Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga The convertible 13.3-inch mainstream ThinkPad with 360° hinges
The Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga takes the classic business ThinkPad and adds 360-degree hinges: a touchscreen, tablet mode and pen support, without giving up the keyboard and TrackPoint the brand is known for. As a refurbished business laptop from ITR Bulgaria, it is the affordable way to get a convertible with real ThinkPad ergonomics, a machine for people whose laptop changes its pose as often as their work does.
Benefits
Why the Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga makes sense as a refurbished business laptop: convertible flexibility with classic ThinkPad ergonomics
360° hinges in the L line
Convertible hinges in a mainstream business line, a pairing that usually lives in the premium tier. Laptop, tablet and presentation stand from one machine.
FHD touchscreen + pen (options)
A 13.3-inch FHD display (300 nits), with optional touch and active pen support. In tablet mode you write notes by hand; in stand mode you flip through slides with a finger.
ThinkPad keyboard, 1.8 mm travel
The classic backlit, spill-resistant ThinkPad keyboard with the red TrackPoint in the middle. A convertible chassis, but typing stays exactly like a full ThinkPad.
2× SO-DIMM up to 32 GB DDR4
The memory is not soldered: two SO-DIMM slots take DDR4-2133 with 7th-gen Core or DDR4-2400 with 8th-gen Core, up to 32 GB. Uncommon for a thin 2-in-1, where RAM is usually soldered down and closed to upgrades.
Aluminium lid + MIL-STD-810G
A build with an aluminium lid and a glass-fiber-reinforced polymer base that passes the 12 MIL-STD-810G test methods. Convertible hinges take more flips, so durability here is practical rather than decorative.
45 Wh + Lenovo Rapid Charge
A 45 Wh battery with Lenovo Rapid Charge, up to 80% in about 60 minutes with a 65W USB-C charger while the laptop is powered off. Fast enough that a short gap between meetings restores working charge.
ThinkShield + ThinkShutter
Corporate security: dTPM 2.0, an optional IR camera for Windows Hello, the physical ThinkShutter cover over the lens and an optional fingerprint reader next to the keyboard.
Intel Core, HD / UHD 620 (vPro option)
7th- or 8th-generation Intel Core with integrated HD Graphics 620 or UHD Graphics 620, depending on the processor, calm for Office, a browser full of tabs and video calls. Certain configurations add vPro for centralized management.
Replaceable SSD + Commercial Vantage
An M.2 NVMe SSD you can replace after purchase, plus Commercial Vantage for drivers, BIOS updates and standardized support from one place.
Value as a refurbished laptop
As a used business laptop from the ThinkPad L line, the Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga gives you a convertible with a real ThinkPad keyboard at a price a new business 2-in-1 rarely matches.
Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga: the convertible 13.3-inch mainstream ThinkPad
Convertible ThinkPads usually sit in the premium tier, where the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga lives. The Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga is the less common pairing: the 360-degree hinges drop down into the mainstream L line. One machine works as a desk laptop, folds into a tablet for reading and signing, or stands in tent mode for a small-group presentation, and through all of it keeps the classic ThinkPad keyboard with the red TrackPoint in the middle. For someone who wants convertible flexibility with ThinkPad ergonomics without paying a premium price, the field is narrow. The L380 Yoga is one of the few that fit it.
Flexibility only counts if it does not cost you where you work most, which is the keyboard. The Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga does not give that up: the classic ThinkPad keyboard with 1.8 mm of key travel and a backlight, the same one people who type all day stay loyal to. The 13.3-inch FHD touchscreen (300 nits, 16:9) takes touch and an active pen, so during a training session or a document review you tap straight on the screen, and in tablet mode you write notes by hand. Where it shows: you walk into a client meeting, open the laptop for the presentation, then fold it into a stand and flip through the slides with a finger while you talk, without reaching for a mouse or turning the whole laptop toward the person across the table.
The letter L carries a longer story than the mainstream label suggests. The L line descends from the old ThinkPad R series, the machine IBM built for the business user on a tighter budget: the person on the road who needed a real business laptop but could not justify the flagship's price. When Lenovo retired R and built L, the idea stayed the same, the full ThinkPad DNA (keyboard, TrackPoint, security, military durability testing) without the premium markup of the T and X1 lines. The 13-inch part of the L line, which the Lenovo ThinkPad L380 belongs to, arrived to replace the older Lenovo ThinkPad 13. The Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga takes that affordable-business-ThinkPad idea and adds 360-degree hinges, flexibility that rarely comes with a real ThinkPad keyboard underneath it at this price.
