Hot spots are not visible and everything is within an acceptable range with a maximum of 25.6 ☌ (~78 ☏). The casing's temperature without load is rather inconspicuous. The silver ThinkPad 13 made of aluminum did a considerably better job than our review sample in terms of base and casing lid stability. We would have expected better quality components here. Although the hinges keep the display in place, they cannot prevent it from rocking visibly. Furthermore, pressure from the back produces wave formation on the screen. However, this is deceiving as the plastic lid is easy to twist. Lenovo's homepage only speaks of 12 military tests.Īt a first glance, the thick display lid gives the device a relatively rigid appearance. It should be noted that Lenovo does not specify what this means. According to the specification sheet, Lenovo's ThinkPad 13 (2017) has a MIL-STD-810G certificate. However, quiet cracking noises were audible when we tried to twist the laptop. Warping without damaging the device is hardly possible. The compact laptop is solid but it can be dented visibly in the keyboard area. A magnesium frame that gives more strength to the base has not been incorporated into our review sample. Lenovo's black ThinkPad 13 (2017) is made of PC/ABS plastic. Unlike the silver model that is made of aluminum. The eye-catching details immediately show that this device is a member of the ThinkPad family.
Lenovo's ThinkPad 13 second generation closely follows the looks of its direct predecessor. We have created a short list of the comparison devices’ most important specifications:
However, once more, the Skylake predecessor must also be included in the comparison. We have selected devices from the same price category for this test. The device can be customized according to personal needs in the manufacturer's web shop. The installed CPU differentiates the three basic configurations. The corresponding configuration costs approximately 1230 Euros (~$1329) in Lenovo's online shop at the time of testing (including the operating system). Our review sample is a Campus Special Edition (without an operating system) for 999 Euros (~$1080). The ThinkPad 13 is also available with a multi-touchscreen. The latter is also in our review sample, together with16 GB of working memory and a 512 GB SSD that is connected via PCIe. Lenovo is also offering Intel's Core i5-7200U and the premium Intel's Core i7-7500U as alternative processors.
The FHD (IPS) model is priced at 819 Euros (~$885). However, only an HD panel (TN) is offered here. For this price, the manufacturer has installed Intel's Core i3-7100U and 4 GB of DDR4 RAM. Lenovo's ThinkPad 13 lineup starts very conservatively at 759 Euros (~$820). The trend of the last few years is ongoing and compact devices are becoming increasingly more powerful.
