Lenovo’s ThinkPad Aura Edition offers an alluring mix of style and speed

At the IFA tradeshow in Berlin, Lenovo unveiled the latest ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition, now with a fresh coat of paint. Honestly? It looks pretty darn slick. Remember when it first popped up at CES 2025? Well, now it’s arriving in Glacier White and I’m kind of loving the modern twist on the usual ThinkPad vibe.

You can get the ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition in 14- or 15-inch sizes, and both come with 32GB of RAM, 1TB of SSD storage, and stunning 1200p OLED screens. It’s also got some serious AI muscle—over 40 TOPS. Intel Core Ultra processors (Series 2) and Windows 11 combine to offer a powerful hardware/software duo, and all the features professionals dig about the X9 are still here, just in a cooler package.

Lenovo’s also making sharing content between devices much easier. Coming later this year, Smart Share will live inside Lenovo Smart Connect, so sharing photos and videos across devices is as simple as a single tap. No more emailing a bunch of stuff to yourself. 

And yes, security’s still a thing (as it should be!). The ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition comes with ThinkShield, Lenovo’s full-on security suite, so all your files and cloud data are protected. It’s stylish and safe, the best of both worlds. Honestly, that’s what I’ve come to expect from a workstation. 

Availability

The ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition (Glacier White) will be available starting October 2025, with a starting price of $1,889 for the 14-inch model and $2,109 for the 15-inch.
