Lisa, I want to thank you for a particular event in the past.
It was the Lenovo Thinkpad S1 Yoga purchase back in early 2014.
Based on your review, I bought a refurbished one (guarantee was still due at that time), and it is the one I use to type this comment. Lenovo is particularly good at making long-lasting laptops. And your reviews reflect the fact that it is.
Glad to hear this channel helped you. I'm happy to hear when people take the time to post a compliment and appreciation like yours.
My Lenovo Y520 died 2 and a half years after purchase. First, a hard drive died, then the motherboard.
Best tech reviewer out there. love me some digitizers
This is one of the best videos I've ever watched about computer's spects, despite the year, you just gave me all the info I needed to buy one of these.
Thank you so much!
I forgot to update, right after this post I got this L13 Thinkpad with 16gb ram, 512ssd and the i7 cpu, added everything including smartcard reader, finger print reader and IR cameras along with world view cam that sits right above the back lit keyboard. Runs 3 screens plus its own and will also cope with World of Tanks Blitz gaming too... I Have the screens connected by the Thinkpad hybrid dock. (dock will output 4k if needed).
Really glad I got this as opposed to the C940
Excellent review, Lisa! I wish they made a 15” version of this budget Thinkpad. It would have been perfect for my dad and lasted him for years. He bought an IdeaPad 5 15” instead, which wasn’t as durable.
P.S. I can’t wait for your Dell XPS 15 & 17 reviews.
I’m surprised. I had an Ideapad 570 from 2008 and I couldn’t kill the darn thing. Ended up giving it away to my nephew.
Thanks for the great work you're doing on your channel. IMO you are covering the most relevant products on the market. I would love to see more applied usage testing though, i.e. running more benchmarks, testing multi-tasking, more use of the touch capabilities and so on.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS REVIEW! I was about to buy the x1, but this one is a lot better on my student budget
If you are a heavy pen-user dont get this. Pen function is very bad on this. Many returned it already, including me :/
What about yoga x13 Gen1, which one is the best x13 or L13, thank you in advance
Best reviewer. Facts quickly on the table. Medium products get a fair review for what they are.
Love the shirt! My dad was an organic chem professor so I have fond memories of the periodic table in my youth.
Good review! I like how you talk about a verietey of tech reviews! And and you talk about the specs!
Awesome review, as always, Lisa! Glad to see you're doing well with all this COVID stuff! Stay safe, and keep doing what you do! (Great shirt, too! lol.)
For Lenovo, I am personally interested in Yoga Slim 7 (14", AMD 4800U), or Lenovo Legion 5 (15", AMD 4800H) models.
I don't see the point of anything under 800+900$ by intel without a dedicated gpu when the ryzen apus sell for 500-600$. Even if you don't care for anything graphically demanding it's simply future proof and has great resell value, at the same time the 3500u offers quad core and the singe thread performance isn't that much worse than intel's. The only problem is the battery life on ryzen but with the 4th gen that seems to have been greatly improved.
I saw a benchmark (3500u vs 4500u on the same laptop body) with 10-20% performance improvement with less wattage and 20C less. That's a great deal.
I just don't understand why they aren't offering more if not all models with AMD when they ve clearly stomped intel in every aspect except battery life and thermals. (I can see the issues for thin and light but that's not a budget/student/productivity laptop category)
also no thunderbolt is an issue with AMD. It's an open standard but to get the thunderbolt nametag which you can advertise you need Intel's approval, and AMD doesn't get approved, therefor you can't market thunderbolt with AMD meaning a third or more of the high end is off limits from AMD
Lisa rocking those awesome t-shirts as always 👍
Ultrabook with HDMI port, good keyboard and dedicated navigation keys sounds terrific. On the other hand I've had a bunch of WiFi issues with Lenovo's non-ThinkPad Yoga series.
I like the look, it looks very robust and pretty stylish for a budget laptop.
Lisa you are just so freaking good at your job.
This is the best review channel on youtube. Thank you.
For years, this channel's review of Yoga laptops have been the most informative and overall best.
I'm looking forward to your Yoga X1 Gen 5 review.
Lenovo released some interesting Thinkpads recently: hope you will review more of them.
Lenovo ruined the T series last year.
E. L. Jackson Agreed.
Would buy this if it had ryzen 4800u

Apparently they'be been doing this every year for over a decade now?
