Lenovo updates the ThinkPad X13 Yoga range. The 2 in 1 notebook now has a new aluminum housing, a presence detector, and a fingerprint sensor in the power button.
The new Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Yoga Gen 2 relies on Intel processors. Specifically, the 11th core generation models are used, whereby users can also order powerful i7 processors. Accordingly, an integrated graphics solution up to the Intel Iris X is used. As usual, the Lenovo X13 Yoga can also be used as a tablet, the integrated pen also allows precise drawing of sketches.
Up to 32 gigabytes of LPDDR4 memory is available, which operates at a clock rate of up to 4,266 MHz. An SSD up to two gigabytes in size, connected via PCIe, serves as internal storage.
The 305 x 213.9 millimeter and 15.39-millimeter thick 2-in-1 laptop weighs at least 1.2 kilograms and is available with a total of four display options. The 13.3-inch panels are each equipped with touch functionality. The WQXGA panel has a brightness of 400 cd/m² and should be particularly eye-friendly due to the low proportion of blue light. The three WUXGA variants should offer 500 and 300 cd/m², with the brightest model being equipped with the privacy guard filter.
External screens or hubs can be connected via two Thunderbolt 4 ports and one HDMI 2.0, plus only a single USB A port – in practice, a dock or hub should be necessary for a comparatively large number of applications.
The connection to a network is via WiFi 6, an LTE modem can be ordered. In the best-case scenario, the webcam has an HD release with an IR sensor. The authentication can take place particularly easily via a fingerprint sensor built into the switch.

The new version of the Lenovo X13 Yoga pricing starts from $1481 and now available to buy via Bhphotovideo.com, Amazon.com, and Newegg.com online retailers.
