Lenovo is strengthening its yoga business notebooks, especially the 13.3-inch ThinkPad L13 Gen 2 and the ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 2, with AMD Ryzen 5000 Mobile processors.

Announced on Wednesday as part of the virtual MWC (usually live in Barcelona, ​​Spain), both ThinkPad L13s are essentially the same laptops, but with one major difference: the Yoga is a 360-degree convertible and the ThinkPad L13 is a traditional clamshell laptop. This translates into slightly less battery life for the Yoga model: 10.6 hours versus 10.8 hours for its clamshell cousin, Lenovo said.

However, the addition of AMD’s Ryzen 5000 Mobile processors is a first for the ThinkPad L13 range and comes down specifically to customer requests, Lenovo said. (Lenovo specifically uses the AMD Ryzen 5000 Pro series of processors, which have more enterprise security and management features.) Executives also found that the additional AMD processors provide 20 percent longer battery life than a similar laptop with an Intel Core chip.

Lenovo’s ThinkPad L13 Gen 2 clamshell notebook includes the latest AMD Ryzen 5000 Pro microprocessors.

Well-known Lenovo ThinkPad features are used, including the ThinkShield security lock that you can slide with a fingertip to cover the webcam. The webcam is optionally Windows Hello certified, and there is also a match-on-chip fingerprint reader option.

The Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga contains the integrated pen that docks in its charging compartment on the side of the laptop. Both the L13 and L13 Yoga have been tested and approved according to the MIL-STD 810H specification.

According to Lenovo, the ThinkPad L13 Gen 2 will cost from $ 799 when it ships in August. The ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 2 will also ship in August at a starting price of $ 999. We’ve included what we know about the specs below.