@@acos21 They've been steadily destroying everything that made ThinkPads so different and great. In search of the elusive mac-fan money, they've gimped all their machines trying to make them ultrabooks, and ended up with the worst of both worlds;
- Crippled performance and ergonomics (crap single internal battery / soldered ram / aspect ratio / killed the best laptop keyboard ever / glossy screens / ...) so the ThinkPad community doesn't want it.
- Still WAAAAAAY too "ugly" to compete with anything like an xps / envy / spectre / blade / mac. It will never be cool enough for the kids that want a shiny silver machine with a glowing logo on the lid.
Lenovo are morons and these machines aren't fit to bear the ThinkPad name.
I've had this Laptop for about 3 months now and used it almost daily for work and leisure. I really enjoy typing on the keyboard, although in my office setting I used it coupled with a mechanical keyboard. I'm overall really enjoying the experience with this device, but here are a few things that are sometimes troubling me:
1. The device sometimes does not seem to recognize the original power brick, and displays a warning on boot that it is not the standard power brick.
2. If you want to use wired Ethernet you will have to get an adapter. The second USB-C (which is the only C-Type available while you are charging the laptop) is so close to the proprietary ethernet port, and the plug is so wide, that you won't be able to use the USB-C port and the ethernet adapter simultaniously. You are left with 2 USB 3.1 Type A ports while charging.
3. The cooling is very slow to pick up. The i5 10210U that is in my unit heats up very quickly. Especially when the device freshly booted into windows 10 it reaches almost 100°C which is the allowed maximum for this processor. Even with this amount of heat, it takes maybe another 1-2 minutes until the fans start to kick in. There is also no option to configure a more agressive cooling.
4. The touchpad cannot be pressed along the upper edge, and it can be weirdly clicked twice depending on pressure on the lower corners.
5. There is no FN shortcut to disable the touchpad or trackpoint.
Aside from these minor issues it's a fantastic device. I've considered putting professional thermal paste on the CPU to avoid the heat issue, but I'll wait until after my warranty period to do that.
@@serenity6080 I'm pretty much checking for updates daily by using the "Lenovo System Update" app and the "Lenovo Vantage" App. I already have a dual boot with Ubuntu running, but some programs I use are not available on Linux.
How is the stylus function for this? Is it comfortable and consistent writing?
@@rylandwells403 I'm not much of a designer, but I used it a bit for some quick sketches and it worked fine. The 2 buttons on the pen are a bit hard to feel for me, but I have giant hands. For professional usage maybe a bigger pen with more distinctive buttons is better suited. For quick skribbles it's absolutely fine, and I had no problems with functionality.
Darío, hace you experienced like the laptop is always making a sound like a fan always on? It sounds weird all the time and today is day 1 with it.
@@Estudio4110 I think the cooling system is one of the biggest design issues with this unit. The single fan that is used only has a very small air intake, and there is only a single small heatpipe connecting it to the CPU. Because of this, it can happen that the fan runs pretty much all the time, if you work with the laptop.
Watching on my Thinkpad Yoga 12.. still kicking after years of heavy use where I probably shouldn't have pushed. but made it through. also dropped a few times and only got a chip on corner. This is when still used hard clamshell case.
Not too sure if they still make them the same. would consider getting a newer one if so.
I have L390 yoga. Love it, but there were some slight issues that i had to get fixed. After a while, the fingerprint reader stopped working for some reason and the charging type-c port got a little wonky (you had to wiggle the charger around in the port to get it to charge).
I'm in the same situation. Thinkpad Yoga12, soon 7 yrs old. It's extremely durable. It's now on the slow side having only 4 GB RAM. I need a convertible to read pages in portrait format. Everytime I learn a great laptop does open to a mere 130 degrees I lose interest in it.
Watching this on my moded L390 i5-8365u, 16gb RAM, LG IPS FHD pannel, and 256gb NVMe, so happy with it and missing my old modded x250 too, that i selled to buy this one!
love the review , but I couldn't any review about AMD ryzen powered laptops on this channel, could you review one?
Only the Ryzen 4000 mobile chips are worth buying, and they are far better than Intel. AMD caught up and passed Intel in only one generation. But, Ryzen 4000 laptops are still sold out everywhere. Ryzen 3000 is a fair amount behind Intel, but they have good iGPUs.
@@Austin1990 Do we know when the 4000-powered T-series are out?
Andrey
I don’t think so. It may still be rumor at this point.
@@Austin1990 ehh, I'm still hoping they're going to be released this month, since IIRC it was announced back in the February.
@@acmdzLenovo said end of June. So it should be out soon. But honestly I think its delayed.
