Lenovo ThinkPad X13s Review

The Lenovo ThinkPad X13s offers the high build quality and fantastic keyboard you'd expect from the range but boasts an unreasonable price.

Lightweight and compact ; Quality, responsive keyboard ; Great webcam ; Reliable battery life

Snapdragon 8cx Gen brings a lot of limitations ; Limited port selection ; Very expensive

The Lenovo ThinkPad X13s is a solid productivity laptop aimed at office workers or university students. It does not indulge itself in many luxury features, despite the asking price matching a powerful MacBook or sleek Zenbook.

Lenovo ThinkPad X13s review

ARM-based laptop with incredible battery life

Lightweight ; Next-level battery life ; Dual NVMe slots

Two USB-C ports ; ARM platform won’t run all apps ; Expensive

This laptop begs to ask the question of why you might want Windows 11 if you can’t run all Windows applications. There are some reasons, but there are just as many for running Linux or using a Chromebook. Amazing battery life is available for those...

Lenovo ThinkPad X13s Gen 1 Review

Extra-light for a 13-incher ; Superior battery life ; Bright 16:10 screen ; Option for 5G wireless ; Silent operation ; High-res webcam

Pricey, unless you catch it on a sale ; Not compatible with all apps ; Minimal ports, and no Thunderbolt 4 ; Chassis gets hot under load ; Shallow, ThinkPad-atypical keyboard

Lenovo’s ARM-based ultraportable ThinkPad X13s delivers excellent battery life and anywhere-5G connectivity, but practicality and price slay this Snapdragon model for most shoppers.

Lenovo ThinkPad X13s Gen 1 review: Flexing its ARM battery life

Over 15 hours of battery life may make you forgive its average performance

Outstanding battery life ; Elegant and durable design ; Good webcam performance ; Display quality is excellent ; Keyboard is top notch

Windows on ARM software incompatibilities ; Lack of OpenGL support

Outstanding battery life, with just enough small victories to overcome its addiction to being average in every other way.

Lenovo ThinkPad X13s 5G Review: Is Mobile Speed Enough?

The Lenovo ThinkPad X13s 5G delivers high-speed data for the modern mobile worker -- is that enough, or does a business notebook need processing power, too?

Lightweight and easy to travel with ; Fast always-on 5G connection ; Emphasis on security by Lenovo

Processor slower than the competition ; Fingerprint scanner difficult to set up ; Limited number of USB ports

Lenovo ThinkPad X13s review: A premium Arm-based ultraportable with 5G and long battery life

The Windows on Arm experience is improving and Lenovo's ThinkPad X13s is a good showcase, but there's plenty of equally or more capable competition.

Compact and lightweight ; Good battery life ; 5G support ; Quiet in operation (fanless) ; 5MP webcam with IR

Moderate performance ; No HDMI or Thunderbolt 4 ports ; No memory card reader ; Some Windows apps may not work on Arm platform

Lenovo's ThinkPad X13s is a compact and lightweight Windows on Arm ultraportable, and probably the leading example of its kind. It's well built and offers 5G support plus long battery life, which will make it appealing to mobile professionals of...
