80% Lenovo ThinkPad X9-14 Aura Edition laptop review
Source: Techradar EN→zh-CN
Those who read my review of the Dell Pro 14 Premium might have realised that I liked the X9-14 much more than that machine for several critical reasons, even if they share the same underlying architecture. Despite the omission of the red control thingy that was a ThinkPad icon, the X9-14 delivers on most of the other signature features for which this brand is known. It’s robustly made, simple, and direct to use. It has an excellent trackpad and keyboard, and the screen is ideal for working on detailed documents. While the battery life doesn’t match some competitors that use a larger battery, it still has more than enough running time for most business people, even if the working day extends into the night.

Lenovo ThinkPad X9-14 Gen 1 review – Futuristic Piece of Razor-Thin Metal
Source: Laptop Media EN→zh-CN
The Lenovo ThinkPad X9-14 Gen 1 marks a bold, perhaps even controversial, departure for the storied brand. Yes, the absence of the iconic TrackPoint will undoubtedly be jarring for longtime devotees, signaling a clear shift towards a more modern, perhaps mainstream aesthetic. However, judging the X9-14 solely on this omission would be a disservice to what is otherwise an exceptionally crafted and forward-thinking ultrabook. Its all-aluminum chassis is stunningly elegant, remarkably thin and light, yet feels incredibly rigid and durable. It successfully blends futuristic design with the premium build quality expected of a high-end ThinkPad.

This Lenovo ThinkPad model ditches a decade-long streak - and I'm glad it did
Source: Zdnet.com EN→zh-CN
Ultimately, Lenovo's ThinkPad X9 14 Aura Edition is a sleek, gorgeous device that's a joy to use. The brilliant OLED display, redesigned keyboard, precise haptic trackpad, and experimental form factor result in a statement-making laptop with the hardware to back it up. In terms of pricing, hardware, and targeted demographic, I would put Lenovo's X9 14 Aura Edition in the same ballpark as the Asus Zenbook S 14 and Dell XPS 13, two other "Lunar Lake" devices with a bold design streak. The X9 stands apart, however, with a more down-to-business aesthetic and bearing the name of one of the most respected laptop families on the market. Despite the on-device storage being lower than I would expect for this laptop, I'd still recommend it for folks who work in the cloud, want a premium user experience, and prioritize a high-quality webcam.

80% Lenovo ThinkPad X9 14 Aura Edition review: A mesmerizing OLED display, but this ultraportable lacks punch
Source: It Pro EN→zh-CN
The Lenovo ThinkPad X9 14 Aura Edition is a wonderful but flawed machine – using it is delightful but you are occasionally reminded of its shortcomings. Given how mesmerizing its screen is, and how enjoyable it is to type with, we'd wholeheartedly recommend it if you don't find yourself frequently working without access to power. For instance, it's perfect to use on the commute or while in transit – but you may struggle if you're out at a conference all day without access to a mains socket. Conversely, if you're mostly working from home or on a desk, there's little reason to avoid it beyond its slight disadvantage when it comes to power and performance, especially given many of its enterprise contemporaries tend to be far more expensive.

98% Lenovo ThinkPad X9 Gen 1 Aura Edition 14″ & 15″ review: Quite possibly the best new laptops of 2025
Source: Techaeris EN→zh-CN
The Lenovo ThinkPad X9 Gen 1 is a controversial addition to the ThinkPad lineup and easily the best addition to that lineup in many years and possibly the best laptop of 2025 (it is). Yes, I know that is a bold statement, so take it with a grain of salt and do your own research and read other reviews. Overall, both the 14-inch and 15-inch models offer similar performance experiences (depending on what CPU you opt for). Obviously, the screen size is different, but both of these panels are 2.8K OLED displays with anti-reflective coating, and they look spectacular. The design is on point and really reminds me of a MacBook Pro, that is intentional. The new Intel chips and GPUs are spectacular and offer nearly the same performance and battery life as Apple’s M-chips.