Lisa rocks. Nothing on the market gets anywhere near her.
hi! im looking into getting this laptop as i am transitioning in to highschool from primary school! it is on the list of reccomended devices for my school, so im really glad i found this video so i could look into it more!
mh ... kind of waiting for the amd 4000 2 in 1s
Same.. the next generations of these laptops surely will have amd chips
It worries me that this channel hasn't reviewed a single AMD laptop yet though...
@@ReetPandher highly doubt it
does anybody know which 2 in 1s will actually get ryzen 4000? The only one I know of is the envy x360 which looks pretty good
@@jakobseiler The Lenovo Ideapad 5 Flex
East or West Lisa from MobileTechReview is the best 😊😊👌👌
Another Superb review Lisa! But no replaceable RAM is a down side in my opinion.
Wow, this is a quality review.
Liked the vid AND the T-shirt ;). Thank you from Canada ~
7:45 Guitar pick! I thought I was the only one that had figured that out.
Thanks for your reviews !!
Hey! I just bought one of these!!! Loving it so far! Just going to pick up a better pen to use for drawing. Picked mine up for just under $1000
I got mine about a month ago. Gotta say its a really good deal.
There is only one thing bothering me. When Im taking notes and my hand is laying on the screen as well, it will sometimes happen that a vertical line is drawn all the way to the top of the screen. Makes it pretty impossible to take notes without putting a glove on or something below my hand.
Im doing really fine with a microfibre cloth right now. Just wondering if maybe I installed the wrong drivers or something.
Thank your for the review. Really helped!
Another brilliant t-shirt. Love it!
Bought this model in 2021 for 570 usd, and 2 months ago I paid another ~60usd to upgrade the soldered 8GB ram to 16Gb (by an IT specialist). Still my daily driver after three years. And you know what, this model runs Hackintosh perfectly fine as well! My laptop has dual boot support with both Windows 11 and macOs Sonoma working like a charm😊
Hi does it work well for gaming?
Costco sells this model with 16GB ram and 1TB SSD for $500 (on sale at this time). I purchased one last month for $450 from Costco. It is more than enough for my work.
How does Linux work on it? I want to get one of these and put Linux Mint on it, I'm hesitating because I've read that Linux doesn't detect when the laptop goes into tablet mode. Supposedly this feature only works on the X series. Is it too heavy to use as a tablet in bed?
How is the sound quality? I currently have the Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5, I like the sound quality however it's being returned (defective screen) would this be a good replacement for it?
C940 or this?
Work have given me a budget and either of these are ok... thoughts please!
Note: both with the i7 16gb rather than i5
As an owner of this model, I find myself wondering if the C940 was a better choice. That's because my L13 gets really hot to the touch while working with multiple website tabs.

Hi!
Will you be able to get
Alienware m15r3
(4k oled / 2080 rtx super mxq/ 32gb ram/10th gen i9)
for a review?
Q?:
1) the overheating problems during marathon gaming
2) other issues
Thnx in advance.
How long does lenovo last these day? Earlier it use to last only as long as the warranty
Hello, I am confused between two laptops HP Spectre X 360 and Lenovo Thinkpad L13 Yoga. Both Have similar price and specs - i7 (lenovo has Gen 10, Hp has gen 11, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD. Which one is expected to be more durable and last longer (atleast 5 years)? Please advise. Thanks.
Is there any reduced display image quality on the parts of the screen you're not looking directly at?
I definitely noticed reduced display image clarity for the X13 Yoga.
Such a good device and yet a 16:9 display. I tried those screens and note taking is not that ideal on these. I wish they go with the 3:2 displays. Great review 👌👍
Lisa please review asus rog zephyrus g14, Alienware m15 R3 , dell g5 15 SE , Dell XPS 15 2020 , Dell XPS 17
All these years I really hate seeing review and unboxing videos especially high end device, because I can't really afford something like that when a new high end product like that appears every year, and watching this video was like adding salt to my wound😭😭 but I can't stop watching this since I can't help but become curious to the new product being release each year.
Btw the highest PC spec that I have right now was:
AMD Sempron 140
DDR2 2Gx1/DDR2 1Gx1
Nvidia GT610 DDR3 1GB 64bit
OS: Linux Mint Cinamon 19.3 (since linux was the only decent OS that you can run in this awesome build)
So yeah seeing this new release of PC every year really hurts my heart.
