMD Ryzen 4000 wholeheartedly. If one is searching for a 13.3-inch laptop, there are not many choices that offer the same level of performance. One problem may be the competition with the slightly bigger Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 1 with AMD CPUs. For most users, the T14s could be the better choice.
