The screen display is clear and vivid, and the design of narrow left and right borders makes the visual effect more comfortable and immersive, and it has a better experience when browsing the web, processing documents and designing images.
The camera is reserved at the top of the screen, and the black valve design of ThinkShutter is added to lock the camera physically. When you don't use the camera, you can turn it off completely with a flick, and you are no longer afraid of personal privacy leakage. In addition, this infrared stereo camera also supports face recognition. Open the computer login system, you can log in easily without entering complicated passwords, at a glance.
In the lower right corner of the screen is the L 13 model. The left and right sub-axes are strong, and the vibration absorption is appropriate and smooth. The maximum screen opening angle supports tile mode, which is very suitable for sharing documents with colleagues in a small range, without occupying the conference room and opening the projector.
ThinkPad's full-size "smile" button has always been my favorite. It not only feels comfortable, but also fits your fingertips, and it is not easy to slip off. Moreover, the key of 1.8mm brings comfortable rebound, and typing is accurate and easy, especially suitable for users who input a large number of words and write codes. A convenient keyboard is more important. In addition, the keyboard with two-stage adjustable LED backlight makes me not afraid of night, and the splash-proof property is not afraid of liquid entering the body to damage internal parts. ThinkPad keyboard always brings me a safer and more intimate experience.
Little red dot's design is the most recognizable feature of ThinkPad family. Compared with the touchpad or mouse, once you get used to little red dot's finger flick control, you can put it down, and the positioning is flexible and accurate, especially the left and right keys on the touchpad definitely refer to where to play, and the whole control is correct.
The touchpad of ThinkPad L 13 feels very smooth. In addition to the left and right keys and middle keys used with the "Little Red Riding Hood" pointing stick, the hidden left and right keys are still designed at the lower part of the touchpad to meet users with different usage habits, which further embodies the people-oriented design concept of ThinkPad products. On the right side of the touchpad is the fingerprint identification module. Like a camera with face recognition function, you can also set up your own fingerprint scanning to realize fast login. It is worth mentioning that even if the finger is stained with water and oil, it will not affect the recognition. It can be seen that ThinkPad is very considerate in terms of security and fast login.
As a business application, rich interface and high expansibility will bring more convenience to office. ThinkPad L 13 is equipped with two USB Type-C interfaces, two standard USB 3. 1 interfaces and a 1 Micro SD card reader. You can also use the CS 18 interface with the docking station to increase the expansion ability, such as connecting wired networks, connecting extended displays and other devices.
The bottom edge of the fuselage adopts oblique cutting design, which makes the fuselage thinner and thinner visually, and also leaves room for the speaker system on both sides. Paired with Dolby advanced audio, it brings you more shocking audio-visual enjoyment. If you are in a small business meeting, you can make a video presentation without an external speaker. In addition, there are anti-skid foot pads at the bottom, which raise the fuselage while preventing skid, which is beneficial to the circulation of air at the bottom.
