Lenovo launches on the Romanian market the ThinkPad X9 14 and X9 15 Aura Edition, its newest premium business laptops designed for professionals, which were announced at CES 2025 in January. These Copilot+ PCs powered by Intel® Core™ Ultra processors are cutting-edge, AI-enhanced devices for creative professionals that combine powerful and efficient Intel and Windows 11 platforms, personalized AI-enabled experiences, in an all-new progressive design. ThinkPad X9 offers the ideal toolkit for today’s hybrid users who demand high performance, proven reliability, and seamless productivity.
„Innovation is at the heart of Lenovo’s growth, and with the launch of the new ThinkPad X9 series, we are furthering our commitment to deliver innovative technologies that personalize and simplify users’ interaction with their devices. Every aspect of the ThinkPad X9 series reflects Lenovo’s focus on enhancing the user experience through cutting-edge AI capabilities, security and durability standards, sleek design and unmatched processing power performance. We are committed to making AI-powered technologies accessible to everyone, and the new ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition is another step in that direction, featuring all the innovations Lenovo has to offer in a business laptop,” said Doru Ristea, General Manager Lenovo Romania.
The ThinkPad X9 Series unveils a sophisticated new contemporary design, blending elegance with practical innovation that ThinkPad customers expect. With covers crafted from 50% recycled aluminum, the X9 14 and X9 15 models exhibit a sleek and ultra-slim profile that’s not only visually striking but feature a stylish metal grooved bottom cover. Like all ThinkPad laptops, the X9’s are also highly durable having been tested for MIL-SPEC 810H standards1, and engineered to withstand the demands of everyday professional use. This meticulous design features a unique “engine hub,” a streamlined housing for critical components and connections that optimizes cooling and performance, allowing for extended productivity without sacrificing the device’s slim form factor.
The new “engine hub” design incorporates Thunderbolt ports on both sides facilitating versatile connection to docks, monitors and other USB-C® accessories. Furthermore, the simplicity of this hub enhances serviceability with quick and easy access through the D cover for repair of the battery or SSD. Also, the reimagined keyboard combines ThinkPad’s renowned typing comfort with a modern touch offering precise tactile feel and incorporating a large haptic touchpad that provides responsive feedback for seamless navigation.
Engineered for hybrid work, the ThinkPad X9 includes a communication bar that integrates an 8MP high-definition MIPI camera with smartphone quality sensor for low light situations plus dual noise-cancelling microphones into a unified, stylish frame while keeping the bezels as narrow as possible. This design optimizes top-tier video call quality while showcasing the vivid OLED display that reproduces stunning colors and deep blacks, whether it be on the touch or non-touch options. The result is a device that not only performs reliably but also stands out in any professional or personal setting, embodying Lenovo’s legacy of quality and forward-thinking design.
Engineered for innovators. More durable, more sustainable
With its thin profile, powerful Intel Core Ultra processors, high-capacity battery and robust connectivity (including Thunderbolt™ 4 ports, HDMI 2.1, and Intel Wi-Fi 7), the ThinkPad X9 series allows for seamless transitions from creative tasks to business-critical operations. Hybrid professionals can trust these devices to handle everything from content creation to heavy data applications, without sacrificing portability or design.
In addition to all day long battery life, the ThinkPad X9 14 and X9 15 models emphasize Lenovo’s commitment to transitioning to a circular economy. Both devices feature covers made with 50% recycled aluminum, and the 100% recycled cobalt cell battery in a customer-replaceable design helps extend longevity. Lenovo is also advancing its packaging efforts with innovative, resource-conscious designs that emphasize material efficiency and functionality. Key initiatives include carton boxes and paper-based handles made from FSC-certified materials2, ensuring robust yet practical solutions. Lenovo’s plastic-free primary packaging incorporates paper-based cushions and anti-counterfeit kraft paper carton seals, aligned with its focus in the use of more sustainable materials. Additionally, lightweight bamboo and sugarcane fiber boxes highlight Lenovo’s commitment to reducing waste while maintaining premium aesthetics.
