This X13 is certainly of no exception. It comes with WD SN730, pretty much the OEM version of the well regarded SN750. The read and write is fast. More importantly, the write speed is very consistent from an empty to a full drive, something most other NVME SSDs cannot claim.I give only 4 stars mainly because of the screen. I have the 500 nit with privacy screen. Even with privacy screen it certainly does not look like 500 nit. To my untrained eyes, brightness wise it looks like the 250 nit screen in my X1 Carbon Gen 6. The viewing angel is also more limited compared to typical IPS panels. If you view from the side, it looks dark. Perhaps Lenovo can come up with better implementation for the privacy screen function.

I have used Thinkpads off an on since 1999 and exclusively for the past decade. I don't know if my machine is a lemon or this is a bad build, but this is the first Thinkpad that I have owned that I would not recommend.I received this computer around 5 months ago and it is currently at the Depot for repairs for the second time. The first time, it went to sleep and would not respond, with only the charging light functioning. I worked with the support team and the turnaround was very quick.

I sent the machine in a week ago and am still waiting for a response.When the machine is functioning, its performance is adequate but notably slower than on my Gen 5 Carbon X1 when working with moderately sized spreadsheets. (I don't do heavy computing or data analysis on this machine.) The battery life is around 65% of the X1's current battery life, with four years of heavy usage on the machine. The form is nice and the build seems to be durable. The keyboard has a different feel to it than the X1 or other Thinkpads that I have used in the past, but this is not at all problematic. I appreciate the facial recognition/presence detection feature.

I'm keeping it. If anything, I like the keyboard better than my Lenovo X230. The screen (IPS, 500 nits) is bright and clear. I'm not a graphics designer so the color rendering is more than good enough for me. It stays cool during my use, which does not include gaming. I mainly do web browsing, streaming, writing, Anki review, spotify, etc. I went with the high end model (6850) because RAM and storage are not upgradeable and I wanted 32G and 2TB. The 6650 would have been enough, but no custom builds yet. I think it needs one more USB port, but I have a hub for speakers and my backup drive.Having nothing really to do with Lenovo, migrating was a bit of a pain. I prefer no Microsoft store account, but doesn't look like that was an option for Win11. Now for the ... MoreI'm keeping it. If anything, I like the keyboard better than my Lenovo X230.

I hope this isn't a lemon.Not having to do with Lenovo at all, my Brother L2340DW printer keeps generating a Windows error log entry that it went to sleep. No kidding, I might print 5 pages a week.

I wouldn't use it to draw an exquisite art piece, but it is great for productivity focused markups and even some quick artworkI wish Lenovo would sell this config with Ubuntu directly so we could save another $100-200 over the Windows tax, but for now this is the best Ubuntu 22.04 lightweight 2in1 I could find! (Lenovo the X13 gen4 Yoga needs an **AMD option* and/or make the Z16 gen 2 have a yoga option please!)* Dolby doesn't support Linux so no Atmos sound, but I don't mind too much (speaker has less max volume due to this, but could easily recreate with an EQ setting).* The IR camera for Windows Hello runs in linux, but Linux has no IR biometrics so don't expect to login with that.
The unit feels solid and works as advertised. Installed with Win 11 PRO and all the transferred applications from the Surfacebook (Win 10 PRO) runs without a problem although some re-configuration was required. The AMD RYZEN 5 is using less than 10% CPU and 70% of the installed 16GB memory whereas the older i5 CPU at 80% with 8GB memory. The fan runs quietly and is barely audible but the fingerprint reader on the power switch is not as forgiving, and after a couple of failed reads, it requires PIN signon. The Dolby audio speaker system sitting above the keyboard produces a good sound for such a small footprint. The privacy shutter comes in handy for a quick video shutoff. Like other Thinkpads, the keyboard and trackpoint are precise and not requiring heavy touch. ... MoreThe unit feels solid and works as advertised.

