Introduction

Take-anywhere business performance
What do you get when you combine 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processor, advanced Intel® Iris® Xe graphics, and a 13.3" display with a tall, 16:10 aspect—all in a sleek, lightweight chassis that turns heads? It's the Lenovo ThinkBook 13x Gen 2 laptop, built on the Intel® Evo™ platform to help you get more things done. With its long-lasting 56Wh battery, you'll take it everywhere.

Processor cores optimized for multitasking

12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors deliver the power you need for office work, content creation—whatever your day demands. Using a new, hybrid architecture, performance cores handle single- or lightly-threaded workloads while highly-threaded jobs go to efficient cores optimized for such work. As you focus on multitasking, Intel® Thread Director picks the best cores for each job.

A display that delivers—in a big way

Enjoy bright, crisp visuals on the ThinkBook 13x Gen 2 laptop's 400-nit, 13.3" WQXGA Dolby Vision™ display. Both Touch and non-Touch versions are TÜV Rheinland Eyesafe®-certified, have a 100% sRGB colour gamut, and automatically adjust for ambient light. Plus, the 16:10 aspect is slightly taller than traditional 16:9 models—so you'll get more creative space, see more spreadsheet rows, and so on.

Sensors & software for better security, experience

A variety of sensors and software are ready to help. The standard infrared (IR) camera lets you log in with just your face; step away and a presence sensor can log you out. Glance by Mirametrix® can alert you if someone behind you looks at your screen. Lenovo Smart Appearance uses AI to enhance camera effects for video conferences, and Smart Resolution can automatically upscale your video resolution.

Small outside, big inside

Compared to earlier ThinkBook 13x models, the Gen 2 version packs a taller screen and bigger keyboard in the same, compact chassis size. The 16:10 display has extremely narrow bezels—the screen-to-body ratio is above 91%—and dominates the frame when you open the top cover. Plus, the keyboard stretches nearly edge-to-edge, giving you bigger keys and the feel of typing on a larger laptop.

Portable style you'll love showing off

Not only does the ThinkBook 13x Gen 2 pack a lot of power in a small package, the package itself is something to behold. It starts with the dual-tone Storm Grey or Cloud Grey top cover. It's now made with CNC aluminum for extra durability and is so lightweight you can lift it with just the fingers on one hand. Backlit keys and other features add to the premium look and feel.

Step up to the Windows 11

Another update on the ThinkBook 13x Gen 2 is the choice of Windows 11 Pro or Home operating systems. The centered Start menu is more visible and easier to use. There are improved voice-typing and command capabilities, too, and better integration with Microsoft Teams. Also new: Snap Groups, which let you group related apps and on-screen layouts with easy, one-click access.