70% Lenovo ThinkPad X9-14 review: an iconic laptop continues to evolve
Source: Digital Trends EN→zh-CN
There’s a lot to like about the ThinkPad X9-14, and not just for ThinkPad fans. In fact, anyone who came here looking for a traditional ThinkPad design will be disappointed. The ThinkPad X9-14 is much more like other thin-and-light laptops today than that iconic brand, and that’s not actually a bad thing. While the thin design is a bit of a gimmick, because you still need to contend with an Engine Hub that makes it a more typical thickness, it’s still light enough and well-built enough to be comfortably portable. It’s fast enough for productivity users and has a very good OLED display option — although that has an outsized impact on battery life. Business users will like it a lot, but consumers should consider it as well.

If Santa Claus provided us a choice of the ThinkPad X9 or ThinkPad X1 Carbon, we'd pick the latter, but if we were spending our own money we'd be tempted to save hundreds. We can find no fault with Lenovo's new small-business model except for a less-than-ideal keyboard and a missing USB Type-A port. This ThinkPad's screen quality, audio fidelity, and other user conveniences earn it our Editors' Choice award. Lenovo has found and filled a nifty niche with this laptop.

70% Lenovo ThinkPad X9-14 Gen 1 Aura Edition review: Does it hold up to Lenovo’s best?
Source: Laptop Mag EN→zh-CN
Business laptops are a difficult category for budget-conscious individuals, as they’re reserved for companies seeking to buy in bulk for employees. There’s no shying away from the fact that these things get expensive, but you can often feel assured that your machine is delivering the utmost power. Unfortunately, the Lenovo ThinkPad X9-14 Gen 1 Aura Edition is an exception. For nearly $1,459, our model of the ThinkPad X9-14 features a minimal second generation Ultra 5 chip, 16GB RAM, and 512GB of storage. We’ve tested cheaper laptops with significantly better specs, and upgrading to match those specs brings the laptop over $2K. This isn’t a unique problem to the ThinkPad X9-14, but it’s especially notable when getting one of the weakest second generation Ultra chips out there. Worst of all, its battery life isn’t even that great.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X9 14 Aura Edition makes for a solid Windows ultrabook with decent power, a sublime OLED display and solid battery life. It also looks sleek and is remarkably portable. Just watch out for the meagre port selection against key rivals. With this in mind, the likes of the Asus Zenbook S 16 (2024) and MSI Prestige A16 AI+, as well as even the ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 provide much stronger inputs, with full-size USB-As, SD readers and just more ports generally. The Asus and MSI choices also provide stronger multi-core performance, which will be handy if you’re likely to engage in intensive workloads a lot. This Lenovo choice remains a great choice if you want a stylish business laptop that hits most of the right notes, though. For more options, check out our list of the best laptops we’ve tested.

78% Lenovo ThinkPad X9 14 Aura Edition review: Say goodbye to TrackPoint
Source: PC World EN→zh-CN
The ThinkPad X9 14 provides a great keyboard and touchpad alongside a premium look and feel that’s more like Lenovo’s excellent Yoga Pro laptops. While the changes won’t tempt long-time ThinkPad fans, they make the laptop more competitive with prosumer laptops, which often deliver better design than laptops focused on productivity and business. Where the ThinkPad X9 14 lags, however, is bang-for-the-buck. Though it’s as attractive as prosumer peers, you’ll still find that your money doesn’t go as far when buying a ThinkPad as it would if you purchased a prosumer laptop.

Lenovo's new ThinkPad X9 is the least ThinkPad ever
Source: Engadget
While it might seem sacrilegious to ditch the carbon fiber frames and Trackpoint nubs found in classic ThinkPads, at CES 2025 Lenovo’s new ThinkPad X9 line is here to prove that there’s still plenty of room in the family for fresh designs. Lenovo may not admit it outright, but the goal with these new models is to entice younger buyers who might not have a ton of nostalgia for the company’s 30-year-old laptop line.
