\u00a0<\/strong>Pen:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I do not use a tablet\/pen often because my work in graphic design involves tiny images created pixel-by-pixel. Therefore, I am probably not the most qualified to comment on Wacom Pen usage. One handy feature is that the housed pen charges right in the ThinkPad L13 Yoga. At the first use, a Lenovo Pen Settings app from Wacom that gives the user access to button and sensitivity settings is installed. There is also a Pen settings page as part Windows 10 Settings as pictured below.<\/p>\n

Pre-Installed Software<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lenovo Vantage<\/p>\n

Office 365 30-day Trial<\/p>\n

No bloat was quite impressive \u2013 a real time saver when setting up a new device.<\/p>\n

Dimensions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Width: 311.5mm (12.26″”) Depth: 219mm (8.62″”) Height: 17.6mm (0.69″”)<\/p>\n

Weight<\/strong><\/p>\n

When it comes to mobility weight is always a factor. I remember when older ThinkPad Yoga models were a bit heavy for women business travelers. That is not the case with this one. The L13 Yoga weighs 1.44kg (3.17lb).<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve enjoyed using the ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 2. One think that impressed me was the glossy display. I frequently use non-glare, but the colors seem more vibrant and clear on a glossy screen \u2013 something I appreciate as I am running graphic design apps all day.\u00a0 For someone who is traveling for business and taking notes, or in school, the Yoga modes have always been popular. One thing that I had to get used to was having to stabilize the display with one hand while using touch in laptop mode. I\u2019m sure that is because it is a convertible laptop so it is understandable that the hinges have some \u201cplay\u201d to them.<\/p>\n
