Lenovo has released the ThinkPad C13 Yoga Chromebook, a ThinkPad-branded convertible Chromebook with AMD’s Ryzen 3000 C-Series processors inside. It’s fast and runs Chrome OS without any significant problems. But it’s pricey, and its battery life is a disappointment.

The build quality and aesthetics of the C13 Yoga are very impressive. Typing on the keyboard is a joy and the inclusion of a stylus is a nice surprise. Sadly, it doesn’t make up for poor battery life and occasional performance glitches.

With the new AMD 3000C-series CPUs, the Lenovo ThinkPad C13 Yoga Chromebook is definitely as powerful a Chromebook as you're going to find. You're going to pay a premium for its best features, but considering it's a Chromebook, that means it may last you for many years to come, and it's still cheaper than some of its closest rivals. If you've got the money and you're willing to invest in a future-proof Chromebook, this might be the one.
