"When the ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition debuted at CES in early 2025, it immediately caught my attention for its stark departure from the ThinkPad design ethos. No TrackPoint, no black, utilitarian design, and no left/right trackpad buttons. Was this even a ThinkPad? Well, yes, but it's something entirely new, as well. The X9 is a highly functional laptop in its own right, with an ultraportable form, decent battery life, and sleek aesthetic with its ribbed bottom plate and engine hub."
"The matte "Glacial White" colorway adds a sleek, future-forward aesthetic to a laptop that was already unafraid of breaking from the mold. It comes in a 14- and 15-inch form factor and includes the same hardware as the original configuration: an Intel Core Ultra 7 258V processor. Notably, however, the white X9 has bumped up local storage to a 1TB SSD in both the 14- and 15-inch configuration, my biggest criticism of the original silver model when I reviewed it,"
Lenovo unveiled three new devices: the ThinkPad P1 Gen 8, ThinkPad P16v Gen 3, and a Glacier White variant of the ThinkPad X9. The X9 abandons traditional ThinkPad elements like the TrackPoint and utilitarian black finish in favor of an ultraportable form, ribbed bottom plate and an engine hub design, powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 258V in 14- and 15-inch models. The Glacier White Aura Edition increases local storage to a 1TB SSD for both sizes. Lenovo also replaced the physical tap-to-share feature with a Lenovo Connect file-sharing option and showcased mobile workstation upgrades.
