Lenovo Unveils First White ThinkPad
Lenovo has refreshed the ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition in 14- and 15-inch models. Coming about six months after the pair debuted at CES 2025, they’re now available to buy as the first white ThinkPads, though only in China for now.
The ThinkPad X9 Aura is powered by Intel Core Ultra 7 258V or Core Ultra 9 288V processors from the Lunar Lake series. The chips are equipped with integrated Intel Arc Xe2 graphics. The laptop can be equipped with up to 32 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and an NVMe solid-state drive with a capacity of up to 2 TB. The new product is designed not only for business users, but also for content creators who need a powerful AI tool. The neural engine (NPU) built into the processor provides up to 48 TOPS (trillion operations per second) of AI performance.
The ThinkPad X9 Aura display with a 16:10 aspect ratio is built on a 2.8K (2880 × 1800 pixels) OLED touch panel with a refresh rate of 120 Hz and HDR support. The typical screen brightness is 500 cd/m², the peak is 1100 cd/m². The screen has 100 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, supports 10-bit color display and has a response time of 1 ms.
It is currently unknown whether Lenovo will be releasing this Moonlight White refresh globally. For reference, the new variants start at CNY 12,999 (~$1,813) with the Core Ultra 7 258V and go up to CNY 16,999 (~$2,371) if the 15-inch model comes with the Core Ultra 9 288V and 2TB of storage.
