Testrapporten voor de Lenovo ThinkPad X9-14 Gen 1 Aura Edition
Met de ThinkPad X9-14 Aura Edition heeft Lenovo een compleet nieuwe toevoeging gemaakt aan het toch al overvloedige aanbod van 14-inch ThinkPads. In onze review ontdekken we dat het een waardige toevoeging aan de lijn is, ondanks het on-ThinkPad-ontwerp - of misschien juist daarom?

De ThinkPad X9 kost, afhankelijk van de uitvoering, tweeduizend euro of meer. Voor dat geld krijg je een mooie laptop, met een stevige aluminium behuizing, een fijn toetsenbord en haptische touchpad. De camera heeft een hoge resolutie, er zit gezichtsherkenning en een time-of-flightsensor op en een vingerafdrukscanner is aanwezig. Kortom: alles zit erop en eraan en als je achter dit systeem gaat zitten, dan is het in eerste instantie prettig werken. Totdat je de benchmarks erbij pakt en het blijkt dat er andere laptops zijn die veel dingen beter doen. Grafisch is de Lunar Lake-processor sterk, maar op cpu-vlak zijn er vlottere alternatieven. De accuduur is niet slecht, maar de concurrentie doet het beter. Het oledscherm is mooi, behoorlijk goed gekalibreerd, maar mist een sRGB-stand.

The ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition is not just an attempt to modernize a classic but a full evolution of the ThinkPad line in a new direction. It drops some of the traditional elements in favor of a focus on efficiency, elegance, and flexibility. This model represents Lenovo’s effort to rethink what a modern business tool should be in the era of artificial intelligence. From the chassis and keyboard to the ports and built-in AI features, everything is designed with new use cases in mind.

Ultimately, Lenovo's ThinkPad X9 14 Aura Edition is a sleek, gorgeous device that's a joy to use. The brilliant OLED display, redesigned keyboard, precise haptic trackpad, and experimental form factor result in a statement-making laptop with the hardware to back it up. In terms of pricing, hardware, and targeted demographic, I would put Lenovo's X9 14 Aura Edition in the same ballpark as the Asus Zenbook S 14 and Dell XPS 13, two other "Lunar Lake" devices with a bold design streak. The X9 stands apart, however, with a more down-to-business aesthetic and bearing the name of one of the most respected laptop families on the market. Despite the on-device storage being lower than I would expect for this laptop, I'd still recommend it for folks who work in the cloud, want a premium user experience, and prioritize a high-quality webcam.

Those who read my review of the Dell Pro 14 Premium might have realised that I liked the X9-14 much more than that machine for several critical reasons, even if they share the same underlying architecture. Despite the omission of the red control thingy that was a ThinkPad icon, the X9-14 delivers on most of the other signature features for which this brand is known. It’s robustly made, simple, and direct to use. It has an excellent trackpad and keyboard, and the screen is ideal for working on detailed documents. While the battery life doesn’t match some competitors that use a larger battery, it still has more than enough running time for most business people, even if the working day extends into the night.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X9-14 Gen 1 marks a bold, perhaps even controversial, departure for the storied brand. Yes, the absence of the iconic TrackPoint will undoubtedly be jarring for longtime devotees, signaling a clear shift towards a more modern, perhaps mainstream aesthetic. However, judging the X9-14 solely on this omission would be a disservice to what is otherwise an exceptionally crafted and forward-thinking ultrabook. Its all-aluminum chassis is stunningly elegant, remarkably thin and light, yet feels incredibly rigid and durable. It successfully blends futuristic design with the premium build quality expected of a high-end ThinkPad.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X9 14 Aura Edition is a wonderful but flawed machine – using it is delightful but you are occasionally reminded of its shortcomings. Given how mesmerizing its screen is, and how enjoyable it is to type with, we'd wholeheartedly recommend it if you don't find yourself frequently working without access to power. For instance, it's perfect to use on the commute or while in transit – but you may struggle if you're out at a conference all day without access to a mains socket. Conversely, if you're mostly working from home or on a desk, there's little reason to avoid it beyond its slight disadvantage when it comes to power and performance, especially given many of its enterprise contemporaries tend to be far more expensive.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X9 Gen 1 is a controversial addition to the ThinkPad lineup and easily the best addition to that lineup in many years and possibly the best laptop of 2025 (it is). Yes, I know that is a bold statement, so take it with a grain of salt and do your own research and read other reviews. Overall, both the 14-inch and 15-inch models offer similar performance experiences (depending on what CPU you opt for). Obviously, the screen size is different, but both of these panels are 2.8K OLED displays with anti-reflective coating, and they look spectacular. The design is on point and really reminds me of a MacBook Pro, that is intentional. The new Intel chips and GPUs are spectacular and offer nearly the same performance and battery life as Apple’s M-chips.

