Four Modes, Built-in Stylus, Carbon Fibre at 1.29kg

The refurbished ThinkPad X390 Yoga supports four use modes via its 360° hinge — laptop, tent, stand and tablet — with the integrated ThinkPad Pen Pro stylus always ready, recharging automatically in its chassis garage. At just 1.29kg and 15.95mm thin, this is one of the lightest 2-in-1 business laptops available. MIL-STD-810G certified.

Thunderbolt 3 and vPro Security

One USB-C port supports Thunderbolt 3 — enabling fast data transfer, 4K display output and single-cable docking. The second USB-C supports DisplayPort and Power Delivery, and HDMI provides direct monitor output. Intel vPro adds hardware-level security and remote IT management features valued in enterprise environments.

A Genuinely Useful Port Selection in a Slim Chassis

Despite its slim, sub-1.3kg build, the X390 Yoga keeps a practical spread of connectivity for a 2-in-1: one USB-A port for a mouse, keyboard or USB drive, a second USB-C port with DisplayPort and Power Delivery support, and a full-size HDMI port for a direct route to a projector or monitor without an adapter. A microSD card reader adds a practical extra for anyone who regularly transfers photos or files directly from a camera or memory card. Together with the primary Thunderbolt 3 port, this gives the X390 Yoga a connectivity set that holds up well for docking at a desk or presenting on the move.

Who Is This For?

Yes — the refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad X390 Yoga is ideal for business professionals who need a lightweight 2-in-1 with a built-in stylus and vPro security, IT-managed environments requiring enterprise remote management, and frequent travellers who want Thunderbolt 3 docking in a genuinely compact chassis. If you need more power, we also carry the Core i7-8565U version of the X390 Yoga.

Not ideal for: gaming or 3D design work. For business, note-taking and travel, the X390 Yoga is a strong fit.

Typical Use Cases

The X390 Yoga suits business professionals who want a genuinely lightweight, vPro-secured convertible for enterprise environments, IT teams managing fleets of remotely administered laptops, and frequent travellers who want Thunderbolt 3 docking and touchscreen convenience in one of the most compact 2-in-1 ThinkPads available.

Refurbished vs New at This Price Point

Lenovo has moved on to newer ThinkPad X13 Yoga generations, and the X390 Yoga is no longer sold new — there is no genuine current equivalent to compare directly. Why pay £££ for new? A current entry-level ThinkPad convertible with vPro and Thunderbolt 3 costs substantially more than this certified refurbished unit. Buying refurbished from Primo Technology gets you genuine carbon-fibre ThinkPad build quality, a built-in stylus and enterprise security features, tested and warrantied, at a fraction of any current equivalent’s price.
