The new Lenovo ThinkPad X9 14/15 laptops have been leaked by WalkingCat on X with a show of the new TrackPoint-less laptops shared ahead of CES 2025 next week. Inside, the new laptops are expected to feature Intel's new Core Ultra 200 series CPUs, but we don't know if they'll be Arrow Lake or Lunar Lake chips.

The new ThinkPad X9 looks thinner but drops some of its connectivity options, with the new ThinkPad X9 14/15 laptops featuring just a single USB Type-C, USB Type-A, and a mini-jack port.

ThinkPad laptops have always been destined for professionals, but the new ThinkPad X9 14/15 laptops without oodles of connectivity might miss out, unless Lenovo bundles some adapters in the box, something we'll find out at CES.
