Lenovo ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition review

I'm not going to tell you that the ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition is among the best business laptops. I mean, I could, and they certainly fit that bill, but they are also a marked divergence from the higher-end ThinkPad models, while also being powerful, tough, and with all-day battery life. Gone is TrackPoint's red nubbin and triple physical buttons on the top of the touchpad, and the exterior is a more sedate dark gray instead of black with red highlights. The best keyboard has been kept for the X1 Carbon and the 2-in-1 models, but even without those features, they're unmistakably a ThinkPad.
