Why I would not recommend the "Thinkpad" X9-15

I feel you, I picked up the 32GB RAM x9 15 for $1.5k ish on sale to replace my t480s. I occasionally notice this series of clicks and creaks when I put my hand on the right wrist rest. After reading this thread, I checked my laptop, and the right side also lifts up from the tabletop!! WTF is this qu

My T14 Gen 5 AMD Experience: I bought it, I used it, I sold it

Lenovo is just constantly trolling by producing subpar Thinkpads. As a matter of fact they have little to no clue what constitutes a proper working machine. Other laptops now have better keyboards and Lenovo only puts the 14 inch hardware in their 16 inch devices which makes them unnecessarily thick

Thinkpad X9-15 After a week

I am the CTO at a medium sized company that has fielded the X1, X13, T14, T14s, T16 and various MacBook pros. I bought some X9-14's and X9-15's and have been using the X9-14 personally the last two months coming from an X1. The form factor is identical to the X1 which I love about it. After getting

Honor MagicBook Art 14 (2025) Review (Translated)

So initial thoughts after less than 24 hours, the keyboard is not quite as good as the Matebook as it has a matte finish so picks up marks / oil, maybe cause the keys were blue on the huawei I didn;t notice it so much and they keys are bigger and better than the lenovo x9, The trackpad is better and

For those cross shopping the MacBook Air Wanting a Light, Budget Windows Laptop

I've been using a ThinkPad X9 15 since around April. It's easily the best laptop I've ever used, and IMO the best choice for those who want a premium and reliable machine with the best qualities of a MacBook (great touchpad, sound, actually better display than MacBook), but don't care for traditiona

Which Windows AMD laptop feels most like a MacBook Pro (keyboard + trackpad)?

Since you clarified you’re looking for AMD or Intel: ThinkPad X9 15.3-inch. Excellent keyboard and haptic trackpad, but make sure you get the haptic version as some models have a traditional mechanical trackpad.

Macbook air windows alternative

I typically go for Lenovo Thinkpads or their Yoga counterparts. For example, for 15.3 inch thin and light laptops, There is ThinkPad X9 15 Aura and the Yoga counterpart would be Yoga Slim 7i Aura 15.3 inch. Typically Thinkpad line is better (for example, with these two laptops, X9 has OLED and 7i ha

Is this a myth?

The games you mention don't require much. Requirements are pretty low. Most laptops can play those no problem. All companies make good and cheap computers. Lenovo makes the Thinkpad line. Which are built well. I would suggest any Thinkpad that fits in your budget. But if it was me I'd get the ThinkP
