Lenovo ThinkPad X380 Yoga 8th Gen Core i5 Ram8GB Internal Storage 256GB Touchscreen with Stylus Pen

• Stylus Pen (ThinkPad Pen Pro): A major advantage is the built-in, rechargeable stylus (ThinkPad Pen Pro). It is stored in a dedicated garage slot on the chassis, where it quickly recharges. This eliminates the need for batteries and ensures the pen is always with the laptop.
• Keyboard & TrackPoint: It features the legendary spill-resistant ThinkPad keyboard, renowned for its comfortable, tactile typing experience. The classic TrackPoint (red nub in the middle of the keyboard) and dedicated mouse buttons provide an alternative to the trackpad. A neat design feature is that the keys retract and lock when the device is fully folded into tablet mode.
• Port Selection: The connectivity is robust for an ultraportable, often including Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C), two USB 3.0/3.1 Type-A ports, full-size HDMI, a dedicated power port, and a microSD card reader.
• Build & Portability: True to the ThinkPad line, the X380 Yoga is MIL-STD-810G tested for durability. With a weight starting around 1.43 kg (3.17 lbs) and a thickness of about 18.2 mm (0.72 inches), it is very travel-friendly.

Performance Context

The 8th Gen Core i5-U (with four cores and eight threads) provides excellent performance for demanding business workloads like running multiple apps simultaneously, extensive browser use, and video conferencing. While 8GB of non-upgradable RAM can be a limitation for heavy multitasking or professional creative work, the swift 256GB NVMe SSD prevents the system from feeling slow in day-to-day use. The 51Wh battery generally offered solid runtimes, though actual life varies heavily depending on the display brightness and workload.
