# Lenovo ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 11 Aura Edition Review: PCMag Editors' Choice Business Convertible Canonical page: https://savlume.com/items/zudxnphpv85989x8obp4lkwsh Publisher: Savlume Published on Savlume: 2026-10-11T20:00:00.000Z Content updated: 2026-10-13T15:40:31.336Z Source publication time: 2026-10-11T20:00:00.000Z Offer status: Unverified In PCMag's review, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 11 Aura Edition earned an Editors' Choice award, highlighted by over 30 hours of video playback in battery testing, a lightweight 2.65-pound magnesium chassis, and tactile keyboard ergonomics. Configured with Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors, the system delivers solid responsiveness for office multitasking, bundled stylus support, and generous connectivity including three Thunderbolt 4 ports. However, pricing starts steep at $2,544 ($2,796 as tested), lacks H-series chip options for demanding creators, and ships standard with a 60Hz panel. ## Media review PCMag gives the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 11 Aura Edition an Editors' Choice designation and a 4.0 Excellent rating, citing its business-ready input devices, battery life, conferencing features, and convertible design while noting its high cost and limited graphics appeal.
