Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 Gen 1 Review (13.3" AMD 6850U Premium Ultrabook)

[@Paparollo212]

been looking for reviews all around for this laptop, this the best one yet! got a good look and feel for the laptop without too much clipping

I am thinking about buying this laptop and this is, by far, the best review I have seen.

Currently on sale for £750! Definitely thinking about picking this up. Thanks for the excellent review

Great laptop. The Z13 Gen 2 is about to come out hence the bargain price.

​​@@DovecomputersMy main concern is the hit the battery life takes from the OLED version. There's an IPS screen version that's £100 cheaper but it only has the Ryzen 5 chip... I'm torn! Do you think the drop to Ryzen 5 is worth it for the increased battery life? Apologies for the questions 😅

[@Dovecomputers]

OLED will take a hit on battery life if that matters. If it doesn't, OLED is a great display. Also look at the Yoga Slim 7 Pro X. 👍

Why 135 degree is a downside? Since 30 Years i never opend a Laptop more during desk or Lap top work.

How does it compare with X1 Carbon Gen 10 & X1 Nano Gen 2

[@BimmerFix]

How do you tell which version has OLED and which one has IPS? Looking on eBay for some listings but can't tell the difference.

Great Review! Think I'm going to check it out.

[@Dovecomputers]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

[@moto-rambler]

Thx for the review. The soldered ram and wifi card, and the SSD limitation means this laptop is an easy no-go for me.

[@TheAgentAssassin]

it's 13inch laptop Is it too small too? Too portable and not powerful to run Cyberpunk at 100 fps?

[@arkamiqbal3221]

This panel doesn't look like an OLED panel, the blacks looks like grey similar to an IPS panel.

[@Dovecomputers]

Difficult to show through a camera lens, but the WQXGA+ panel is only in OLED.

Trackpad on this thing is horrible. The unit in my Z13 was manufactured by ELAN, not Sensel, which felt like bait and switch on Lenovo's part. Sent it back because of just how bad the cut-rate ELAN trackpad was.

[@Dovecomputers]

Noticed a general trend with the ThinkPad touchpads as well, where the build quality is suspect.
