Editorial Notes
The Gen 4 refined the Raptor Lake U-series with marginal performance gains over Alder Lake. The OLED display option (2.8K 90 Hz) elevated the display experience significantly. The last X13 Yoga generation before the X13 line was simplified.
Raptor Lake U-series is a mild refresh — minimal performance uplift over Gen 3. OLED option impacts battery life compared to the IPS panel.
Clearance pricing CHF 900-1300. The OLED variant is particularly good value for creative professionals who need pen input.
Certified for Ubuntu 22.04. Raptor Lake is a stable Linux platform. All hardware including the OLED panel works well.
