Lenovo ThinkPad X9 Aura 14 L

The Lenovo ThinkPad X9 Aura 14 L is a cutting-edge business laptop that redefines the premium experience with a strong emphasis on AI integration, performance, and portability. Designed with a revolutionary "engine-hub" architecture that neatly houses critical components, this 14-inch machine is thin at just 13mm and lightweight, starting at 1.24 kg, making it exceptionally easy to carry.

At its core, the ThinkPad X9 Aura 14 L is powered by Intel Core Ultra (Series 2) processors, available in both Core Ultra 5 and Core Ultra 7 configurations. These processors feature an integrated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) capable of delivering up to an impressive 48 TOPS (Trillions of Operations Per Second) of AI performance. This dedicated AI engine, combined with the Intel Arc Xe2 GPU (which itself performs over 67 TOPS), enables faster on-device AI processing for features like Lenovo AI Now for personalised assistance, intelligent task management, and enhanced creative applications, ensuring privacy by keeping data local.

The display options are a highlight, with a choice of either a 14-inch 2.8k (2880x1800) OLED touchscreen with a 120Hz refresh rate, 500 nits brightness, and DisplayHDR 600, or a WUXGA (1920x1200) OLED anti-glare panel. Both options offer 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut, providing stunning visuals and accurate colours crucial for content creators and professionals alike.

The laptop comes with up to 32GB of soldered LPDDR5x RAM and up to a 2TB PCIe Gen4x4 SSD, ensuring swift multitasking and ample high-speed storage. Security is paramount with ThinkShield features, including a discrete Trusted Platform Module (dTPM), facial recognition login, a fingerprint reader integrated into the power button, and Intel Threat Detection Technology, making it a Microsoft Secured-core PC.

Connectivity is robust, featuring two Thunderbolt 4-enabled USB-C ports, an HDMI 2.1 port, and the latest Intel Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. The keyboard is backlit and spill-resistant, complemented by a large glass haptic touchpad that provides precise tactile feedback. A high-resolution 4K 8MP MIPI RGB+IR webcam with a privacy shutter ensures clear video calls. The 55Whr battery supports Rapid Charge, allowing for quick power top-ups.
