The ThinkPad Z13 Gen 2 is a nifty little 13-inch laptop that sports a colorful OLED screen, a fast AMD Zen 4 processor with six cores as well as 16GB of memory and a 512GB SSD. That particular configuration has now dropped to a very reasonable $670 as part of Lenovo’s latest sale.

Aside from the usual gadgets like smartphones, tablets or even a new camera, a new and particularly compact laptop can also be a good purchase for the current travel season. Fortunately, Lenovo has just introduced a noteworthy discount that applies to the well-equipped ThinkPad Z13 Gen 2.

More precisely, the 13-inch business notebook has been discounted to $670 at Lenovo’s official online store. This sale price applies to the configuration with an AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 7540U and 16GB of soldered LPDDR5X RAM that’s running at 6,400MHz. Moreover, this model variant comes with a 512GB NVMe SSD as well as the gorgeous OLED panel with 2880 x 1800 pixels, 400 nits of brightness and full DCI-P3 color space coverage.

In order to find out if the ThinkPad Z13 is a good fit for you, please refer to our comprehensive review of a slightly different SKU. Since our test unit came with the same WQXGA+ OLED screen, many of our measurements and findings will also apply to this version that’s on sale here. For example, buyers can look forward to a good-looking and compact chassis made of aluminum.

We also liked the USB4 connectivity, but the ThinkPad Z13 OLED uses more power than the IPS variant and only lasted around 8 hours on a full charge. We also had some gripes with the keyboard and touchpad, which aren’t as good as on some other Lenovo laptops. That said, this 13-inch machine can be a good purchase for users who are in the market for a portable OLED notebook with a quick CPU and metal build.
