"Lenovo first showcased this ultraportable at CES 2024, and initial impressions centered on the return of Magic Bay, a modular family of peripherals that connect to the laptop via magnetic pogo pins (think MagSafe, but for laptops). But even though the Magic Bay products might be the most attention-grabbing, this Lenovo laptop has a lot more going for it under the hood. In fact, this laptop is surprisingly versatile."
"The review unit I tested was snappy enough with the Ultra 5 and had absolutely no problems multitasking with a handful of productivity apps and multiple browser tabs across two displays. Also, this laptop is compact enough to make transporting to and from the office a breeze, making me question why I chose to have a 16-inch as my primary driver."
The ThinkBook 13x Gen 4 pairs a bite-sized form factor with strong performance and modular expandability through Magic Bay, a family of peripherals that attach via magnetic pogo pins. It ships with the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H (2.4 GHz) and offers an optional Intel Core Ultra 9 upgrade that increases capability and raises price by over $400. The 13.5-inch display delivers 500-nit brightness and a 120Hz variable refresh rate but can feel cramped compared with larger screens. SSD benchmarks show solid read and write speeds, and multitasking across productivity apps and dual displays remains smooth. The laptop is highly portable for commuting.
