Lenovo ThinkPad X9-15 Gen 1 review – So Many Records Broken!
Source: Laptop Media
The Lenovo ThinkPad X9-15 Gen 1 continues the striking, futuristic design language of its smaller sibling X9-14 (in-depth review), presenting as an exceptionally sleek and impressively engineered slab of “Thunder Grey” aluminum. Its all-metal construction is not just for show; it delivers a chassis that feels incredibly robust – genuinely “tank-like” – while remaining remarkably resistant to fingerprints and impressively thin and light for a 15-inch device. This is a machine that exudes premium quality from every angle. Undoubtedly, the centrepiece of the X9-15 is its absolutely phenomenal 15.3-inch 2.8K OLED display – it got in Top 3 Laptops with the Best Screens! With its 120Hz variable refresh rate, full DCI-P3 coverage, excellent brightness in both SDR and HDR, and a virtually PWM-free backlight, it offers a truly stunning visual experience that ranks among the best laptop screens currently available.

There’s a lot to love about the Lenovo ThinkPad X9-15 Gen 1 Aura Edition. It practically cast a siren song upon me between its beautiful OLED display and its punchy speaker system. The battery life and sturdy chassis are also great. The problem is: Performance. If you need a high-performing business laptop, especially for a price that warrants it, then you’re much better off going with the MacBook Air 15-inch M4. It’s faster, supports nearly as much battery life, and it gives you access to the whole macOS suite of apps. However, if you need a Windows device that supports a stunning OLED display, none of the competitors can keep up with the Lenovo ThinkPad X9-15 Gen 1 Aura Edition.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X9 15 Aura Edition represents a big twist on the ThinkPad line, successfully blending its business capabilities with a modern, eye-catching design and a vibrant, professional-grade OLED display. The Aura Edition's AI features, which add even more enhancements on top of Copilot+, set the machine apart from many competitors. Just don't come to it for massive performance. While the ThinkPad X9's general performance proves more than capable for everyday productivity and even some demanding tasks, it's no speed champion, particularly when stacked against dedicated content-creation powerhouses. Ultimately, the X9 carves out a compelling niche for traveling pros and discriminating consumers who prioritize a premium visual experience and cutting-edge AI integration alongside portability and reasonable-enough performance.

95% Lenovo ThinkPad X9 Gen 1 Aura Edition 14″ & 15″ review: Quite possibly the best new laptops of 2025
Source: Techaeris
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.

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.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

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.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
