Fortunately I haven't had any issues with the gen 2 version i have with the ryzen 7 pro. The aluminum chassis is a nice touch. Still get compliments & people asking questions on what laptop i use whenever i take it out.
I am a user of x13 gen3 amd. Overall, what I like about ThinkPad is that although it doesn't have any advantages in terms of screen, cost-effectiveness, weight, performance and other aspects, it is really durable. Moreover, its keyboard is the best among all the laptops I have used. However, I want to mention that the keyboard on AMD processor laptops is very poor. I just bought and replaced it with an Intel version of the keyboard myself. Their difference is not only backlighting.
@@tamasveingartner4976 Besides the keyboard, for example, my current x13 gen3 laptop with an AMD core processor does not come with pre-installed 4G/5G antennas or a SIM card slot. This means that it is difficult for users to upgrade and use 4G communication without damaging the shell. Additionally, my laptop has a noticeable electric current sound when running at low loads (
@@cyberwang5392 Lenovo use several different manufacturers for keyboards across their range. They feel very slightly different to each other despite in theory being the same. However, as far as we know Lenovo don't make a different keyboard for AMD laptops. It is just luck which manufacturer you get with any Thinkpad. However there is a difference in feel between backlit and non-backlit keyboards. The non-backlit generally feels a little better and the key surface feels slightly different (more texture). As for avoiding AMD CPU's, the opposite is actually true and I think your local repair shop is slightly out of date. Generally speaking the AMD CPU's are preferred now over Intel. This was not always the case. But for the last two generations (4750u, 6850u, etc) the AMD chips have have more cores and run far more efficiently resulting in better battery life and cooler running (so the fan is quieter). The Intel equivalent chips for Intel Gen 10 onwards seem to be a hot inefficient mess in comparison. Yes drivers are probably slightly better on the Intel side (possibly what your repairer may have been referring to). But they run hot due to using more power, resulting in poorer battery life and louder fans. Intel is still preferable when single core speed is important (making them feel a little 'snappier'), or when Thunderbolt is a must. But modern AMD is preferable when wanting more cores, better battery life, cooler and quieter operation and a much faster integrated GPU. I currently have an Intel based Thinkpad but will be going for AMD on my next one if it is an option on the machine I want. If you ask on the Thjnkpad subreddit r/thinkpad then you will get similar viewpoints. Your repairer probably does see a higher number of issues across all laptops which have AMD CPU's. This is because traditionally AMD has been the budget option. So a laptop with AMD has other cheaper components simply because that laptop was targeted at a lower price point. In the case of Thinkpads this isn't the case. Apart from the X1 series (see below) AMD and Intel CPU's are equal peers. The other components should be just as high quality. Interestingly in my region (the UK) used AMD Thinkpads sell for a higher price than used Intel laptops despite their new price being the other way round. Part of the reason people assume the Intel CPU's are better is marketing. For example Lenovo's top of the range X1 series only come with Intel. I don't know for certain but I suspect this is a marketing demand from Intel for supplying their processors. To get around this Lenovo started the Z range of Thinkpads. They are just as good as the X1's but different enough that Lenovo avoid compromising the Intel only X1 lineup. the 4G/5G/SIM and antennas are optional across the range so whether your machine has them is down to whether you specified it at purchase. Both AMD and Intel offer this option.
About the AMD vs Intel: I wondered whether AMD laptops in general offer native Thunderbolt 4 support? I thought they do not, that's why I usually choose Intel CPU in my laptops. Am I correct in this?
I was actually waiting for someone to upload Lenovo X13, and there you go...
Yeah a hands-on review would be great.
Finally some video about this laptop. I'd like to see your review
Waoow, I think I already love this laptop.
Can't wait to see your long-term review

what is he difference? Shouldn't be any, theoritically.

Any update on your experience on using this model sir?
plus, never ever buy the privicy guard display. it´s really bad. Worst IPS i´ve ever seen in a thinkpad
Great video.
What are the differences between X13 and X1 Nano ?
X1 nano is 13 inch so a bit smaller screen. Also x1 nano is made of magnisium chassis with carbon fiber top.
@@user-pc5dk7gp4b X13 is also made of magnesium and carbon.
I think that Asus laptops are legit contenders in this comparison as well.

Yes
Which is the powerfiul sir the rtx or the iris graphic of this laptop?
Thick... Too thick.
A person doing such a "one-handed review" just doesn't respect himself and his viewers. That's all. Do not have some proper gear? Don't do "reviews".
You are so cringe 🤣 holy shit lol.
