Lenovo has dropped the name Yoga from its flagship convertible for business customers, now calling it the ThinkPad X1 2in1. AI marketing aside, its new Meteor Lake processor offers little performance and its high-resolution OLED touchscreen isn't entirely good. Lenovo also offers an optional haptic touchpad without TrackPoint buttons.

It impresses immediately with its exceptional build quality, utilising premium aluminium for a rigid yet remarkably thin and light chassis that feels both durable and professional. The classic ThinkPad design elements are all present, including the superb keyboard offering a comfortable and precise typing experience, complemented by the iconic TrackPoint and its dedicated buttons.

Undoubtedly, the star of the show is the stunning 14-inch OLED display.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 9 is an excellent choice for business users who need a versatile and reliable device. Its strengths in battery life, display quality, and build make it a strong contender in the premium 2-in-1 market. However, its high price and some design choices may give pause to budget-conscious buyers. Nonetheless, for those who can afford it, this ThinkPad delivers where it matters most. It's a machine I can trust to get my work done without compromising.

The ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 is extremely well built, with features and functionality that will appeal to business users. It’s reasonably fast and has great battery life. All of that’s enough to keep it relevant even as Windows chipsets continue to advance. The problem: It’s too expensive in its current iteration. Laptops with better performance and close to the same battery life can be had for a lot less, albeit without the business-friendly features. If its price drops (or is irrelevant to you), though, the ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 will be well worth considering.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 delivers the features ThinkPad fans expect. It has a first-class keyboard, prioritizes the TrackPoint over the touchpad, and serves up a variety of USB-C and USB-A connectivity. However, compared with the Dell Latitude 9450 or HP Dragonfly G4, the X1 2-in-1 looks plain. And while the X1 2-in-1 managed to defeat the HP, which had a 13th Gen Intel Core processor, in processor benchmarks, the Lenovo was otherwise mid-pack in our processor, graphics, and battery tests. It also fell behind in battery life, and the fact that it didn't outstrip the ThinkBook's weaker CPU in some tests is concerning, considering this ThinkPad's higher-end position. The X1 2-in-1 will appeal most to ThinkPad fans with unwavering opinions on keyboard quality and those who prefer the TrackPoint over a touchpad.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 is an excellent laptop overall, but it's a business laptop equipped with the slightly more expensive Windows 11 Pro OS and Lenovo's red TrackPoint dot beloved by many. For those reasons, I don't think the ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 is worth it for most people. Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic laptop. It offers solid performance, a surprisingly bright, matte display, a bouncy keyboard I absolutely loved typing on, a trackpad as smooth as butter, a plethora of ports, and best of all: an impressive battery life of over 14 hours. But for the average laptop user, are all of those features worth just over $2,400? I'm not so sure.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 9 is easy for everyday tasks like web browsing and word processing and features an excellent keyboard. However, it needs to catch up in some critical categories compared to similar laptops.

ThinkPads aren’t targeted at the average PC user. They’re premium business laptops, and Lenovo gives them a price that matches – thankfully, Lenovo also gives them a premium build quality. (But ThinkPads also go on pretty deep sales sometimes – especially previous-generation ones. You may be able to find this PC at quite a large discount someday). At $2,761, our review model is seriously expensive for a laptop, especially one that trades so much performance for battery life. However, it also does have serious battery life. For people who use a computer for light tasks rather than heavy local computing workloads — and who want a pen with their high-end business laptop — this is a good option. After considering the benchmarks above, you should have a pretty good idea of whether this machine is for you.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 offers decent hardware performance, a hi-res touchscreen, and a long battery life. You may be thinking that there are many non-enterprise users out there who would appreciate a computer like this, and normally I would agree, but its starting price of $2,531 is hard to justify beyond the enterprise context, even if it is a convertible. Additionally, keep in mind that adding options like an OLED screen and hardware upgrades will boost the price up to over $3,000. Lenovo's X1 Carbon, by comparison, costs about $1,600 and offers a similar experience. For alternative convertible laptops, I recommend Lenovo's latest Yoga 9i laptop. It has a better display and goes for much cheaper.

The new Core Ultra 7 258V processor doesn't offer huge raw performance benefits over last year's options, but it's significantly more efficient with much faster graphics performance for longer battery life, quieter fans, and better editing potential.

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.
In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.
In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
Intel Graphics 4-Core: Integrated graphics card based on the Xe LPG architecture (similar to the dedicated Arc GPUs, but with a focus on efficiency). Provides 4 Xe cores (64 Xe vector engines) and 4 ray tracing units.
Intel Arc 140V: A pretty fast integrated graphics adapter that higher-end Intel Lunar Lake family processors employ. This is a direct successor to the Arc 8; it can drive three SUHD 4320p monitors simultaneously via HDMI 2.1, eDP 1.5 and DP 2.1. With the 140V, all 2023 and 2024 games are playable at 1080p on low graphics settings.

Intel Meteor Lake-U:
Ultra 7 165U: An upper mid-range Meteor Lake family chip that debuted in December 2023. This 1st Gen Core Ultra processor has come to replace 13th generation Core processors; it has 12 cores (2 + 8 + 2) and 14 threads at its disposal. Its Performance cores, of which there are 2, run at up to 4.9 GHz while its Efficient cores, of which there are 10 (8 main cores plus 2 extra ones found in the Low Power Island) run at up to 3.8 GHz. The 4-core Intel Arc Graphics, just out of the oven, serves as the integrated graphics adapter - this runs at up to 2.0 GHz - and there is a bevy of other brand-new technologies on offer as well including the integrated AI Boost NPU with two Gen 3 engines for hardware AI workload acceleration. vPro Enterprise and business-centric features such as the Remote Platform Erase are onboard as well. This laptop processor's Base power consumption is 15 W, with 57 W being its maximum Intel-recommended Turbo power consumption.
Intel Lunar Lake:
Core Ultra 7 258V: An upper mid-range Lunar Lake family processor. It sports 4 new Skymont E-cores and 4 new Lion Cove P-cores running at up to 3.7 GHz and 4.8 GHz respectively, along with the new Arc 140V iGPU and 32 GB of on-package LPDDR5x-8533 RAM. It essentially matches the Core Ultra 7 165U and Core i7-1360P in multi-thread performance and it eats up to 37 W when under short-term workloads.

14.00:
14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact.
In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.

78.08%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
