Lenovo’s Latest Lightweight Laptop
The company has globally launched a new 14-inch notebook. Recall, they just presented the IdeaPad Slim 5 Ultra, another 14-inch machine weighting 1.06 kg. However this new ThinkBook 14x is even lighter at only 990 g.
Specs and Pricing Details
Additionally this 14-inch laptop will be sold with the Core Ultra 5 226V, Core Ultra 5 228V, Core Ultra 7 266V, Core Ultra 7 256V and Core Ultra 7 258V, plus 16 GB or 32 GB of LPDDR5X-8533 RAM. Unusually the ThinkBook 14x contains M.2 2242 and M.2 2280 slots despite its 312 x 217 x 12.9-15.6 mm dimensions, although only the former will be populated from the factory. Setting that aside the ThinkBook 14x contains the following ports:
- USB-C with Thunderbolt support
- USB-A ports
- HDMI output
- Headphone jack
Battery and Display Options
Moreover Lenovo has also included 54.7 Wh or 65 Wh batteries supported by 65 W charging. On top of that the ThinkBook 14x will be configurable with up to an 1800p OLED display featuring a 120 Hz VRR refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 colour space coverage and 500 nits SDR/1,100 nits HDR peak brightness values. Overall the ThinkBook 14x sounds like it could be a more lightweight alternative to the ThinkPad X9 14 Aura Edition we reviewed in March 2025.
Global Version and Pricing
For the time being the company has not revealed what the ThinkBook 14x looks like. Multiple sources suggests that the ThinkBook 14x is the global version of the ThinkBook X AI 2026 that Lenovo has just released in China. To that end the ThinkBook X AI 2026 is said to weigh about 1 kg with up to a Core Ultra 7 258V while being 12.9 mm thick at its thinnest point. Based on early retailer listings the ThinkBook 14X may launch for around $1,460 in the US with a Core Ultra 5 226V, 16 GB RAM and a 1800p OLED display.
