The Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Yoga Gen 2 (2021) is a highly versatile 13.3-inch 2-in-1 business convertible that combines ultraportable design with serious workstation-grade power, driven by an 11th-gen Intel Core i7-1185G7 vPro processor (4 cores/8 threads, up to 4.8 GHz) paired with a generous 32 GB of soldered LPDDR4x-4266 RAM and a fast 256 GB PCIe-NVMe SSD. Its stunning 13.3-inch WUXGA (1920 × 1200) IPS touchscreen—available in low-power, 300-nit, or PrivacyGuard variants—flips 360° via the signature ThinkPad 360-degree hinges and supports the active Lenovo Pen for precise inking, note-taking, and sketching in tablet mode.
Weighing just 1.2 kg (2.65 lbs) and only 15.95 mm thin in its aerospace-grade magnesium-aluminum chassis, it retains legendary ThinkPad durability (MIL-STD-810H certified) plus the spill-resistant backlit keyboard, TrackPoint, glass clickpad, and ThinkShutter webcam cover that professionals love. Connectivity is future-proof with two Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1, HDMI 2.0, Wi-Fi 6, optional 4G/5G WWAN, and a fingerprint reader + IR camera for Windows Hello. The 52 Wh battery delivers 10–14 hours of real-world productivity, while Rapid Charge tops up 80 % in an hour. Preloaded with Windows 11 Pro and backed by Lenovo’s renowned enterprise support, this maxed-out X13 Yoga Gen 2 remains one of the most capable, repairable, and secure 13-inch convertibles available in 2025—ideal for executives, consultants, and power users who refuse to compromise on performance or portability.
Key Features
360-Degree Convertible Design with Active Pen Support
The X13 Yoga Gen 2 flips seamlessly between laptop, tent, stand, and tablet modes thanks to precision-engineered 360° hinges. It includes a garage-integrated Lenovo Pen (on most configs) that charges inside the chassis, delivering pressure-sensitive inking for OneNote, PDF markup, or digital whiteboarding with zero noticeable lag.
Maxed-Out 32 GB LPDDR4x-4266 RAM and Fast SSD
With 32 GB of dual-channel 4266 MHz soldered RAM—the highest factory option—this configuration handles heavy multitasking, large Excel datasets, multiple virtual machines, Docker containers, and 4K video editing timelines without ever hitting swap. The 256 GB PCIe Gen4 SSD delivers sequential speeds over 5000 MB/s for near-instant wake and app loading.
11th-Gen Intel Core i7 vPro with Thunderbolt 4
The quad-core i7-1185G7 vPro processor boosts to 4.8 GHz and includes enterprise-grade remote management features. Dual Thunderbolt 4 ports support 40 Gbps data, power delivery, and daisy-chaining two 4K displays or one 8K monitor while simultaneously fast-charging the laptop.
Legendary ThinkPad Keyboard and Security Suite
The backlit, spill-resistant keyboard offers 1.5 mm key travel and the classic ThinkPad layout with TrackPoint. Security includes a physical ThinkShutter webcam cover, match-on-chip fingerprint reader, IR camera with human presence detection, dTPM 2.0, and optional PrivacyGuard screen that blurs content from side angles.
MIL-STD-810H Durability in an Ultralight Chassis
At just 1.2 kg and 15.95 mm thin, the magnesium-aluminum body survives drops, shocks, vibration, extreme temperatures, and altitude testing. The reinforced hinges, Gorilla Glass options, and easy-service bottom cover make it one of the most repairable and long-lasting 13-inch convertibles even four years after launch.

FAQs
Can the RAM really not be upgraded beyond 32 GB?
No. The 32 GB LPDDR4x is soldered directly to the motherboard—there are no SO-DIMM slots. This is the absolute maximum this generation supports. If you need more than 32 GB in a 13-inch convertible, you must step up to the newer X13 Yoga Gen 4 (AMD) or Gen 5 (Intel Lunar Lake) models that offer 64 GB options.
Does the touchscreen and pen still work perfectly with Windows 11?
Yes. Full pen and touch functionality is retained on Windows 11 24H2, including pressure sensitivity (4096 levels) and palm rejection. Lenovo continues to release firmware and Intel graphics updates for this model, so inking in OneNote, PDF annotation, and tablet-mode use remain flawless.
