Lenovo ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition – Awesome AI features and cutting-edge hardware

Lenovo recently unveiled the new ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition laptop at an immersive Pop Up Activation in Sandton City Shopping Centre.

The event was attended by popular tech and media personality Aki Anastasiou, who got an up-close and personal look at this impressive laptop.

The ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition is an Intel Evo laptop, meaning it boasts premium AI technology and superior performance for professional users.

This power is packaged in a sleek design – making the ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition the ultimate professional powerhouse for on-the-go professionals.

Powerful hardware

At the heart of the ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition is its impressive technical capabilities that allow it to meet every workload without issue.

This includes a cutting-edge Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, which combines with up to 32G LPDDR5X RAM and 2TB M.2 PCIe SSD for unprecedented multitasking and the ability to run intensive tasks with ease.

The ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition is particularly impressive at running AI workloads, and this is thanks to the Neural Processing Unit (NPU) that is included in its Core Ultra 7 processor.

This NPU is a dedicated AI powerhouse, enabling the use of AI to boost productivity, streamline key processes, and much more.

Such powerful laptops will be critical to business productivity and will form a key part of many business fleets.

The Intel vPro fleet management platform is, therefore, another critical inclusion in these laptops.

Leveraging technologies like AI, this platform offers improved, fleet-wide features like multi-layered security, remote fleet management, and improved update stability.

Intel estimates that its vPro platform results in up to a 90% reduction in hardware-related on-site visits, and up to 65% less time spent on device management.

Excellent usability

Alongside its impressive internal hardware, the ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition boasts an excellent OLED display.

This screen is perfect for professionals who spend hours staring at their screen every day, as it features antiglare technology and TÜV Rheinland Certified Low Blue Light.

Both technologies reduce the impact looking at the screen for long periods will have on your eye health.

Further improving your user experience is the innovative Power Mode, which automatically optimises battery consumption settings depending on your situation.

When plugged in, you will enjoy maximum performance, while battery consumption is carefully and automatically managed when your laptop is not charging.

With such impressive battery management, it is easier than ever before to take advantage of the Lenovo ThinkPad X9’s wide range of AI-powered convenience features – such as Lenovo AI Assistance.

This feature refines and polishes your written content, and can also summarise and answer questions based on existing documents – saving you time if you need to consume large documents quickly.

Lenovo AI Assistance also functions alongside Microsoft Copilot, and should you run into any trouble, Lenovo’s built-in chatbot called Lena can guide you through settings, updates, and troubleshooting.

Another key feature of the ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition is its Privacy Mode, which will alert you and blur your screen when it detects someone peeking over your shoulder.

Attention Mode blocks out distractions when you need to focus, while Collaboration Mode automatically optimises your camera, lighting, and background for online meetings.
