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.

My fascination for technology goes back a long way to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and treasuring computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life. As a student, I further developed a keen interest in mobile technologies that can make the stressful college life so much easier. After I fell in love with the creation of digital content while working in a marketing position, I now scour the web to bring you the most exciting topics in the world of tech. Outside the office, I’m particularly passionate about motorsports and mountain biking.
