Today, Lenovo announced the ThinkPad C13 Yoga Chromebook Enterprise. Yes, it"s a ThinkPad running Chrome OS for businesses, and it includes AMD"s recently announced Ryzen 7 3700C processors, which are made for Chromebooks.
The C13 Yoga comes in an aluminum chassis, and the color is called Abyss Blue, so this is actually pretty unique. As far as ThinkPads go, aluminum is rare enough, but even the metal ones come in a color like Iron Gray or something. It"s also a convertible, and like every ThinkPad Yoga, it has a pen garage built into it.
As for parts, it offers dual USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) Type-C ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port, and one HDMI 2.0 port. It"s also got a webcam built into the keyboard, which is meant to be world-facing when you"re using it in tablet mode. It comes in at 3.3 pounds and 15.5mm thin.
The keyboard is the same premium experience that you"d expect from a ThinkPad, with the usual modifications like the lack of a Windows key, a search button replacing Caps Lock, and so on. One thing that"s different from most Chromebooks is that the keys are all caps; most Chromebooks usually use lowercase keys, as this is something that Google wants. It"s just like how you"ll find the two USB Type-C ports on opposite sides of this PC, while Windows-powered ThinkPads have both of them on the same side.
The Lenovo ThinkPad C13 Yoga Chromebook Enterprise is going to be available soon, starting at $579.