There’s a lot to like about the ThinkPad X9-14, and not just for ThinkPad fans. In fact, anyone who came here looking for a traditional ThinkPad design will be disappointed. The ThinkPad X9-14 is much more like other thin-and-light laptops today than that iconic brand, and that’s not actually a bad thing. While the thin design is a bit of a gimmick, because you still need to contend with an Engine Hub that makes it a more typical thickness, it’s still light enough and well-built enough to be comfortably portable. It’s fast enough for productivity users and has a very good OLED display option — although that has an outsized impact on battery life. Business users will like it a lot, but consumers should consider it as well.

If Santa Claus provided us a choice of the ThinkPad X9 or ThinkPad X1 Carbon, we'd pick the latter, but if we were spending our own money we'd be tempted to save hundreds. We can find no fault with Lenovo's new small-business model except for a less-than-ideal keyboard and a missing USB Type-A port. This ThinkPad's screen quality, audio fidelity, and other user conveniences earn it our Editors' Choice award. Lenovo has found and filled a nifty niche with this laptop.

Business laptops are a difficult category for budget-conscious individuals, as they’re reserved for companies seeking to buy in bulk for employees. There’s no shying away from the fact that these things get expensive, but you can often feel assured that your machine is delivering the utmost power. Unfortunately, the Lenovo ThinkPad X9-14 Gen 1 Aura Edition is an exception. For nearly $1,459, our model of the ThinkPad X9-14 features a minimal second generation Ultra 5 chip, 16GB RAM, and 512GB of storage. We’ve tested cheaper laptops with significantly better specs, and upgrading to match those specs brings the laptop over $2K. This isn’t a unique problem to the ThinkPad X9-14, but it’s especially notable when getting one of the weakest second generation Ultra chips out there. Worst of all, its battery life isn’t even that great.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X9 14 Aura Edition makes for a solid Windows ultrabook with decent power, a sublime OLED display and solid battery life. It also looks sleek and is remarkably portable. Just watch out for the meagre port selection against key rivals. With this in mind, the likes of the Asus Zenbook S 16 (2024) and MSI Prestige A16 AI+, as well as even the ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 provide much stronger inputs, with full-size USB-As, SD readers and just more ports generally. The Asus and MSI choices also provide stronger multi-core performance, which will be handy if you’re likely to engage in intensive workloads a lot. This Lenovo choice remains a great choice if you want a stylish business laptop that hits most of the right notes, though. For more options, check out our list of the best laptops we’ve tested.

The ThinkPad X9 14 provides a great keyboard and touchpad alongside a premium look and feel that’s more like Lenovo’s excellent Yoga Pro laptops. While the changes won’t tempt long-time ThinkPad fans, they make the laptop more competitive with prosumer laptops, which often deliver better design than laptops focused on productivity and business. Where the ThinkPad X9 14 lags, however, is bang-for-the-buck. Though it’s as attractive as prosumer peers, you’ll still find that your money doesn’t go as far when buying a ThinkPad as it would if you purchased a prosumer laptop.

