Lenovo ThinkPad X9 14 Aura Edition Review: Different, but is it Better?

The Lenovo ThinkPad X9 14 Aura Edition has a sleek design, an OLED display, and AI-ready Intel Lunar Lake processors.

Lenovo ThinkPad X9 14 Aura Edition Overview

The ThinkPad X9 14 is essentially a hybrid ThinkPad, crossing many of the features of the classic brand with a modern look and some design changes that might not appeal to diehard ThinkPad enthusiasts.

It’s more of a competitor to chic consumer laptops like the Apple MacBook Air rather than a replacement for traditional business models, particularly Lenovo’s flagship ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12.