This machine's appearance was part of a larger event: the L family's 2018 expansion, when Lenovo released the Lenovo ThinkPad L380, Lenovo ThinkPad L480 and Lenovo ThinkPad L580 at once — and for the first time added a convertible variant to the affordable line. Until then the rotating screen was a premium privilege with a premium price list; the Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga brought this format to a more affordable tier: four working positions (laptop, stand, tent and tablet) and a pen option. For sales teams and schools that wanted the flexibility but not the bill, this was the model that opened the door.
Under the lid the platform is 7th- or 8th-generation Intel Core (Kaby Lake-R in the 8th generation) with integrated HD Graphics 620 or UHD Graphics 620, depending on the processor, comfortable for Office, a browser full of tabs, video calls and everyday business work. One detail you rarely expect from a convertible in this class: the memory is not soldered. Two SO-DIMM slots take DDR4-2133 with 7th-gen Core or DDR4-2400 with 8th-gen Core, up to 32 GB, so the machine can be upgraded after purchase, while most thin 2-in-1 devices solder the RAM and close that door. The M.2 NVMe SSD is replaceable too. The chassis has an aluminium lid and a glass-fiber-reinforced polymer base and passes the 12 test methods of MIL-STD-810G, which is the reason the hinges survive the thousands of opens and flips a convertible takes more of than a standard laptop. Security sits at the corporate level: ThinkShield components, dTPM 2.0, an optional IR camera for Windows Hello, the physical ThinkShutter cover over the lens, and an optional fingerprint reader next to the keyboard.
Honest about the trade-offs. The touch stack and the hinges add weight, so the Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga starts from 1.56 kg, noticeably more than the standard Lenovo ThinkPad L380 without the 360-degree hinges (from 1.46 kg). If you will never flip the screen, the plain L380 is the lighter choice for the same work. The ports show the generation too: two USB-A, two USB-C, HDMI and a microSD reader, but no Thunderbolt; single-cable docking still works through a compatible USB-C dock. And if what you actually want is to detach the screen as a standalone tablet, the Dell Latitude 5290 2-in-1 is a detachable where the tablet alone, without the keyboard, weighs around 0.85 kg; the L380 Yoga is a different idea, the keyboard stays attached and always at hand. For more screen area without the flexibility, the 14-inch Lenovo ThinkPad L480 is the standard laptop from the same family. As a refurbished business laptop from ITR Bulgaria, the L380 Yoga makes specific sense: a business-class used laptop that has gone through a technical audit and refurbishment with a real warranty, a convertible with a ThinkPad keyboard that a new one rarely matches at the same budget.
Who it's for
Scenarios where the Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga makes the most sense
Presentations and field work
A salesperson or consultant showing a quote at a client's desk: open the laptop to enter figures, then fold it into a presentation stand and talk while flipping through slides with a finger. The aluminium lid, reinforced polymer base and MIL-STD testing handle the daily carrying around.
Hybrid work with a touchscreen
Between the office and home: at the desk it is a full laptop with a ThinkPad keyboard, and for a quick document review or sign-off it folds into a tablet and you work directly by touch, without pulling out a mouse or sitting back down at the desk.
Training and pen notes
A trainer or student who, in tablet mode, writes by hand with the active pen during a lecture or session, then switches back to the keyboard to process the notes. The FHD touchscreen makes handwriting practical rather than a novelty.
Mainstream buyers who want a convertible
People who want 2-in-1 flexibility but are not ready to pay premium money for a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga, and who care about a real ThinkPad keyboard. The Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga sits exactly in that gap: a convertible at a mainstream price, with the brand's ergonomics.
Model highlights
360° Yoga hinges
Convertible hinges that turn one machine into a laptop, a tablet and a presentation stand. Flexibility that is uncommon in the mainstream L line, since it is usually reserved for the premium convertibles.
FHD touchscreen (300 nits) + pen (options)
A 13.3-inch FHD display in 16:9 with optional touch and active pen support. Bright enough for indoor work and ready for handwritten notes in tablet mode.