I have owned many laptops but the Lenovo laptops I currently have are the P2, X1 Carbon Gen 7, and now the X1 Nano.The Good: I like a lot of desktop realestate and enjoy the new 2K screen; at small sizes 4K screens end up needing to be scaled thus wasting energy and losing some of the crispness when rendering text. The performance is blistering, the battery is very good, the charging is quick, the facial recognition and fingerprint unlock works quickly and consistently, and the build quality is great! Although I absolutely love this machine, if I only had one, I would choose an X1 Carbon because of the better ports and better keyboard.The OK: It does seem to run a little bit hotter than the X1 Carbon, but I don't have another with an 11th gen Intel processor, so ... MoreI have owned many laptops but the Lenovo laptops I currently have are the P2, X1 Carbon Gen 7, and now the X1 Nano.The Good: I like a lot of desktop realestate and enjoy the new 2K screen; at small sizes 4K screens end up needing to be scaled thus wasting energy and losing some of the crispness when rendering text.

The keyboard feels very crisp for how shallow it is but I wouldn't consider it excellent, but it is better than any machine that I have used of its size.The Bad: Port selection is very meager and not having a USB A means that you always need to have a dongle with you.Should you buy it?: I bought the machine knowing already knowing the good, the ok and the bad and I absolutely love this machine. That being said, if I could only have one laptop, I would choose an X1 Carbon (unless I needed more power) because of the better ports and a world-class keyboard. I currently own 7 laptops, so I can chose them based on different circumstances and workflows that I am working on. If you really have to have the smallest machine that you can comfortably type on, has an excellent scree, good runtime, and excellent performance, go for the Nano!
This is a weird review. I assume this is a request to review the first nano and not the second. I ended up returning it, but not because it was bad. The laptop was fantastic, light weight, keyboard was as good as I expected. The worst thing is the limited I/O (which I knew and was okay with when I bought it) and the fact that the coating is a fingerprint magnet. Aside from that, great display, great keyboard, great weight. The battery was weird, kept saying I had about 3 hours left but that would last with 9 hours of typing and web surfing.Why did I return it? Two reasons. 1) It had a start up beep code. The code doesn't match anything on record, but generally the length of the beeps means there's a RAM issue. I never had any issues in my week of ownership aside ... MoreThis is a weird review.

The code doesn't match anything on record, but generally the length of the beeps means there's a RAM issue. I never had any issues in my week of ownership aside from the warning, and diagnostics said there was no issue, but I wasn't going to take a chance and was looking to initiate a warranty claim when the second reason changed my mind. 2) the laptop went on sale and could be priced matched. After talking to the rep online they recommended I just return it and buy the sale price laptop again as it would be easier than getting a price match for the sale and initiating a warranty claim.I didn't over heat the device, and if anything the minimal fan operation and low temps on "better battery" mode was a fantastic aspect of the laptop.All in all, I got a lemon that wasn't even showing operational issues, and was so happy with the device over all that I bought it again. About 20% of all laptops from all manufacturers have some quality control issues according to a 2009 report from squaretrade.com, so I assume I was just either unlucky, or they haven't updated their list of newer beep error codes and I assumed the worst for just a minor issues. Though this is a gen 1 laptop, so keep that in mind when purchasing.
The X1 Nano is so close to being the perfect travel laptop! It packs a huge number of quality components and great features while being incredibly compact. Even next to the original X1, the Nano is really small yet it delivers almost everything its less small sibling does.The new display is a marvel to look at. It provides highly improved color accuracy, much better contrast and the anti-glare coating makes it readable anywhere. The taller 16:10 aspect-ratio is a welcome change that compensates for the smaller 13" diagonal and makes working more comfortable.The backlit keyboard is excellent and maintains comfortably-sized keys. Having the Track-Point with 3 mechanical buttons, like on most but not all other ThinkPads, is really good for efficient users.

