The ThinkPad X13 (Gen 2) gets a significant refresh, but its pricing might just be too close to the X1 Carbon and X1 Yoga.

When I reviewed last year's first-gen ThinkPad X13, I noted strong performance from AMD Ryzen 4000 Pro processors and a modest price. However, the stale design and middling battery life held it back. Now the ThinkPad X13 is back for a second generation, and this time my review unit is packing an 11th Gen Intel Core CPU to go along with a bunch of other significant changes. Let's take a look at how it has improved and whether or not the second generation is worth your money.
