Is the L13 Yoga good for note-taking?

Yes. The 1080p screen is touch-enabled and supports an active pen, and the hinge folds flat for writing. Many L13 Yoga generations store the pen in the chassis.

Can it run games or video editing?

Only lightly. The Ryzen 7 Pro's integrated graphics handle casual and older games, not modern titles at high settings. Video editing works for short 1080p projects.

How does it compare with the Intel version?

The AMD Ryzen 7 Pro version offers strong multi-core performance and usually costs less, but it lacks Thunderbolt. Choose Intel if you need Thunderbolt docks or eGPUs.

Is 16 GB RAM and 512 GB enough?

For office work, browsing and note-taking, yes. The SSD is user-replaceable if you need more storage later.

Does it come with a pen?

Pen bundling varies by model and region, so confirm with the listing before buying. The screen works with Lenovo's active pens either way.

ThinkPad prices typically fall during back-to-school and Black Friday sales and when a new generation launches. The only new price listed is $1,199.99 at Best Buy as of November 7, 2026.
