Lenovo has officially launched the ThinkPad X9 15P Aura Edition worldwide, a powerful 15-inch laptop designed to meet high-performance demands with up to 64 GB of RAM and a striking 1,100 nit OLED display. This model aims to replace the earlier ThinkPad X9 15 Aura Edition, enhancing both power and visual fidelity.
ThinkPad X9 15P Aura Edition: High-End Specs and Display
At the heart of the new ThinkPad X9 15P Aura Edition is Intel’s 16-core Core Ultra X7 358H processor from the Panther Lake family. This CPU is the entry-level option among Intel’s Core Ultra X processors but comes equipped with an integrated Arc B390 iGPU featuring 12 Xe3 GPU cores, which have shown promising performance in initial tests.
Lenovo pairs this processor with LPDDR5X-9600 memory, supporting configurations up to 64 GB RAM, alongside a robust 88 Wh battery. The laptop offers two 15.3-inch OLED display options, both 2.8K resolution. One panel supports touchscreen functionality, while both panels cover 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. Notably, these displays deliver a variable refresh rate from 30 to 120 Hz and peak brightness of 500 nits in SDR mode, surging to 1,100 nits in HDR mode for vibrant and detailed visuals.
