Lenovo is beefing up its Yoga business notebooks, specifically the 13.3-inch ThinkPad L13 Gen 2 and ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 2, with AMD Ryzen 5000 Mobile processors.
Announced Wednesday as part of the virtual MWC (usually live in Barcelona, Spain), both ThinkPad L13s are essentially the same laptops, but with one key difference: the Yoga is a 360-degree convertible and the ThinkPad L13 is a traditional clamshell laptop. This results in a slightly shorter battery life for the Yoga model: 10.6 hours versus 10.8 hours for its clamshell cousin, Lenovo said.
However, the addition of AMD's Ryzen 5000 Mobile processors is a first for the ThinkPad L13 lineup and comes specifically at the request of customers, Lenovo said
AMD Ryzen 5000 Pro processor series
, with more enterprise security and management features.) Executives also noted that the addition of AMD processors allows for 20 percent longer battery life than a similar laptop with an Intel Core chip.
