ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 2 AMD Review (Ryzen 7 5850U)

[@GreenGreenStore]

Note: we've shown the performance vs other 2021 AMD ThinkPads - to give a good overall sense. Overall quite impressed. To nitpick: did not include the TDP / power deep dive due to the unit crashing frequently in the synthetic stress tests (so would been inconclusive; maybe a future BIOS is needed; may be useful to consider the Ryzen 5 model unless you need that Ryzen 7). Thermals won't really affect the real world usage, unless you do very heavy workload. Webcam was comparable to the other T series from this gen (hence didn't go into it again).

Hello, great review here but have you tested what the actual CPU temperatures are under load? ( I'm looking to buy this laptop and would love to know that before I commit, because I am very picky about that particular metric) Thanks!

I have watched your p14s reviews rigourously and now I am hooked. Nice style and pace I think, thank you for your efforts.

[@GreenGreenStore]

Thanks for the warm comment. 👍🙂

Seems that it will be reasonably priced and made for small/medium everyday business loads for customers who don't want to shell out the heavier fees on the more premium lines

[@GreenGreenStore]

Yes. Generally seems to be decent value.

Appreciated.

Could it be that lenovo applied a factory undervolt and that's causing the instability/crashes?

[@GreenGreenStore]

Not sure. When reviewing, we try to run everything stock. Hopefully just a firmware update or similar could fix.