ThinkPad keyboard, 1.8 mm travel
The classic backlit, spill-resistant ThinkPad keyboard with the red TrackPoint in the middle: navigation without moving your hands off the typing position, even in a convertible chassis.
2× SO-DIMM up to 32 GB DDR4
Non-soldered memory with two SO-DIMM slots: a real after-purchase upgrade to 32 GB. Uncommon for a thin 2-in-1, where RAM is usually fixed to the board with no room to expand.
Aluminium lid + MIL-STD-810G
A build with an aluminium lid and a glass-fiber-reinforced polymer base that passes the 12 test methods of the military standard for vibration, shock, temperature and humidity. A convertible mechanism takes more cycles, so the durability here is practical, not marketing.
ThinkShield, IR camera and ThinkShutter
Corporate security from ThinkShield: dTPM 2.0, an optional IR camera for Windows Hello, a physical ThinkShutter cover over the camera and an optional fingerprint reader next to the keyboard.
45 Wh Rapid Charge + Intel Core
A 45 Wh battery with Lenovo Rapid Charge (up to 80% in about an hour with a 65W USB-C charger while the laptop is off). The 7th- or 8th-generation Intel Core platform with HD Graphics 620 or UHD Graphics 620, depending on the processor, keeps everyday business work running calmly.
A sound pick as a refurbished laptop
The ThinkPad L line is built for a long business life cycle with replaceable memory and SSD. That positions the Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga well as a used laptop that has been through refurbishment and a technical audit at ITR Bulgaria.
Refurbished by ITR Bulgaria: what value do you get?
Buying a refurbished business-class laptop makes the most sense when the device has been through a standardized in-house refurbishment process and ships with a real warranty. That is how used laptops become refurbished laptops that can be a practical, dependable and professional alternative to new budget machines, or a far more sensible purchase than new premium equivalents.
- ✓ Technical audit and cosmetic assessment of the device against an internal standard
- ✓ Refurbishment, cleaning, quality improvement and configuration to a standard for repeat business use
- ✓ Use of original software and a configuration prepared for the model
- ✓ Packaging, a real warranty and model support from ITR Bulgaria

Additional information
Where the Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga fits in the series ▼
The L line is ThinkPad's mainstream business range, above the entry E series and below the premium T series and flagship X1. It descends from the old ThinkPad R series and carries the same idea: the full ThinkPad business feature set at a more accessible price. The Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga is the 13.3-inch convertible variant, with 360-degree hinges, a touchscreen and pen support, while the standard Lenovo ThinkPad L380 is the clamshell from the same family.
Within the ThinkPad hierarchy the order is: the E series is entry for small business; the L series is mainstream for corporate use at a more reasonable price; the T series is the premium workhorse; the X1 is the ultra-premium flagship. The "Yoga" tag means a 360-degree convertible chassis.
The model comes with 7th- or 8th-generation Intel Core. The 13-inch part of the L line, which the Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga belongs to, arrived in place of the older Lenovo ThinkPad 13, and the Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga's successor in the line is the Lenovo ThinkPad L390 Yoga from the next generation.
The Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga is not ideal if… ▼
- You need Thunderbolt — the Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga has two USB-A, two USB-C and HDMI, and supports single-cable docking through a compatible USB-C dock, but has no Thunderbolt. For Thunderbolt 3, look, for example, at the 2018 Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 3.
- You want the lightest possible convertible — at around 1.61 kg, the touch stack and hinges add weight. Premium convertibles (Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 3) are lighter, but in a higher price class.
- You actually want a detachable tablet where the tablet comes off the keyboard entirely — the Dell Latitude 5290 2-in-1 is a detachable (the tablet alone is around 0.85 kg). The Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga keeps the keyboard attached at all times.
- You need a 14-inch or larger screen — the Lenovo ThinkPad L480 (14″) or Lenovo ThinkPad L580 (15.6″) are the standard laptops from the same family.
- You will never use touch or tablet mode — the standard Lenovo ThinkPad L380 is the lighter choice for the same work, without the convertible mechanism.
- You need a guaranteed specific configuration (a particular CPU, RAM, SSD, IR camera, fingerprint reader or an included pen) — configurations vary, so check the specific unit.
Choosing the right size and form factor ▼
13.3-inch convertible (Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga): a compact chassis with 360-degree hinges, with touchscreen and pen options. For people who want both a laptop and a tablet mode in one machine.