Awesome reviews, if possible could you review the 2020 hp spectre 15, I really like your reviews
If I know lisa she is working on it now. I bought my hp specter 5 years ago because her review and I never regretted it. It still works and it was a tank I dropped so much unfortunately the screen cracked but it can be used with an external monitor and the screen can be replaced but at this point I’m just going to buy a new one.
Yasss! I’m excited for Lisa’s tests on the HP Spectre x360 15T with the 10th gen processors.
Lisa always brings A game to the reviews.
I love your reviews!! I was thinking of buying this laptop but I was thinking if this is good enough to take notes with the stylus in college or do you recomend something else? Thank you!!
Hello, do you think this laptop would work nicely for apps like Photoshop and Illustrator?
I really wish they would put the pen slot in all of their products, nothing wrong with this laptop it's just if I didn't like this laptop I would have to opt for one with no pen slot
How would it compare to the Lenovo Yoga C740 with similar specs ?
The c740 doesn't have included pen but have a bigger screen. The L13 have more ports (c740 have only two usbc ports and 2 usbA ports). All the other specs are almost identical.
I had read some negative comments about the thermals of the L13 yoga (it gets hot when you perform multi-tasking).
But I still have the same doubt as you (should I buy the yoga c740 or L13 yoga?
I am sorry to say after having 4 Lenovo computer that work really well, I hit a lemon with the 5th and Lenovo customer support is almost non existent.
Which one was the lemon?
Hi Lisa, would you recommend the P1 gen 2 or a X1 yoga Gen 5 for a person who does a little CAD work on the go (remote desktop does the heavy lifting in today's climate), bluebeam, and Adode creative suite work. I currently have a P40 which I love, but I'm looking at stepping up to one of the new offerings. Stay safe.
Hi Lisa I know you probably get a endless questions like this, but I would love your recommendation as the Lenovo ThinkPad guru
I really like your reviews. You are very knowledgeable and thorough. You must get this a lot but what is your daily driver?
Does this L13 considered to be an ultrabook?
Thank you for this helpful review. I am thinking about Lenovo Yoga C940 and Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga 13 (Model: 20R5000WUS)
. Which one do you think is worth buying? Can you give me a little bit of information?
I just bought one and the pen seems to be stuck and i can’t get it out? What can i do?
So... to get the L13 or try to find an x280 - which apparently they don’t make any more ?
Can you replace the keyboard? Or is it together with the palm rest?
no stylus review :(
It's the usual Thinkpad pen which is a Wacom AES pen.
I click on "Lisa videos" because of the pen reivews. Great. I don't even watch the other reviewers...
I just returned my Lenovo L13 Yoga because the stylus --in spite of being native and "Wacom"-- works with an awful amount of lag. Do not purchase this if that matters to you. I uploaded a video to show how it works. Lenovo wasn't willing to help me troubleshoot it and I did *everything* I could find online to fix it.
@@camilapazgutierrez1606 i can confirm, pen function is awful. I returned after 2 days :/ it drew random lines and in a german lenovo forum it quickly became clear that it's a problem of the whole line
I will also offer another tiny review. I bought the C940 Yoga, top of the line model, the image quality is fantastic but I also wanted the Yoga for drawing, Well, there is a big issue with the reverse fold format and thats zero access to any keys so I found for instance I was wanting to press CTRL Z to undo but I couldn't because I had no access to the keyboard, in addition to this you MUST wear one of the drawing gloves becasue palm rejection is non existent pretty much, to cap this off, the pen itself though comfortable enough its way to small to actually draw anything accurately, at least for me. As a normal laptop and one that you can use touch screen nicely its quite nice and you could also sign forms and the like but as a drawing or editing tablet, unless you can connect a seperate keyboard and mouse, ive not tried then using the laptop as a drawing or photo editing tablet is not my recommendation.
Hi Lisa, do you have any infos on the x13 unit, when do you think you can push a review of it?
Hi i have the same laptop but i can't pull the stylus off. Any ideas how?
what is the top of the line model in 2 in one from there website? They have so many 2 in one I am overwhelmed in which one is the top of the line model.
The X1 models are the 'executive business class' (top) 2-in-1s. I have the X1 Yoga 4th gen (2019) and LOVE it!
I'm just a general home user, not a business one, but I do value ruggedness in a laptop because I tend to keep them for 5 years or more. I'm in the market for a new laptop right now, and I am debating if I would be fine with the consumer Yoga C740 or if the price premium is worth it to go to one of these Thinkpad L13s.
