The C13 is also the closest thing to a MacBook that I’ve seen yet in the Chromebook space. It has a solid, sturdy build that looks and feels premium. It has a strong processor, an excellent keyboard, and a solid screen, and it comes from a highly respected brand with a devoted base of fans.

Overall, this is my favorite Chromebook I've tested this year. The AMD chips are really impressive. All the lag and slowdowns you think of when opening dozens of tabs on Chromebooks are gone with these processors. Nothing I've tried has strained it much. The catch is, of course, you're paying more—it starts at $649.

The Lenovo ThinkPad C13 Chromebook is a solid performer that’s par for the course in the Chromebook ecosystem.

If you simply want a Thinkpad Chromebook and are comfortable fighting the compatibility issues, then perhaps this was a match made in heaven just for you.

Do you like solidly built, feature-rich devices or do you just need a Chromebook that performs well? If performance, battery and screen are all you are after, something like the Acer Chromebook Spin 713 will be faster, have a better screen, and longer battery life for at least a few hundred dollars less. But if a garaged stylus, tighter build, extra input methods, a great camera, and fingerprint scanner are in the list of must-haves for you, the Lenovo ThinkPad C13 Yoga Chromebook could be worth your attention.