13.3-inch clamshell (Lenovo ThinkPad L380): the same screen size, but lighter (around 1.46 kg) and without the 360-degree hinges. For users who do not need touch.
14-inch clamshell (Lenovo ThinkPad L480): more screen area for document and spreadsheet work. A standard laptop without convertible flexibility.
Detachable tablet (Dell Latitude 5290 2-in-1): the screen separates as a standalone tablet, a different idea from a convertible with a fixed keyboard.
Screen size (13/14/15-inch class) and chassis type (clamshell, convertible or detachable) are two separate decisions. Pick the flexibility you need first, then the size.
Alternative models ▼
Within Lenovo:
Lenovo ThinkPad L380 — the clamshell variant from the same family. Lighter (around 1.46 kg) and without the 360-degree hinges. A sensible choice for people who will not use touch or tablet mode but want the same 13.3-inch Lenovo ThinkPad.
Lenovo ThinkPad L390 Yoga — the next generation of the same convertible. A newer platform within the Lenovo ThinkPad L Yoga line; a close choice if you prefer a more recent generation.
Lenovo ThinkPad L480 — the 14-inch clamshell from the Lenovo ThinkPad L series. More screen area, but without convertible flexibility. For people who prioritize screen over form factor.
Cross-brand alternative:
Dell Latitude 5290 2-in-1 — a detachable 2-in-1 from Dell where the tablet separates from the keyboard (around 0.85 kg for the tablet alone). A more tablet-led scenario; the trade-off is that the keyboard detaches, while on the Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga it stays at hand at all times.
Note: an ultra-premium convertible like the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 3 is a higher class, lighter and thinner, but in a higher price segment. It is an alternative only if the priority is minimum weight rather than an affordable price.
Refurbished by ITR Bulgaria: what value do you get? ▼
With the Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga, refurbishment by ITR Bulgaria has a clear logic. The L line is built for a long business life cycle with replaceable memory (two SO-DIMM slots) and a replaceable M.2 NVMe SSD, components that make the technical audit and preparation of the machine cleaner and less dependent on luck with the specific unit.
On top of that comes the character of the brand itself: ThinkPad is a recognized name in corporate IT and fits easily into existing standards. After refurbishment, the model is prepared for repeat business use with a real warranty and support from ITR Bulgaria, the difference between an unchecked used laptop and a refurbished business laptop with a professional origin.
Frequently asked questions ▼
Is the Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga a good choice as a used laptop?
Yes, and for a specific reason. It combines convertible flexibility with the classic ThinkPad keyboard and replaceable memory/SSD, a combination that is rare in this price class. As a refurbished laptop from the mainstream business class, it gives you a 360-degree chassis, a touchscreen with pen and corporate security at a reasonable price.
What is the difference between the Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga and the standard Lenovo ThinkPad L380?
The Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga is a convertible: it has 360-degree hinges, with FHD touchscreen and active pen options, and starts from 1.56 kg. The standard Lenovo ThinkPad L380 is a clamshell with regular hinges and an optional touchscreen, and lighter, with a starting weight of 1.46 kg. Both have two SO-DIMM slots for upgrades: DDR4-2133 with 7th-gen Core or DDR4-2400 with 8th-gen Core; the L380 also offers Celeron with DDR4-2133. The Yoga is for people who want a tablet/presentation mode; the Lenovo ThinkPad L380 is for those who prefer less weight.
Does it support a touchscreen and a pen?
Yes. The display is a 13.3-inch FHD (1920×1080, 300 nits) with optional multi-touch and active pen support. In tablet mode you can write by hand, and in stand mode you can flip through content by touch. Whether a specific pen is included in the box depends on the unit.
What configurations does the Lenovo ThinkPad L380 Yoga come in?
The model comes with 7th-generation or 8th-generation Intel Core (i3, i5 or i7 Kaby Lake-R, including vPro options), DDR4-2133 or DDR4-2400 memory (depending on the CPU) up to 32 GB via two SO-DIMM slots, an M.2 NVMe SSD and integrated Intel HD Graphics 620 or UHD Graphics 620, depending on the processor. Certain units add an IR camera for Windows Hello, a fingerprint reader and a physical ThinkShutter. It is important to check the specific configuration.
