Lenovo ThinkBook 13s G2 i5 1135G7 2.4GHz 8GB 256GB 13.3" WUXGA W11P | 1yr Wty

The Certified Refurbished Lenovo ThinkBook 13s G2 ITL is a 13.3-inch business laptop powered by an 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor, 8GB LPDDR4X RAM, a 256GB NVMe PCIe Gen 3 SSD, and a 1920×1200 WUXGA display with Intel Iris Xe Graphics—running Windows 11 Pro. The WUXGA resolution is worth noting: at 1920×1200 rather than the standard 1920×1080, the 16:10 aspect ratio adds roughly 11% more vertical screen space, which means more visible content per scroll when reading documents, emails, or web pages. Because the i5-1135G7 is Tiger Lake architecture, it pairs with Iris Xe graphics—a significant step above the UHD 620 found in 8th and 10th-gen machines—therefore 4K video playback, video call rendering, and light creative work are all noticeably smoother. Tested by our technicians in early 2026, this 2021-era ThinkBook delivers near-current performance in a slim, modern chassis. Ideal For

The ThinkBook 13s G2 suits professionals and postgraduate students who want 11th-gen performance and a sharper-than-FHD display without the premium of a current-generation machine. The 16:10 WUXGA panel is particularly useful for users who work extensively in documents, spreadsheets, or code—where extra vertical height reduces scrolling and keeps more context visible at once. The Thunderbolt 4 port and Wi-Fi 6 make it well-suited to modern desk setups: a single Thunderbolt cable handles charging, display output, and peripherals through a compatible dock.

The ThinkBook 13s G2 is a consumer-business hybrid—sleeker and lighter than the ThinkPad L series, but without the MIL-SPEC ruggedisation or field-replaceable components of the ThinkPad T or L lines. The 8GB RAM is soldered and cannot be upgraded, which is the primary trade-off against models with an accessible SODIMM slot. It's not suited to users who regularly push RAM-heavy workloads or need Thunderbolt 4 for GPU enclosures—for those use cases, a 16GB configuration would be the better starting point. Key Features & Benefits

- Intel Core i5-1135G7 (11th Gen Tiger Lake, up to 4.2GHz Turbo): Tiger Lake delivers a 20–30% IPC improvement over 10th-gen Comet Lake at comparable clock speeds, which means snappier application switching and better sustained performance in Office, browser-heavy workflows, and video calls.
- Intel Iris Xe Graphics: A genuine step up from Intel UHD 620 and UHD Comet Lake—Iris Xe handles 4K video playback, external display output at higher resolutions, and light creative tasks like photo editing or video scrubbing that would strain older integrated graphics.
- 13.3" WUXGA Display (1920×1200, 16:10 aspect ratio): The extra vertical height over standard 16:9 FHD is a practical daily advantage—more of a spreadsheet, document, or web page is visible without scrolling. A noticeably different experience for users accustomed to 16:9 screens.
- 256GB NVMe PCIe Gen 3 SSD: Sequential read speeds around 2,000–3,000 MB/s, therefore application launches, file transfers, and browser session restores are fast. Significantly quicker than SATA-based refurbished laptops at a comparable price point.
- Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C, with PD and DP 1.4): Supports 40Gb/s data transfer, single-cable docking, dual 4K external displays, and up to 100W power delivery—the most capable single port available on a laptop at this class. More flexible than the Thunderbolt 3 found on older Dell and Lenovo models.
- Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax 2×2) Bluetooth 5.1: Wi-Fi 6 handles congested office or campus networks with lower latency than older 802.11ac, which matters during video calls in shared environments.
- 720p HD Webcam with ThinkShutter Privacy Cover: Physical sliding shutter provides hardware-level camera privacy—no software required, no indicator light to second-guess.
- 8GB LPDDR4X 4266MHz (soldered, non-upgradeable): The onboard configuration means RAM cannot be expanded later. 8GB handles standard business multitasking; if your workload regularly involves memory-intensive applications running simultaneously, consider a 16GB alternative.
- HDMI 2.0b 2× USB-A 3.2 Gen 1: HDMI 2.0b supports 4K at 60Hz to an external display without needing an adapter; the rear USB-A port includes always-on charging for devices when the laptop is in sleep or powered off. Common Questions How does the ThinkBook 13s G2 differ from the ThinkPad L13?

These are two different product lines from Lenovo aimed at different buyers. The ThinkPad L13 is a corporate-grade machine with a MIL-SPEC chassis, field-replaceable SODIMM RAM, and a more conservative design built for durability. The ThinkBook 13s G2 is sleeker and lighter, with a more consumer-friendly aesthetic, Thunderbolt 4 (vs no Thunderbolt on the L13), Iris Xe graphics (vs UHD on the L13's 10th-gen i5), and a WUXGA 16:10 display. The trade-off is the soldered RAM and less ruggedised build. For users
