• 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. 


• 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.


• 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.  


• 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.


• 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.


• 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.


• Windows 11 Pro
