日本Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 3 review – small laptops are getting seriously powerful
Temperatures and comfort, Battery Life
Max CPU load
In this test we use 100% on the CPU cores, monitoring their frequencies and chip temperature. The first column shows a computer’s reaction to a short load (2-10 seconds), the second column simulates a serious task (between 15 and 30 seconds), and the third column is a good indicator of how good the laptop is for long loads such as video rendering.
Average P-core frequency; Average E-core frequency; CPU temp.; Package Power
| Intel Core i7-1260P (28W TDP) | 0:02 – 0:10 sec | 0:15 – 0:30 sec | 10:00 – 15:00 min |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 3 | 2.92 GHz @ 2.40 GHz @ 69°C @ 49W | 2.84 GHz @ 2.36 GHz @ 87°C @ 47W | 1.69 GHz @ 1.52 GHz @ 69°C @ 22W |
| Acer Swift 5 (SF514-56T) | 3.23 GHz @ 2.58 GHz @ 82°C @ 61W | 2.35 GHz @ 1.90 GHz @ 86°C @ 42W | 2.27 GHz @ 1.73 GHz @ 72°C @ 30W |
| Dell XPS 13 Plus 9320 | 2.88 GHz @ 2.39 GHz @ 78°C @ 47W | 2.76 GHz @ 2.33 GHz @ 94°C @ 44W | 2.08 GHz @ 1.67 GHz @ 82°C @ 28W |
| Dell Vostro 16 5620 | 2.55 GHz @ 2.14 GHz @ 73°C @ 41W | 2.54 GHz @ 2.12 GHz @ 82°C @ 40W | 1.97 GHz @ 1.61 GHz @ 74°C @ 28W |
| Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 1 | 2.66 GHz @ 2.29 GHz @ 72°C @ 47W | 1.21 GHz @ 1.53 GHz @ 63°C @ 20W | 1.26 GHz @ 1.54 GHz @ 64°C @ 20W |
Despite its size, the ThinkPad X13 Gen 3 runs at quite high frequencies in short loads. During the long ones, however, we monitored a drastic decrease in clock speeds. This also helped lower the temperature.
Comfort during full load
It’s good to know that the laptop remains pretty quiet even under extreme workload conditions. However, the maximum temperature of the keyboard is about 44°C, which is on the warm side.
Battery
Now, we conduct the battery tests with the Windows Better performance setting turned on, screen brightness adjusted to 120 nits and all other programs turned off except for the one we are testing the notebook with. This device’s 54.7Wh battery pack lasts for 10 hours and 20 minutes of Web browsing, or 7 hours and 32 minutes of video playback.
In order to simulate real-life conditions, we used our own script for automatic web browsing through over 70 websites.
For every test like this, we use the same video in HD.
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
