Lenovo ThinkPad X9-15 Gen 1 Black 2025
Featuring a 15.3-inch 2880x1800 120Hz OLED display at 500 nits, the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V and 80Wh battery power up to 21 hours of runtime. Its Aura Edition adds Copilot+ AI tools and a durable ThinkPad keyboard in a 1.40kg chassis that retains Thunderbolt 4 and HDMI 2.1. This laptop best serves students and mobile professionals who need a vivid high-refresh screen for all-day streaming and productivity—not gaming, given its integrated graphics.