Thinkpads tend to be tougher (outside and inside) than regular Yogas. If it were me, I'd go with the Thinkpad, no question.
I have the older but with nvidia 940m. How would Intel uhd on board be VS my older but dedicated?
Hey Lisa, really cool shirt 😍. Wish you the BEST
I'll say they already have l390 what's point of this..?
I understand it's affordable but still..!!!
good review as always Lisa. Have you heard when the 10th gen will make it into the mobile workstation thinkpads? The speed boost seems large enough to wait but I need a new laptop so can't wait forever.
Came here for the shirt. Didn't get disappointed 😁

This ThingPad reminds me of the Yoga C7xx/C9xx series, but improved on the ports. If they ever come out this build with AMD would be interesting.
don't know if you're aware but they did
@@protocetid damn bro, that's some necro reply
@@NexuJin one time someone replied to a seven year old comment of mine, and I think I’ve seen worse heh
I just hope Acer sends you the 2020 Spin 5 when it comes out in June.
I'm helping my sister-in-law look for a new laptop for her and my nephew. I was eyeing the Yoga series, but I saw the Spin 5 and I think you get more bang for the bucks.
The Spin 5 has 2 thunderbolt ports, USB-a ports, HDMI port, 3:2 screen ration at 2k resolution, and the stylus has a garage. Perfect for her as a teacher, and perfect for my nephew who is going into high school and he loves to draw.
Not to be that guy, but after having the Spin 3 for a week, I feel like it's not very consistent performance wise. A lot of throttle - i gets hilariously hot too. But the worst part for me is the pen - i had the version that uses MPP (surface pen tech) and it was unusable. The newer one had AES so I don't know how that performed, but in past experience I'd just try the Lenovo to be safe. I'll be testing out the new AMD Flex models soon though, so if those disappoint too I'm doomed
FYI, had to repaste my Acer. Surprisingly, it’s lasted me for 3.5 yrs, upgraded the SSD, but I do have to treat it gently. Acer gives you great spec’s but they’re flimsy laptops.
Hey,
another great review.
I am on a hunt for a new 13-14" laptop, and i am still looking for something that does not have RAM soldered on.
Is the 8gb RAM in Dual Channel?
Good question- sorry I forgot to mention. It's dual channel.
@@mobiletechreview No worries.
🧡🇵🇭
Finally, some things real good.
Now then I shall trade my kidney for.
Woot.
if i did correctly understand the RAM is not upgradable?
Great review, Lisa. How about a Lenovo chromebook duet review? Especially its usability for artists. Thanks.
you look exactly like my colleague years ago...except she is Dutchy ..we were teammates at the Johan Cruyff Arena (Stadium) ...thx for vid
Do you read from a screen when you record the audios?
Have been rocking the original x1 yoga since release in 2016, seems like this might be a reasonable upgrade... wish Lenovo still sold replacement batteries or I would just continue using this and maybe rdp to my desktop when the measly 2 cores can't keep up.
Thank you for the review. Could you please also review Yoga S740 14".
You’re the best reviewer out there
Do all L13 yoga's have back light keyboards?
Hi, thanks for the detailed review. Can you do a thinkpad X13 Yoga review as well?
Great product but i miss the mat version!
Hey good information but I wanted to know if ur going to do a video on the new xp pen 24??.
Could you please do an artist review of the Acer ConceptD 7? Seems to be the most powerful in its class, but there haven't been any reviewers that really cover the drawing experience.
44Wh and that battery life, not bad. And the speakers take up quite some volume internally!
Are there ANY laptops that have the 10th Gen 10nm chips? I like power efficiency! :)
I got it for school today
can't wait for review of x1 fold
Nice review. I just got a L13 i7 at work. I like it a lot. My stylus works fine, but it is a bit small. Does anyone know if it will work with an Active Pen 2 as well? Can't see the L13 on the compatibility list.
Do you think this is better than the l390
How to charge pen came with laptop
This is super similar as my X1 yoga gen1. Not bad.
Very nice machine actually. Put a Ryzen 5 in there and its sold for me :)
I wonder if it could handle a 4600H. That would be amazing.
If only it came with the pro pen in Norway. I was going to buy it. But since it doesn't come with it i wont and it's no longer on my wishlist. The price is the same even without the pen and it's just not worth paying for less product.
I'm in Europe, too, and I'm pretty sure it comes with the pen, even if it doesn't say so in the description. That is, if you buy the L13 Yoga. There is also the L13 without a touchscreen.
I want this t-shirt
