Thanks to an ongoing sale over at Lenovo's official online store, the well-equipped ThinkPad X9 14 can now be purchased with an enticing 36% discount, bringing its price down to just over $1,200. This specific variant of the laptop ships with a Core Ultra 7 CPU and 32 GB of RAM. Interested customers are requested to utilize the "EXTRASALE" coupon during checkout.
The Intel Core Ultra 7 258V CPU powering the ThinkPad X9 is a decently powerful chip, and should be more than sufficient for most day-to-day workloads. The 8-core CPU lags behind the newer Core Ultra 7 355 by only a few percentage points, which is worth noting. 32 GB of on-package LPDDR5X-8533 RAM handles memory requirements.
The ThinkPad packs a 2.8K OLED display with a smooth 120 Hz refresh rate
An impressive 14-inch OLED display with a refresh rate of 120 Hz is also on offer, packing a resolution of 2880 x 1800. The panel tops out at a claimed 500 nits, and claims complete coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut. Clearly, the ThinkPad X9 laptop should be well-suited for both content consumption and creation. The Arc 140V iGPU is noticeably faster than AMD Strix Point's Radeon 890M iGPU, but is still only good enough for lightweight gaming and non-intensive tasks.
Our in-depth review of a different variant of the laptop with a 1200p OLED display and the same CPU revealed good overall performance and 99.2% coverage of the P3 color gamut, which does live up to Lenovo's claims. We did note that the laptop has a tendency of getting rather loud under load, and the lack of upgradeable RAM may be a disappointment for some people. The 1 TB Gen 4 SSD, thankfully, is upgradeable.
At its current price, there is no doubt that the OLED-equipped ThinkPad X9 14 packs ample value, especially considering the skyrocketing memory and storage prices of late.
