[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Think Pad is a perfect size for what I need, might but small. I'm using it mostly for editing of pictures I've been taking as well as reading books, some games and streaming. It was easy to set up and had been easy to use for all my needs. It was actually a gift for my 62 birthday, and while I'm far from tech savy, it has been easy, I did not, and continue to not find myself getting overwhelmed with the use. I do recommend this unit to people such as myself who might find themselves not the most tech savy, but my son's computer had an issue and he's been using it and he seems very happy with the speed and features I have yet to, and may never to be honest, use. So this unit is good for all, and for the money there isn't a bet one to be found.
Got the laptop, Webcam and Bluetooth don't work. Tried updating drivers, nothing.

Medicore and incompatible

This ThinkPad is mediocre in almost every way except two.
-The screen is OK, but contrast ratios and brightness are just adequate.
-The "10th generation cpu" is really a Comet Lake Chip which uses 9th generation lithography, 9th generation microcode, and 9th generation graphics. In other words, only Intel marketing think this is a true 10th generation like Ice Lake. Translation: this is one of the slower CPU performances and iGPU graphics are horrible.
-Sound is adequte but not class leading
-Webcam is adequate but not class leading
-battery life is on the low end of adequate
-Build quality is adequate with a metal lid and plastic body. The lid is an absolute fingerprint magnet.
-No Thunderbolt 3 ports
-RAM is no longer upgradeable
-Webcam privacy switch is nice, but feels cheap and flimsy
-Trackpad is adequate
-Bezels at the top and bottom of the screen are large (the bottom bezel is huge)
In fact, in only 2 ways is this laptop is better than the rest. The keyboard is really good and the garaged stylus is awesome. That's it.
Unfortunately, Lenovo ThinkPads and Microsoft Windows 2004 (May 2020 and August 2020 editions) do not get along, so as of this writing in Nov 2020, the most recent version of Windows installed by Windows update is v1909 from Nov 2019 OVER A YEAR AGO.
So if you want a completely mediocre device with outdated processor that has a nice keyboard and garaged stylus but won't get Windows updates, you will probalby enjoy this ThinkPad. For literally everyone else please consider another model.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ThinkPad L13 is sleek, compact, and is a very versatile laptop with several types of ports on both base level and upgraded models. When upgraded, it can compete and beat out even the most premium laptops. Incredible performance at a good price. There are only a couple of main downsides: the chassis and the speakers. Downfiring speakers don’t compare to those that fire towards the user, but they are good enough for most people. The lid/screen is built well, being mostly made of metal, but the rest of the laptop is a flexible plastic. While durable, the flex doesn’t feel very premium, especially for those who purchased a top-of-the-line version.

Messed up usb c port
on September 24, 2020
Posted by: Ex Lenovo buyer
We used the predecessor of the L13 laptop in a product from us (the L390). We used a cheap hub with integrated ethernet, worked like a charm. The Lenovo changed the port and forces you to buy this crappy extension, even though (or because) it worked fine with a 7€ hub. I would even be fine with that, but now the L13 is designed so badly that you can not use the usb c port if this abomination is plugged in.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
