Built with 90% certified recycled magnesium in the top and
bottom covers, 97% PCC plastic in the battery Printed Circuit Board (PCB) cover
and battery frame, and with recyclable carton and bumpers in the packaging4,
ThinkPad X13s is designed to consume less energy.
Manufactured using Lenovo’s low temperature solder method
that can reduce carbon emissions by up to 35%5, ThinkPad X13s also includes low
power 13.3-inch 16:10 display configurations, with touch or Eyesafe® low blue
light options. The reduced need for AC power can help reduce energy
consumption.

Delight Users
Hybrid workers, global travelers, field technicians, and
front-line workers will relish the light 1.06kg (2.35 pounds) laptop, and the
virtual elimination of daily power anxiety and connectivity issues as they roam
between work-from-anywhere locations. Wi-Fi 6E6 provides a more stable
high-speed connection and when unavailable, or a public hotspot is not secure
enough, the device can switch to 5G mmWave or sub6 Wireless WAN for lightning
fast, highly secure, on-the-go connectivity.
Technology innovation should be seamless and addressing customer insights for a smarter and more productive collaboration experience is paramount. ThinkPad X13s integrates a communications bar with a 5-megapixel camera with AI-based auto framing plus Infrared (IR) camera option and standard triple-array microphones providing intelligent noise suppression during conference calls.
Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 introduces a Computer Vision processor
featuring major user experience improvements, from smarter human presence
detection for a more convenient user authentication experience to added
security, privacy, and power saving by automatically turning off or dimming the
display when the user looks away.
AI Noise Suppression and e-Shutter |
The Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 compute platform delivers exceptional battery efficiency with the performance expected for a premium business laptop. The world’s first 5nm platform for Windows PCs, Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3’s superior architecture makes it Qualcomm Technologies’ most powerful and efficient connected platform. Designed for use in premium, truly mobile PCs, it delivers processing speeds with system-level performance boosts of up to 57% and handles multi-tasking up to 85% faster for incredibly smooth, responsive performance7.
Staying always on and always connected is possible with seamless switching
between Wi-Fi and ultra-fast 5G mmWave or 5G sub6, or 4G LTE networks. AI
accelerated audio and camera capabilities create immersive video conferencing
experiences that help users stay productive and engaged.
Delight IT Staff
Hybrid workstyles are here to stay. ThinkPad X13s has the
tools to delight end-users, however IT departments need to ensure their
endpoint devices meet the strict needs of a diversified business environment.
Lenovo Services8 can assist in end-to-end lifecycle needs of the transformation
to optimized Modern IT through planning, configuration, deployment, management,
support and disposal of assets.
Lenovo, Qualcomm Technologies, and Microsoft continuously
collaborate with top tier ISVs (Independent Software Vendors) through the
Microsoft App Assure program for Windows on Arm to support native compatibility
and enhanced experiences of business-critical applications such as Microsoft
365, Zoom™, Sophos™ and many more, critical to the productivity and
collaboration, device and data security, zero trust network access, and
virtualization needs of many enterprise customers. Improved x64 emulation in
Windows 11 offers a better experience for legacy applications, allowing
software developers to incrementally transition apps to run natively using
ARM64EC application binary interface (ABI).
Furthermore, the ThinkPad X13s is equipped with advanced
hardware and software threat protection through ThinkShield9 end-to-end
security platform, and Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 integrates layered secure boot and
Microsoft Pluton architecture implemented on the Qualcomm® Secure Processing
Unit for chip-to-cloud protection of
user identity, data and applications on Windows 11 PCs that meet the
Secured-core PC standard.

Forging Ahead to a Brighter, more Sustainable Future
In addition to recycled materials and efficient manufacturing processes, Lenovo also offers bulk packaging which can reduce packaging waste. And by enabling businesses to contribute to specific ecological projects through Lenovo’s CO2 Offset Service10, customers have offset more than 500,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide across their purchases of Think PCs (desktops, workstations, laptops). That’s the equivalent of the amount of greenhouse gases emitted from more than 100,000 passenger vehicles driven over the course of one year11.
Pricing and Availability12:
- ThinkPad X13s will be available starting May 2022, starting from €1399.
- In the U.S., the ThinkPad X13s will be available on AT&T, and on Verizon later in 2022. More specific availability and pricing will be shared later.
