The webcam is 1080p, which is solid, though we\u2019re seeing a lot of premium laptops move to 5-megapixel or even 12-MP sensors like Apple’s new MacBook Air (M4)<\/a>. I did encounter one serious problem\u2014flickering during video calls. The camera worked fine, but every time I started a video call, it would flicker to black every few seconds. Lenovo seemed convinced this was a fixable bug, but that\u2019s not what you want to see on a pricey machine.<\/p>\n

Fast and Long-Lasting Enough?<\/h2>\n

The ThinkPad X9 14 is available in two processor options, the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V and Core Ultra 7 258V. My unit was the faster option, though neither are powerhouses. They’re part of Intel\u2019s Lunar Lake series, which tilts the balance toward efficiency and battery life rather than brute force. That\u2019s expected in this laptop class (though it\u2019s worth noting how fast the M4 MacBook Air<\/a> is by comparison).<\/p>\n
