Linux on ThinkPad X13s
Linux on ThinkPad X13s
Made from 90% recycled magnesium and PCC plastic, the Lenovo ThinkPad 13s laptop runs Windows 11 Pro with Snapdragon® and features multiday battery life and AI-based security.
After Lenovo released the X13s with Snapdragon ARM CPU, I was wondering how the Linux experience might be so far. Did anyone give it a try already?
Wow, I've completely missed that! Hopefully the bootloader can be freed from Microsoft's grasp
What is the battery life/performance compared to a X1 nano for example (similar size but x86)?
Just out of curiosity, what would you hope toget out of the arm CPU? More battery life or better performance for certain tasks?
Mostly looking for a good performance per watt ratio. I am interested in this one particularly because of the fanless design and low weight (Starting at 1.06kg / 2.35lbs).
All I see is Windows 11 Home or Pro?
Edit: Oh I see, I thought you meant they would be purchased with Linux preinstalled.
My question was more about compatibility. Preinstalled Linux is not a must, but would love to know if there are any blockers (bootloader, drivers, etc.).
Gotcha. Different machine and price point, but I'm happy with my X1 Carbon. Battery live is 8-10 hours under light use with screen brightness turned up.
