Lenovo ThinkPad 13 Chromebook review

The Chromebook version of the ThinkPad 13 cuts too much in pursuit of its low price.

The Windows version of the ThinkPad 13 is a solid machine that doesn’t excel in any one area, leaving it in the middle of the pack. The Chromebook version shares most of its DNA, and what’s taken away in terms of hardware and software flexibility is...

A Chromebook laptop with a comfy keyboard and long-lasting battery to get you through the school or work day

The famously buttoned-down ThinkPad brand trades its no-nonsense vibe for a less-expensive Chrome OS version.

The Lenovo ThinkPad 13 has a comfortable and responsive keyboard, battery life that'll last a work day and an adjustable screen with sturdy 180-degree hinges.

Audio is muffled thanks to poor speaker placement, the display doesn't pop, and the keyboard isn't backlit. Chrome OS has limited software options.

This Lenovo ThinkPad 13 takes a lot of the design and quality we like the ThinkPad brand for, and transforms it into a more casual Chromebook, ideal for schoolwork and writing.

Lenovo ThinkPad 13 Chromebook

The Lenovo ThinkPad 13 Chromebook is a powerful Chrome-OS laptop with military-spec durability, but there are plenty of less expensive, high-performing alternatives.

Sturdy construction. Processor and memory promote speedy performance. Full HD IPS display. Dual-band 802.11ac wireless.

Very expensive for a chromebook. No touch screen. Non-convertible.

Conclusion As far as chromebooks go, the Lenovo ThinkPad 13 is a solid performer on every level, but it simply costs too much for a Chrome-based laptop. That's a big problem considering that affordability is one of the main reasons to buy a chromebook....

Lenovo ThinkPad 13 Chromebook Review

The Lenovo ThinkPad 13 Chromebook's comfortable keyboard and long-lasting battery make a great work machine, but the display isn't vivid.

Two USB Type-C ports; Great keyboard; Long Battery Life

Lousy display; No TrackPoint; Not as durable as competition

Lenovo ThinkPad 13 Chromebook Notebook Review

Practical and affordable? A couple of months ago, we evaluated Lenovo's entry-level ThinkPad 13, which we found to be a good value overall. Today, we turn our sights to the Chromebook counterpart. Is it a viable alternative to the world of Windows?

great build quality, excellent input devices, long battery runtimes, above-average display for a Chromebook, reasonably priced upgrade, fast CPU and plenty of memory

as configured, comparable in price to its superior Windows-based counterpart, sluggish eMMC storage in lieu of SSD, restrictive maintenance and upgrades, Chrome OS limitations will be hard to swallow for many business professionals

Lenovo’s new ThinkPad 13 Chromebook has most of the fundamental benefits of a ThinkPad going for it. It’s practically designed, features a durable yet ergonomic case, boasts terrific input devices, and manages excellent battery runtimes. It’s also...

Lenovo ThinkPad 13 Chromebook review: Plenty of power for a Chromebook

Lenovo has provided a Chromebook with a 13 inch display that can catch anyone's eye whether you're looking for a new laptop for business or school.

The display is enough for those that don't need much. Sound quality is awesome. Performance was more than enough to keep me happy

Material used for the Chromebook had an issue with picking up oils from my hands and fingers and was too noticeable and a little annoying. Camera was ok, but not the best
