Built for business mobility

The Lenovo ThinkBook 13s is a 13.0 inch ultrabook powered by an Intel Core i7-8565U processor with four cores reaching 4.6 GHz. It ships with 16GB of memory and a 500GB NVMe drive running Linux Mint out of the box. The combination targets professionals who need a ready-to-work Linux environment in a compact chassis.

Aluminium chassis with versatile connectivity

The grey aluminium body houses a 1920 x 1080 IPS panel surrounded by narrow bezels and hinges that open 180 degrees for flat collaboration. A physical webcam cover and discrete TPM add hardware privacy layers. USB Type-C handles audio and video output alongside data, while Bluetooth 4.1 connects peripherals without cables. The ThinkPad UltraNav touchpad provides the pointing accuracy long associated with the brand.

Linux Mint and security extras included

Linux Mint arrives pre-installed, removing the usual setup time for developers and administrators who prefer a Debian-based desktop. The discrete TPM encrypts data at rest and works with the operating system security stack. A zinc-alloy hinge rated for 25,000 cycles and indium coating resist wear and corrosion, while anti-spill protection guards internal components during everyday use.
