Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 3 – Top 5 Pros and Cons
Here is a tiny business device that carries the necessities that you would need, inducing security, stability, and performance. The ThinkBook L13 Yoga Gen 3 also implements a 360-degree hinge and a 16:10 display.
Hardware-wise, the laptop comes with U-series CPUs, which should mean good efficiency and long battery life. However, the laptop arrives with Windows 10, which doesn’t have the improved scheduler that divides tasks between the P-cores and E-cores.
With that said, here are LaptopMedia’s top 5 picks about the Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 3.
Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 3: Full Specs / In-depth Review
3 reasons to BUY the Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 3
1. Security
The device comes with an optional FHD webcam, while an IR face recognition sensor and a privacy shutter come as standard. The base has a fingerprint reader, while you can get an optional SmartCard reader. All of these up the security, since you would have to go through many layers of authentication.
2. I/O
The port selection includes a Thunderbolt 4 port, a USB Type-C 3.2 (Gen. 2) port, two USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1) ports, an HDMI 2.0 port, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a SIMcard tray.
3. Display quality
Our laptop comes with a FHD+ IPS panel that offers comfortable viewing angles, a max brightness of 294 nits, 99% sRGB coverage, and accurate colors using our Design and Gaming profile.

Here is our test with both the stock settings (left) and with our profile applied (right).

A hatékony és egészségbarát profilok mellett a LaptopMedia termékeinek megvásárlásával laboratóriumaink fejlesztését is támogatja, ahol eszközöket tesztelünk a lehető legobjektívebb értékelések elkészítése érdekében.

Irodai Munka
Az Irodai Munka profilt elsősorban azoknak a felhasználóknak ajánljuk, akik idejük nagy részét szövegek, táblázatok nézegetésével vagy böngészéssel töltik. Ez a profil jobb megkülönböztethetőséget és tisztaságot biztosít egyenletes gamma-görbe (2.20), natív színhőmérséklet és érzékelhetően pontos színek mellett.

Dizájn és Játék
Ez a profil a színekkel hivatásszerűen dolgozó tervezőknek, valamint játékokhoz és filmekhez készült. A Dizájn és Játék a kijelzőpaneleket a határaikra juttatja, a lehető legpontosabbá téve őket az sRGB IEC61966-2-1 szabvány szerint a webre és a HDTV-re, D65 fehérpont mellett.

Health-Guard
A Health-Guard kiküszöböli a káros impulzusszélesség-modulációt (PWM) és csökkenti a negatív kék fényt, amely hatással van a szemünkre és a testünkre. Mivel minden panelhez egyedileg van szabva, a színeket érzékelhetően pontosan tartja. A Health-Guard a papírt szimulálja, így a szemre nehezedő nyomás jelentősen csökken.

2 reasons NOT to buy the Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 3
1. Upgradeability
The upgradeability is lacking, which is common with 13-inch devices. There is up to 32GB of soldered DDR4 RAM that works at 3200MHz. Storage-wise, there is a single M.2 slot that fits Gen 4 NVMe SSDs, however, you have to get the smaller 42mm drives.
Here is our detailed teardown video, which shows how to access the insides for an upgrade, along with the cooling for cleanup and maintenance.
2. Cooling
The cooling setup consists of only one heat pipe, one fan, and a heat skink.
Max CPU load
| Intel Core i5-1235U (15W TDP) | 0:02 – 0:10 sec | 0:15 – 0:30 sec | 10:00 – 15:00 min |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 3 | 1.88 GHz @ 1.97 GHz @ 61°C @ 20W | 1.86 GHz @ 1.96 GHz @ 68°C @ 20W | 2.20 GHz @ 2.20 GHz @ 88°C @ 25W |
The laptop has poor thermal management, as the laptop barely goes above 2.00GHz in the first seconds of our stress test. Both the P-cores and E-cores keep a temperature of 2.20GHz, but heat up significantly, maxing out at 88°C.
Comfort during full load
The base of the laptop gets hot, reaching 50°C. The bottom panel gets hot as well, so you might not want to keep the laptop in your lap at all.
