Lenovo launches ThinkPad X13 and X13 Yoga laptops with Intel Tiger Lake or AMD Ryzen 5000 chips

Lenovo is refreshing its ThinkPad laptop lineup with a bunch of new models powered by a choice of 11th-gen Intel Core “Tiger Lake” or AMD Ryzen 5000 processors.

If you’re in the market for a fairly compact model, the new lineup includes the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 series notebooks with 13.3 inch displays and thin and light designs.

Lenovo will offer three different versions of the laptop, all of which should be available with a choice of 13.3 inch displays with 16:10 aspect ratios and a choice of 1920 x 1200 pixel or 2560 x 1600 pixel display panels:

• Lenovo ThinkPad X13 i Gen 2 with Intel Tiger Lake coming in March for $1299 and up
• Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga Gen 2 with Intel Tiger Lake coming in April for $1379 and up
• Lenovo ThinkPad X13 with AMD Ryzen 5000 coming in May for $1139 and up

Lenovo has only provided detailed specs for the Intel models so far, which makes sense since they’re expected to hit the streets earlier.
