Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 1

The Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 1 is a sleek 13-inch business laptop that promises to deliver on performance and portability. We've got both the Intel i5 and AMD Ryzen 5 variants here, and we're excited to put them through their paces. With their slim bezels and sturdy build, these laptops are designed to take on demanding tasks with ease. But how do they stack up in real-world use?

This review aims to provide an in-depth assessment of this business-focused device, considering both its strengths and weaknesses.
