Introduction

Put AI to Work for You
With Intel® Core™ Ultra processors, the ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 9 brings AI power to the forefront. Enjoy optimized performance with dedicated AI engines, including the low-power neural processing unit (NPU) that enables you to do more on battery power. Multitask away with the speed of LPDDR5x memory. So go ahead and turn on auto-framing, background blur, or low-light enhancement for online meetings, even when unplugged! Choose the Intel vPro® Evo™ Edition, for multilayer security, professional-grade performance, reliable stability, and complete management for IT.

Keeps Its Cool
Keep up with demanding workloads without breaking a sweat — and your device keeps cool too. Our team of dedicated engineers increased the thermal capability from the previous generation by 44% on the ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 9 laptop, all while remaining superquiet! Dual-design fans disperse the heat so that even when you push the system to handle multichallenges, it stays cool.

The Write Inspiration
The 9th generation of the ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 delights even the most discerning tech enthusiasts. We’ve re-imagined the placement of the stylus and how it fits with the device. Now, the even larger Lenovo Slim Pen, inspired by a carpenter’s pencil, attaches to the side of the keyboard frame magnetically, so it’s always at arm’s reach. Sketch, take notes, or use it to gain even more precision in apps. And the best part? When you close the lid, the pen remains firmly attached, even when carried.

Our Legendary Keyboard, Now Even Better
Our redesigned ThinkPad keyboard now includes tactile markings to help visually impaired folks easily find the correct keys. We’ve moved the fingerprint reader to the keyboard, resulting in a larger sensor for a better experience. Plus, our TrackPad is even bigger now, at 120mm / 4.72?. Our beloved red TrackPoint still lets you navigate — but with a double tap, it opens the ThinkPad TrackPoint Quick Menu to optimize audio-visuals, set alerts against muting, and even take notes with the Dictation Toolbar for handy speech-to-text transcription.

Shop With Your Values
The ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 9 uses 75% recycled aluminum on the top cover, while the bottom cover blends 55% recycled aluminum with 45% hydro aluminum. The keyboard frame relies on 90% recycled magnesium for the WWAN models, or 75% recycled aluminum without it. Plus, many of the components used to create this laptop rely on post-consumer-content (PCC) recycled plastic, from the speaker enclosure to the power adapter, to the keycaps and more. And the packaging is 100% plastic-free and comprised in part of rapid-renewable materials made from bamboo-sugar-cane fiber.

Raise the Bar on Collaboration
A Communications Bar houses two cameras atop the display — choose the premium option for the combo 8MP and infrared (IR) Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) webcam with Computer Vision. Two 360-degree mics with AI-based noise cancellation, combined with the Dolby® suite deliver an amazing audio experience through speakers that are concealed beneath the keyboard. What’s more, the speakers are made from vibration-resistant materials with lubricant mechanisms that lift the keycaps, so you can enjoy the premium aesthetic and sublime sound.

Make Your 2-in-1 Your Hub
The Intel® Evo™ Edition, ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 9 laptop is engineered to do it all. Experience all-day battery life, instant wake, and best-in-class connectivity. No matter what tasks you tackle, this device is highly responsive. Plus, with Intel® Unison™, you can sync your laptop with any iOS or Android smartphone and then call, text, or transfer files, photos, and videos all from the convenience of your PC.

Unleash Superpowers
Get the most out of your device with preinstalled Lenovo apps. Lenovo View is an AI-based camera app that enhances video quality and provides intelligent collaboration, privacy, and digital wellness features. Lenovo Vantage centralizes settings to safeguard data, automate updates, and improve performance — or Lenovo Commercial Vantage for IT manageability. We make it easier and safer to do your job well.

Known for Reliability
We use the US Department of Defense's MIL-STD 810H to create a balance of reliability and durability for ThinkPad laptops. Meeting or exceeding 12 standards, 26 procedures, and 200+ quality checks ensure that these devices run in extreme conditions, including harsh variables like Arctic wilderness, desert dust storms, extreme temps, pressure, humidity, vibration, and more.

Your Face. Your Fingerprint. Your Fortress.
Biometrics provide extra protection on the ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 9 laptop, from the fingerprint reader to facial recognition software. ThinkShield, our comprehensive suite of security solutions, boasts discrete Trusted Platform Module (dTPM) to safeguard critical data with encryption. Plus, AI-powered Intel® Threat Detection Technology helps prevent ransomware, cryptojacking, and more. When it comes to security and protecting your assets, we’ve got you covered!
