The Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 is as stunning as it is portable, offering substance and style with AMD-powered performance that matches the best thin-and-light laptops on the market.

This Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 is an interesting 13-inch compact ultrabook. The excellent build quality, the good typing experience, and the multiple display and configuration options are among its main selling points, alongside the elephant in the room: the balanced AMD hardware supplemented by an advanced cooling module. At the same time, you'll have to accept USB-C-only IO here, not much in audio quality, as well as some conservative power profiles and thermal limits that prevent the AMD platform from running at its peak abilities in sustained loads.

The ThinkPad Z13 squares the circle of performance and battery life to deliver a highly portable machine that provides excellent speed combined with more than a working day without a recharge. Having only two USB-C ports requires a dock.
