Lenovo releases new 14-inch ThinkPad globally with 120 Hz VRR OLED
Lenovo has finally released the latest ThinkPad X1 after showcasing the 2-in-1 in January during CES 2026. Replacing the Lunar Lake-based Gen 10 edition (curr. $1,897 on Amazon), the ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 11 Aura Edition contains various changes over older models not just limited to faster processors.
For reference, Lenovo equips all SKUs with a 58 wh battery and three Thunderbolt 4 ports within a 14-inch housing that measures 313.5 x 219.3 x 9.4~16.4 mm. Although Lenovo mentioned Core Ultra X7 processors at launch, the ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 11 starts with a Core Ultra 5 325 processor, 32 GB of RAM, 1 TB of PCIe 4.0 storage and a 1200p IPS display with a 60 Hz refresh rate.
Alternatively, the laptop can be configured with a Core Ultra 7 355 processor for £220/€250 more and a 2.8K OLED (120 Hz VRR) display or a PCIe 5.0 SSD for £110 each in the UK but €120 and €130 in the Eurozone, respectively. Moreover, Lenovo sells its Slim Pen 2 as a £30/€30 extra and NFC connectivity for a £10/€20 surcharge. Curiously, only Core Ultra 7 355 variants can be optioned with 16 GB of RAM for a £290/€330 saving.
While the ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 11 Aura Edition shows as starting at £2,489.99/€2,799, it can be configured without an operating system for a £50/€60 saving. Lenovo will begin shipping on March 24 in the UK and across the Eurozone. Shipments may begin later in other markets like Australia, though. Please see our launch article for more details.