While it might seem sacrilegious to ditch the carbon fiber frames and Trackpoint nubs found in classic ThinkPads, at CES 2025 Lenovo’s new ThinkPad X9 line is here to prove that there’s still plenty of room in the family for fresh designs. Lenovo may not admit it outright, but the goal with these new models is to entice younger buyers who might not have a ton of nostalgia for the company’s 30-year-old laptop line.

Commentaar
Intel Arc 140V: Een behoorlijk snelle geïntegreerde grafische adapter die naar verluidt bepaalde Intel Lunar Lake processors gebruiken. De 140V heeft 8 kernen met Xe²-architectuur die draaien op maximaal 2.050 MHz en 8 ray tracing-eenheden; hij is geschikt voor DirectX 12 Ultimate en ondersteunt ook alle moderne videocodecs. Als recente uitgelekte benchmarkscores een indicatie zijn, zullen de gamingprestaties iets beter zijn dan die van de GeForce MX570.
Deze grafische kaarten zouden alle huidige spellen moeten kunnen draaien, maar de meeste spellen zullen alleen met gemiddelde of lage detail instellingen en lage resoluties goed werken. Oudere of minder veeleisende spellen kunnen nog wel met goede grafische instellingen gespeeld worden.
>> Meer informatie kan gevonden worden in ons Vergelijk van Mobiele Grafische Kaarten en de passende Benchmark Tabel.
Core Ultra 7 258V: Een processor uit de Lunar Lake familie voor het hogere middensegment. Dit is een SoC voor gebruik in slankere laptops en tablets met 4 nieuwe E-cores en 4 nieuwe P-cores op maximaal 4,8 GHz, samen met de veelbelovende nieuwe Arc 140V iGPU en 32 GB on-package LPDDR5x-8533 RAM. Een nieuwe 47 TOPS neurale engine, TB 4 en PCIe 5 SSD ondersteuning zijn ook inbegrepen.

14.00": Dit schermformaat wordt vooral gebruikt voor subnotebooks, ultrabooks en convertibles. Voor alle drie types is dit formaat redelijk groot. De grootste verscheidenheid aan subnotebooks wordt vertegenwoordigd in deze klasse.
Grote schermformaten laten hogere resoluties toe. Details zoals letters zijn groter. Anderzijds is het energieverbruik lager bij kleine schermdiagonalen en de toestellen zijn kleiner, lichter en goedkoper.
>>Om de fijnheid van het scherm te vinden, kijk in onze DPI-lijst.
1.21 kg: Dit gewicht is typisch voor grote tablets, kleine subnotebooks, ultrabooks en convertibles met een 10-11 inch schermdiagonaal.
Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" uit de Engelse legende, novo (Latijn voor nieuw) werd in 1984 opgericht als Chinees handelsbedrijf in computers. In 2004 was het bedrijf de grootste laptopfabrikant in China en, na de overname van IBM's pc-divisie in 2005, de op drie na grootste ter wereld. Naast desktops en notebooks produceert het bedrijf monitoren, projectors, servers, enz. en is het gespecialiseerd in de ontwikkeling, productie en marketing van consumentenelektronica, pc's, software, bedrijfsoplossingen en aanverwante diensten.
In 2016 stond het bedrijf op de eerste plaats in de wereld wat betreft computerverkopen. Dit was in 2023 nog steeds het geval, met een wereldwijd marktaandeel van ongeveer 23%. Belangrijke productlijnen zijn Thinkpad, Legion en Ideapad.
In 2011 verwierf het een meerderheidsbelang in Medion AG, een Europese fabrikant van computerhardware. In 2014 werd Motorola Mobility gekocht, wat Lenovo een boost gaf op de smartphonemarkt.
84.6%: Deze score moet gezien worden als gemiddeld, omdat het aantal notebooks dat hoger scoort ongeveer gelijk is aan het aantal dat lager scoort.
