Our Verdict
Lenovo ThinkPad X9 15 Aura Edition (2025)
LG gram Pro 2-in-1 16 (2026)
The LG gram Pro 2-in-1 16 (2026) and Lenovo ThinkPad X9 15 Aura Edition (2025) are premium large-screen Windows ultraportables with 120Hz OLED displays. The LG is slightly larger and much more versatile, as its touchscreen is standard, and its 360-degree hinge permits tablet and tent modes. It also has a slightly wider port selection and a second M.2 storage slot. The ThinkPad is a conventional clamshell available with touch or non-touch displays and several low-power Intel Core Ultra processors, although none quite as powerful as the Core Ultra 7 255H in the LG. Still, the ThinkPad provides much longer battery life, sturdier construction, a better webcam, and quieter, cooler operation with less performance loss during extended workloads.
