Available Now at Donic Electronics UAE
In 2025, Lenovo made a bold move in the business ultrabook market with the launch of its ThinkPad X9 Series. Combining sleek aesthetics, AI-powered performance, and traditional ThinkPad reliability, the X9 is designed for professionals who demand power without sacrificing portability. Available in 14-inch and 15.3-inch models, the X9 Series is now making its way into the UAE through Donic Electronics, your trusted source for high-end Lenovo laptops.
Let’s explore what makes the X9 Series a standout in today’s premium laptop market.
Design: A Fresh Look for the Modern Professional
The first thing you’ll notice about the Lenovo ThinkPad X9 is its minimalist, elegant design. Crafted from dark gray recycled aluminium, the chassis feels premium while staying environmentally conscious. The 14-inch model weighs approximately 1.27 kg and is only 17.2mm thick, making it ideal for users who are constantly on the move.
One of the most significant design changes is the removal of Lenovo’s iconic TrackPoint nub, a feature ThinkPad loyalists have grown accustomed to. In its place is a large haptic feedback trackpad, giving the device a more modern, centered layout. A 180° hinge allows you to lay the laptop flat, which is perfect for collaborative workspaces and presentations.
Display: OLED Brilliance at Its Best
Both the 14″ and 15.3″ models feature high-resolution OLED displays with 2880×1800 (14″) or 2880×1620 (15.3″) resolutions, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, and a brightness rating of 400 nits. These panels offer rich color, deep contrast, and minimal glare—making them ideal for creative professionals, content consumers, and video callers alike.
The 15.3-inch variant also includes an ultra-sharp 8MP 1440p IR webcam, which enhances video calls and supports Windows Hello for quick, secure logins.
Performance: AI-Ready with Intel Lunar Lake
Under the hood, the X9 Series is powered by Intel’s new “Lunar Lake” Core Ultra processors, part of Intel’s AI-accelerated platform. These chips integrate Intel Arc graphics, a powerful Neural Processing Unit (NPU) with up to 48 TOPS, and improved thermal design. The result? Smooth multitasking, advanced AI features, and efficient power management.
Configurations include up to 32GB LPDDR5x RAM and 2TB of PCIe4 SSD storage, ensuring fast boot times and responsive performance. Whether you’re running intensive office apps, AI tools, or light creative software, the X9 keeps up without breaking a sweat.
AI Features: The Future of Business Computing
Lenovo isn’t just packing in hardware—it’s reimagining how business laptops work with AI. The X9 is a Copilot+ PC, meaning it’s optimized for Microsoft’s AI features built into Windows 11.
Key Lenovo AI enhancements include:
- Smart Modes – Adjust power, cooling, and screen settings based on task and environment.
- Smart Share – Instantly transfer media from your phone to your laptop.
- Smart Care – In-built system diagnostics and remote support powered by Lenovo’s AI engine.
- These features make everyday tasks faster, more secure, and more efficient—giving you a productivity edge.
Battery Life and Portability
Lenovo promises impressive battery life, and real-world tests back that up. The 14-inch model delivers up to 15 hours of usage, while the 15.3-inch variant manages 14 hours on a full charge. Some reviews even recorded over 15 hours of web browsing and 18 hours of video playback under optimal conditions.
Charging is handled via a 65W USB-C GaN charger, getting you from 0 to 100% in under 2 hours. Combined with the lightweight form factor, the X9 Series is one of the most travel-friendly premium laptops available today.
Connectivity and Ports
Despite its slim profile, Lenovo has included essential ports:
- 2x Thunderbolt 4 / USB-C
- 1x HDMI 2.1
- 1x Headphone/mic combo jack
The 15.3-inch model also adds a USB-A port—a welcome inclusion for legacy device support. Wireless options include Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, ensuring fast and future-ready connectivity.
Expert Reviews and Customer Feedback
Early reviews from respected tech outlets paint a positive picture.
- RTINGS praised its bright OLED screen, long battery life, and solid keyboard layout.
- Wired described it as a “quiet, well-designed laptop” but noted that it comes at a premium.
- Tom’s Hardware called it the “prettiest business PC,” citing its excellent design and keyboard, while lamenting the lack of USB-A on the 14” model.
Overall, the X9 Series is praised for its blend of traditional ThinkPad durability and next-gen features. It’s not the cheapest ultrabook on the market, but it delivers exceptional value for professionals who demand quality and innovation.
Lenovo X9 vs. The Competition
How does the X9 stack up against rivals like the MacBook Air M3, Dell XPS 13, or Microsoft Surface Laptop?
- Display: The OLED screen outclasses many IPS rivals.
- AI Performance: The dedicated NPU sets it apart from many Intel and AMD-based competitors.
- Battery: Strong, but not quite as efficient as Apple’s M-series.
- Build Quality: On par with or better than competitors, especially in durability and materials.
While the MacBook Air may offer better battery life and the XPS might be more affordable, the X9’s combination of AI, display quality, and ThinkPad reliability makes it a worthy contender.
