The 13 in Z13 might as well stand for its battery life, as the unit clocked a staggering 13 hours of battery life off a single charge while I had multiple video sources playing and used the laptop to work. Let’s start with the former before moving into the latter. The benefit of having an ultrabook like the Z13 is going to lie in its intersection of battery life and performance. Additionally, the power button is on the right-hand side, freeing up some space on the keyboard for added features like a fingerprint sensor. Both sides contain a USB-C 4 port, so you don’t have extra devices stacked on top of one another, but the unit is built with Bluetooth in mind.

Once inside, the interior is a sleek black with an otherwise standard ten-key-less keyboard and a generous glass, haptic feedback touchpad. The cylinder-like notch at the top serves as the top of the 1080p webcam and also as a handy way to open the screen itself. The lid is a bit of a trap for fingerprints and features ThinkPad/Lenovo branding at the top right and bottom left corners. Made from 95% recycled aluminum, the overall look and feel is sleek, slightly industrial, and attractive. Slightly thicker than an iPhone 13 and weighing slightly under 2.5 pounds, the Z13 is a radical departure from the chunky chassis of previous ThinkPads. Depending upon individual needs, a full charge may not be needed, but I wanted to jump right into testing the battery, so I was willing to take the extra time accordingly. Upon completion, I had a few more updates to install and fully charged the laptop, all of which took about an extra hour to complete. The traditional elements of any Windows device are present, as I selected my language, connected to Wi-Fi, inputted my Windows profile information, and so forth.

Upon booting up the Z13 (this configuration includes the AMD Ryzen 7 PRO processor) for the first time, I walked through the initial Windows 11 setup process, which took less than 20 minutes to accomplish. Lenovo thinkpad z13 Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 Laptop
