Lenovo’s line of ThinkPad laptops are nothing new, they have been the standard for a business and productivity laptop for years. Typically we see these unit powered by Intel and sometimes AMD mobile processors, but we have something new in the ThinkPad X13s. This is Lenovo’s first Snapdragon laptop, which was built in close collaboration with Qualcomm and features their Snapdragon 8Cx Gen 3. This extremely thin and light laptop (only 2.35lbs) has the longest battery life we’ve seen on a ThinkPad and even comes with 5G connectivity! Seems like it would be the perfect device for the professional on the go, let’s take a look and see what it can do!
Special thanks to Lenovo for providing us with the ThinkPad X13s to review.
