The screen of the ThinkBook can be folded back up to 180 degrees, so the notebook can be laid flat on the table. The picture quality is great, and the impeccably manufactured device also works very quickly. However, the meagre SSD storage does not match the otherwise good ThinkBook.

The Thinkbook 13s G2 convinces as a strong mid-range notebook whose performance and design fully meet the wishes of most users. The only minus points are for the mediocre features.
