x13 is great. personally, I love it more than X1 yoga.

X13 gen 2 actually is pretty good as well, with 16:10 screen already. so if you can grab a gen 2 deal with decent cpu/memory options, don't hesitate.

btw ,for gen 2, full HD camera is optional. and, btw 2, FHD webcam don't really work much better than 720p as expected. best webcam is sitll an external one.

6850U version is almost twice as expensive -- comes with 32GB of RAM and 2TB of storage (which I am not sure who will use that much). What a shame

About 6-8hrs , I've been using the 6850u model for 2 weeks and will be sending it back.
My T14 Gen2 And Ryzen5 keyboard just feels less cramped than the X13 and the 1920x1200 in 13" doesn't seem to be any different than 14" @1080p Custom Scaling 110

$965 is not expensive for a laptop that has
  • 6650U CPU
  • 16GB RAM
  • Windows 11 Pro
  • Spill-resistant keyboard
  • 2.62lb weight
  • USB 4 Type-C port
  • Good build quality
  • 1-year onsite warranty
(Try find another laptop with these features at this price point.)

If you only need a laptop for web and emails, why not get a $300 Chromebook? It would serve you well.

No, it is not. But it is capable of very light gaming

Yes it is. You can spend $500 on a browsing laptop.

Serious question: this versus the Thinkbook with the 6800U for $834. I owned several Thinkpads back in grad school, but that was over a decade ago.

I think these are specked fairly similarly in terms of dimensions, battery, and weight. It looks like the panels are the same too, at least in terms of resolution and brightness. The main difference I notice is the CPU and the price.

I have never owned a Thinkbook. Is the build quality that inferior to a Thinkpad? The nub is nice, but I've learned to cope without it.

The 6800U integrated graphics is the 680M which has ~2x the power as the 6650U's 660M. If you plan on doing any gaming on the road, that might be the reason to get the Thinkbook 13s deal. You can add a extended warranty that brings the price up to a comparable level if worried about build quality.

If just looking for the longest lasting ultrabook and not gaming, psref specs suggests the X13 might get slightly better battery life, but given the 6800u is faster, I'd probably still prefer that given how small the difference is:

X13: MobileMark 2018: up to 15.67 hr with 724 performance score @200nits

Thinkbook 13s w/ 6800U: MobileMark® 2018: up to 14 hr

thinkpad is way better than thinkbook.

just for browsing and web, I wouldn't spend more than $150. buy used thinkpad t420 or t430 for $70 with 8gb ram, upgrade to 256 gb ssd for $30,new 9 cell battery for $40. it works great!it runs trading software with 10 web browsers battery holds for 3 hrs. using for past 7 years. still beats $500 laptops and 2022 laptop models which are not thinkpads.

CLEARANCE2022 (both typed in and then I just copied and pasted directly from the listing ) shows as invalid but the code THINKBTSDEALS2 gets the price down to $1020
