Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 Gen 1 Review

The Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 Gen 1 is a high-end laptop that blends in more elements of ultra-premium style laptops than other ThinkPads.

Fairly bright, practical matt screen ; Small footprint ; Decent performance

Expensive ; Poor touchpad ; Keyboard lacks the classic ThinkPad feel

A quality ultraportable PC with some top specs, but it loses too much of the ThinkPad series’s DNA, and the touchpad haptics need work.

Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 (Gen 1) review: Is it ThinkPad enough?

The first-generation ThinkPad Z13 tries some different ideas, but will diehard ThinkPad fans like this new take? Here's our review...

Very light and portable ; Aluminium casing feels good ; Long battery life ; Great CPU performance, good GPU power

Keyboard and touchpad feel insubstantial by ThinkPad standards ; Webcam bulge looks a bit weird ; Very limited connections ; Super expensive

While it doesn’t have all that much of the classic ThinkPad feel, the Z13 is an excellent travel laptop that crams long battery life and great performance into a small footprint.

Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 review

A small but potent ThinkPad

Lightweight ; AMD Ryzen powered ; Excellent battery life

Two USB-C ports ; Challenging trackpad ; Slow NVMe drive ; Soldered memory

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.

Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 review: The battery life shocked me

Ultraportable with serious stamina to boot

Gorgeous, premium build quality ; Super small and lightweight ; Decent AMD Ryzen performance ; Impressive battery life ; Ergonomic keyboard (and Trackpoint)

Just two USB-C ports ; Slow SSD speed ; Tinny speakers ; Pretty mid display ; A little pricey at $1,400

The Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 is a belter of a luxury ultraportable, packing decent power, serious ergonomics and fantastic battery life into a miniscule, premium frame.
