[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just got this little laptop (ThinkPad L13 Yoga) and it has been a joy. I installed Fedora 32 Linux on it and everything worked smoothly without even installing any special drivers. The included pen even works in Linux too! Here are some specific things I like about it.
1) Great Linux support. The wifi, touchpad, keyboard, tablet-mode and stylus all work flawlessly with no configuration required (for Fedora 32).
2) Good build quality. The laptop is very well put together with tight firm joints. I took the laptop apart quite quickly and was quite impressed with how neatly all the panel joints fit together. They are tight and firm, but easy to work with. The panel screws are even stuck to the panel so they cannot fall off and get lost.
3) Upgradeable SSD. While the ram is soldered to the motherboard, the SSD is an NVME PCIe device in an M.2 slot, so it is easy to upgrade after buying or replace later.
4) It charges quite quickly and seems to have quite decent, though not impressive battery life. Note that the battery life may vary significantly depending on the users operating system.

There are also three downsides that are not a big problem for me personally, but may be important to others.
1) It sometimes heats up quite quickly to the point that the keyboard gets warm. It does not seem to have been a problem yet though and it does not seem to happen predictably.
2) The layout of the keys is quite non-standard, with the Fn and ctrl keys being swapped and the printscreen key close to the arrow keys. Maybe this is normal for ThinkPads, but this is my first one.
3) There is some strange flexibility when twisting the whole keyboard panel. This also does not seem to be a problem, but may be significant for some.

Overall I am very happy with this device and look forward to using it for many years to come.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very good machine, very good keyboard, quite small trackpad, quite low quality of plastic.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new computer if there’s one thing that I don’t like is that occasionally while I’m typing my Icon will jump to another part of the page and start typing somewhere I didn’t ask it to you should fix that outside of that it is a wonderful computer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I bought this I was replacing an older Yoga laptop that had developed a screen flicker.
My previous Yoga had a more rectangular look and it was orange, and I liked both of those things . So far this new Yoga feels very sturdy, is very fast, and came at a great price. I wish it were a bit lighter in weight but perhaps that would lessen how sturdy it feels.
