Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 3 review – small laptops are getting seriously powerful
The ThinkPad brand is full of laptops suiting every budget, and every size preference. Today, we have one for the more pretentious users. A laptop, that offers good portability, premium build, and more than adequate performance.
The laptop in question is called the Lenovo Thinkpad X13 Gen 3, and it is exactly what you expect. However, it is interesting to see that the manufacturer is not afraid to use powerful CPUs inside its small chassis.
We are talking about the Intel version, which is offered with up to the Core i7-1280P – a 28W CPU with 6 P-cores and 8 E-cores. As usual, you are given a choice of build materials. Well, your retailers are given a choice, so you can buy whatever is stocked – more on that in a minute.
We are also thrilled to find out, that there are no TN display options for this laptop. Not that we expected one, but you never know what companies can do with their business devices.

You have got to be high if you think I can afford that laptop all I can pay for a computer is 100 dollars no more since I get 100 dollars a month
I don’t understand why laptops are over a hundred dollars when you cant even watch anything free on them Netflix cost money and Hulu you have to be rich these days to even get a computer
