Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 2 (2021)

Lenovo Thinkpad L13 Yoga Gen 2 features a configuration of Core™ i5-1135G7 | 8GB | SSD 256GB | 13.3 inch FHD Touch. This is one of the first laptops to feature the Intel Tiger Lake processor and the first ThinkPad L series to include the advanced Thunderbolt 4 protocol.

Lenovo Thinkpad L13 Yoga Gen 2 Design

The Lenovo Thinkpad L13 Yoga Gen 2 uses a matte black finish, combined with an aluminum/magnesium alloy lid and a fiberglass-reinforced plastic bottom. In laptop mode, the screen may wobble slightly when touched, but it hardly flexes when you hold the screen corners or press the keyboard; the device has passed dozens of US MIL-STD 810G military standard tests for shock, vibration, and harsh environmental conditions such as high temperature, humidity, and dust.

Lenovo Thinkpad L13 Yoga Gen 2 Display

The Lenovo Thinkpad L13 Yoga Gen 2 features a 13.3 inch IPS touchscreen with 1,920 x 1,080 pixels, offering decent brightness (300 nits), good contrast, and clear details; the screen components look as sharp as pixels. Colors are rich and saturated. The ThinkPad Pen Pro stylus, which features two buttons, can be charged while docked in the slot at the front right corner of the hinge; it provides 2,048 levels of pressure sensitivity and offers excellent palm rejection while maintaining the fastest sketching and graffiti speeds.

Camera and Audio

A privacy shutter will disable the 720p webcam. Images captured by this camera are slightly soft and lose focus, but they are quite clear and colorful. The bottom-firing speakers produce fairly loud sound that is slightly hollow with limited bass, but the treble and mids are solid, helping you easily distinguish overlapping audio segments. Dolby Audio Premium software allows you to switch between dynamic presets for music, movies, games, and voice, or customize settings using the equalizer.

Performance of Lenovo Thinkpad L13 Yoga Gen 2

The Lenovo Thinkpad L13 Yoga Gen 2 is equipped with an 11th Gen Intel Core i5 Tiger Lake processor, making office tasks effortless. The 8GB of RAM is sufficient for simple tasks, and the machine also supports upgrades up to 16GB. Lenovo continues to use an M.2-2280 SSD on the Lenovo Thinkpad L13 Yoga Gen 2, connected via PCIe 3.0 x4 interface, allowing users to easily replace and upgrade it. Additionally, the machine features integrated Intel Xe Graphics, which helps run office work and basic games that do not require high configurations smoothly.

Lenovo Thinkpad L13 Yoga Gen 2 Connectivity

The number and placement of ports remain unchanged, but the USB ports are faster. One of the two USB-C ports supports Thunderbolt 4. The HDMI output also complies with the 2.0 standard. Therefore, the machine also supports 4K display output at 60 Hz.
