Lenovo ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 11 Aura Edition
Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 11 Aura Edition is a 14-inch aluminum convertible on Intel Panther Lake, with Core Ultra 5 325 to Core Ultra X7 368H options and a 58Wh battery. Announced at CES 2026 with an estimated US start of $2,149, it began shipping in Europe on 24 March 2026 and was listed from $2,400 in the US by late June; specs here are for the Core Ultra 7 355, 32GB, 512GB model with the 500-nit WUXGA IPS touchscreen.
Pros
- Aluminum chassis starting at 1.14kg and 17.9mm thick, with a 360-degree hinge for laptop, tent, stand and tablet modes
- Three Thunderbolt 4 ports (USB PD, DisplayPort 2.1) plus USB-A, HDMI 2.1 and Wi-Fi 7
- Nearly 22 hours of Wi-Fi web browsing on the 58Wh battery with the IPS panel in review testing
- Options go up to the Core Ultra X7 368H with Arc B390 graphics, 64GB of LPDDR5X-9600 and a 2.8K OLED with 120Hz variable refresh
- Optional Slim Pen 2 docks and charges in a garage in the chassis, with magnetic attachment and tilt detection
Cons
- Premium pricing: Lenovo's US store listed it from $2,400 in late June (its CES estimate was $2,149), and a Core Ultra 7 355, 32GB configuration was priced around $2,700 at review time
- Memory is soldered (16GB to 64GB) and storage is a single M.2 2280 slot, with no card reader or Ethernet port
- Graphics are relatively modest below the Core Ultra X7 368H, the only chip with Arc B390
- The IPS panel is limited to 60Hz, and the optional Slim Pen 2 is thinner and less comfortable to grip than last year's pen in review testing
