Four Flexible Working Modes
The 360-degree hinge allows the L390 Yoga to work as a conventional laptop, a touchscreen tablet, a presentation stand or in tent mode. The included digital pen is useful for taking notes, signing documents and annotating PDFs, and the touchscreen makes it straightforward to swipe, zoom and navigate directly on screen without reaching for the trackpad. This flexibility suits anyone who regularly switches between typing at a desk and presenting or note-taking on the move.
8th Gen Core i5 with 16GB RAM
The Intel Core i5-8365U is an 8th generation quad-core processor that handles everyday productivity, browsing, email, video calls and multi-tab work with ease. Paired with 16GB of RAM, it comfortably manages multiple applications and browser tabs open at once, and the 256GB SSD provides fast boot times and responsive file access. This combination gives plenty of headroom for typical office, study and remote-working workloads without feeling stretched, whether that means keeping a dozen browser tabs open alongside a video call or switching quickly between a word processor, spreadsheet and email client throughout the day.
Battery and Charging
The L390 Yoga is built around a 45Wh battery with Lenovo’s Rapid Charge technology, bringing the battery to 80% in approximately one hour. This suits buyers who need a quick top-up during short breaks between meetings or classes rather than a long charge overnight, and the efficient 8th Gen processor helps the battery comfortably cover a typical working day of mixed use.
ThinkPad Build Quality and Security
The L390 Yoga brings genuine ThinkPad reliability to a compact convertible chassis, with the familiar spill-resistant keyboard and precision trackpad. A discrete TPM 2.0 chip gives IT teams a hardware root of trust for encryption and credential storage, making this a sensible choice for business and education buyers who need a baseline of hardware security alongside the flexibility of a 2-in-1 design.
Who Is This For?
The refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad L390 Yoga is a practical choice for students, office users, remote workers and small-business users who want a portable Windows laptop with touchscreen and tablet functionality. Its 16GB RAM also makes it suitable for running several everyday applications simultaneously, and the included digital pen is a genuine bonus for anyone who takes handwritten notes or annotates documents regularly.
Not ideal for: gaming, video editing or other GPU-intensive work — the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 is built for everyday productivity, not creative or graphics-heavy workloads. Buyers who need a built-in wired Ethernet port should note this model relies on the optional ThinkPad Ethernet Extension Adapter, and anyone who wants upgradeable RAM or storage should note that both are fixed on this configuration.
Typical Use Cases
This configuration suits students who want a genuinely portable 2-in-1 for lectures and note-taking with the included pen, remote and hybrid workers who need a reliable business laptop that can also fold flat for presentations and video calls, and small-business users who value ThinkPad durability and TPM 2.0 security in a flexible form factor. The 360-degree hinge also suits anyone who regularly presents to clients or colleagues using tent or stand mode.
Refurbished vs New at This Price Point
Lenovo has moved on to newer ThinkPad L-series Yoga generations, and the L390 Yoga is no longer sold new — there is no genuine current equivalent to compare directly. Why pay £££ for new? A current entry-level 2-in-1 business laptop with a digital pen and TPM 2.0 costs substantially more than this certified refurbished unit. Buying refurbished from Technology Core gets you genuine ThinkPad build quality and convertible flexibility, tested and warrantied, at an accessible price in our Lenovo Yoga range.
