The 9th generation of the Lenovo Thinkpad X1 2-in-1 (formely X1 Yoga) is an Intel based 2-in-1 laptop with a 14 inch touchscreen introduced in 2024. The laptop screen can be folded over transforming the device in a tablet like tool while also including a stylus as an extra form of input. It uses the Intel Iris Xe graphic card and the 14th generation of Intel processors. One of the main changes is that the pen is not stored inside the housing but instead outside fixed with a magnet.
