A review of the Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 Gen 1 premium ultrabook (AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U, 13.3" 2.8K WQXGA+ OLED (2880 x 1800), 16GB DDR5, 512GB PCIe Gen4x4, AMD Radeon 680M GPU)
A few years back, Dell and HP introduced their XPS and Spectre range to carve out a new market for premium, thin and light ultraportables to a new crowd. Lenovo have finally gatecrashed this party with the Z13 and it’s bigger brother, the Z16. Offering premium styling, recycled materials, AMD Ryzen 6000 performance and a new haptic touchpad design. Is it style over substance? Let’s find out.

Great laptop. The Z13 Gen 2 is about to come out hence the bargain price.

@@DovecomputersMy main concern is the hit the battery life takes from the OLED version. There's an IPS screen version that's £100 cheaper but it only has the Ryzen 5 chip... I'm torn! Do you think the drop to Ryzen 5 is worth it for the increased battery life? Apologies for the questions 😅

OLED will take a hit on battery life if that matters. If it doesn't, OLED is a great display. Also look at the Yoga Slim 7 Pro X. 👍

How does it compare with X1 Carbon Gen 10 & X1 Nano Gen 2

Why 135 degree is a downside? Since 30 Years i never opend a Laptop more during desk or Lap top work.

Thx for the review. The soldered ram and wifi card, and the SSD limitation means this laptop is an easy no-go for me.

it's 13inch laptop Is it too small too? Too portable and not powerful to run Cyberpunk at 100 fps?

This panel doesn't look like an OLED panel, the blacks looks like grey similar to an IPS panel.

@Dovecomputers Жыл бұрын

Difficult to show through a camera lens, but the WQXGA+ panel is only in OLED.

Trackpad on this thing is horrible. The unit in my Z13 was manufactured by ELAN, not Sensel, which felt like bait and switch on Lenovo's part. Sent it back because of just how bad the cut-rate ELAN trackpad was.

Noticed a general trend with the ThinkPad touchpads as well, where the build quality is suspect.