Having the Track-Point with 3 mechanical buttons, like on most but not all other ThinkPads, is really good for efficient users. Note that I cannot comment on the Trackpad since those are not my preference.It is nice to have good sound and webcam and microphone combination that playback and record in high quality. The builtin privacy shutter is good for peace-of-mind and the fingerprint reader on the X1 Nano is accurate and responds quickly. Since I keep the shutter closed most of the time, I do not use the camera to login and don't know if it is as performing.The ThinPad X1 Nano shows very good performance for an ultra-book. Its builtin graphics is sufficiently good for general usage and allows the screen to update quickly.There is truly one thing that makes the X1 Nano narrowly miss being perfect and that is the port situation. There are only 2 ports on this laptop, both right next to each other on the left side. Since one is used to charge, there is truly only one free port that can be depended on. It also means that power outlets inconvenient when they come from the right. Both ports are USB-C which is a good modern option but since the only USB-C hub has only USB-A ports, it is hard to use both types of devices, including almost anything that requires a dongle, since those are nearly always USB-A. It would have been much better if there were a USB-C port on each side and one USB-A port, somewhere. Since the charging block is USB-C, it could sport an Ethernet port which would have been icing on the cake! Still, there is currently no better lightweight laptop.
I bought this when it first became available. There were some initial issues where it would power itself off at night, all resolved by firmware updates. Then, I encountered a situation where it would not boot after patching, almost certainly caused by a Microsoft update. I ended up having to do a restore to factory settings. So, make sure you have a restore usb and take backups. I am definitely not a fan of Windows 11 and I don't blame Lenovo for this. You'll probably want a hub, the ports are limited.The PC is incredibly fast, cool and quiet. The keyboard is Lenovo quality, the best, and the reason I won't buy anything else. I bought the fully loaded 2TB, 32M, 6850U. This is my retirement present for myself, replacing my X230 which is still going after 8 years.
My purchase which I am in the process of returning is this x13 gen 2 ryzen 7 8or16gbram, 512 hard drive. Pros: sleek design, light weight, love the camera cover for privacy and the fingerprint access reader is super cool on a laptop. Cons: the webcam has worse quality than my 7 year old MacBook, (come on 7 years ago this webcam wasn’t good... why is it in your product!?), the quality of the screen when streaming videos is terrible and also because of the dimensions everything you watch will be cut down even further on the already small 13.3” screen since most videos are max 1080 dimension not 1200 so there are bands across the top and bottom. I tested to see what this laptop could handle when playing a heavy program like a video game and the graphics were at times ... MoreMy purchase which I am in the process of returning is this x13 gen 2 ryzen 7 8or16gbram, 512 hard drive.

I tested to see what this laptop could handle when playing a heavy program like a video game and the graphics were at times mildly glitchy, but playable (not that I’m a gamer, just needed something to test it with). For me it’s the basics that are a necessity, a decent webcam, and I would probably need to purchase a larger laptop for my own use so for sure I’m returning this because I personally can’t substantiate paying this much when it’s missing little necessities, I don’t want to carry an external webcam around, the camera is truly that horrid. Also this being my first thinkpad experience, I’m not keen on the fn button replacing the ctrl button in the left hand lower corner, that’s where it is typically on a Mac, but not pc... it is annoying as someone who uses the ctrl button a lot to copy paste select all, its a waste of time to have to retrain my brain.. even at this sale price $1400 (reg 2800+), I can’t substantiate keeping it which is unfortunate cause I really want a Thinkpad for their durability and security features. Oh another con, even with cleanest hands possible, oils will transfer to the trackpad ( PRO: the trackpad is lovely and soft). I wish this laptop came as a 14 or 15”, same body, better webcam, better monitor (my crappy dell laptops monitor is way better!- that being said, I never will buy dell again so no that’s not a promotion, DO NOT BUY DELL PRODUCTS THEY ARE FAULTY AND WILL STILL SELL THEM TO YOU!! The monitor was the only good thing about my dell that was so slow reg$1k i5intel, so no bueno, don’t buy dell!), the normal pc keyboard (put the ctrl where it belongs!). if you don’t care about the cons I listed, this laptop is cool and I would recommend it, I love the plug design for charging, rather than the typical charging plugs this design is really nice for a smaller laptop, very comfortable on your lap as a “laptop” would imply but rarely lives up to. I believe there’s also a cooling function if it gets too hot, so that’s impressive but don’t quote me I was working on my MacBook Pro as well at the same time I was figuring out if this laptop is a keeper for my needs.. so look it up to confirm, don’t just take my word for it. Hope this helps!
