On the 30th anniversary of ThinkPad, the official officially released the Z series notebook specially designed for the Z generation people, focusing on more fashionable designs, environmentally friendly materials and more interesting interactive designs. Next, let’s talk about the ThinkPad Z13.
ThinkPad Z13 abandoned the traditional black appearance and used a high-value ID design that would please young Z era users. It is also a solid practitioner of low-carbon and environmental protection - the packaging is made of 100% recyclable and compostable bamboo and sugarcane raw materials, and the power adapter uses recycled plastic .
ThinkPad Z13 uses recycled aluminum alloy to make the body, and offers three color options: bronze black, Arctic gray, and leather black. Leather black is made of 100% artificial leather , and the environmentally friendly material has not affected its passing 12 MIL-STD 810H rigorous tests. This product weighs about the same as the X13, but the 13.99mm is much thinner (the X13 has a thickness of 17.9mm), making it more portable.
ThinkPad Z13 follows the classic high-touch backlit keyboard , as well as TrackPoint small red dots. Compared with the past ThinkPads, the small red dots of Z13 (including Z16) have been re-assigned to a click design based on the original electro-induced ceramic pressure drive of the X/Y axis, which can quickly call out the interactive menu to achieve quick adjustment and setting.
In addition, this product creatively integrates the [integrated all-area pressure touchpad] into the C surface of the body, further expanding the touch area and achieving more sensitive pressing operation perception. If you press lightly at any position, there will be vibration feedback, as if you are operating a smartphone and a tablet.
ThinkPad Z13 is equipped with an exclusive fingerprint recognition button next to the arrow keys. It is equipped with a 1080P full HD camera and infrared camera on the top of the screen. It can also realize face recognition, supports Dolby Voice and Dolby Atmos, and the video conferencing experience is also excellent.
ThinkPad Z13 uses an OLED touch screen with a 16:10 gold display ratio, with an ultra-high screen-to-body ratio of up to 91.6%, 2880×1800 pixel resolution, 100% DCI-P3 high color gamut, and supports Dolby Vision and Rhein hardware low blue light certification. Unfortunately, the 400nits is low brightness and the refresh rate is not high.
ThinkPad Z13 is equipped with the Ryzen 7 PRO 6860Z processor tailored by AMD. Compared with the familiar Ryzen 7 Pro 6850U, the main frequency is increased by 25MHz. The official said that it is targeted for industry-leading collaboration software, which can bring amazing performance even at ultra-low power consumption.
This processor also integrates Radeon 680M core graphics, and with the support of dual-channel 16GB LPDDR5-6400 high-frequency memory, it can release 3D performance that is not inferior to NVIDIA GeForce MX550 independent graphics.
is subject to the slim body. The ThinkPad Z13 interface only has 2 USB4 and audio interfaces, and its expansion capabilities are not as good as the Ryzen version of its own ThinkPad X13. The built-in 51.5Wh battery can continuously play local 1080P videos to last 13.5 hours of battery life.
Overall, the Z13 is a ThinkPad with higher appearance and a slim figure. Its design is more in line with the taste of young business users. Its unique environmental protection concept, an integrated full-domain pressure touchpad, a customized Ryzen processor, an OLED touch screen, fingerprint and face dual security verification are also its plus points. However, the initial price of ThinkPad Z13 is as high as 10,999 yuan, and the entry threshold is relatively high. For users who like the ThinkPad brand but have a limited budget, the X13 Ryzen version is more fragrant, but the latter looks a bit like [Aesthetic fatigue].
