The ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 2 was released in early 2021, but thanks to a notable 40% discount at Costco, the 13-inch convertible remains a solid choice for budget-conscious laptop buyers who mostly use office applications.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Compact-Lenovo-ThinkPad-L13-Yoga-convertible-laptop-with-16GB-RAM-now-on-sale-for-449.833351.0.html
This is ACTUALLY a decent deal. :)
Low/mid range performance with a 1080P screen +16GB memory +1TB of storage AND a TB4 port for less than $500USD.
While lacking 'all day' battery life and useless (by itself) for playing games it is an attractive <$500 package highlighting what CAN be bought for that much in 2024.
There are countless examples of lessor equipped models being marketed for far more $$$.
