It competes with the Apple MacBook lineup, and when you buy it, you always get at least 32 GB RAM as the minimum. Compared with older Lenovo ThinkPad X9 models, this ThinkPad X9-15p is more performance oriented, edging closer to MacBook Pro territory. For such a device, 8 GB RAM are out of the question, but even 16 GB do not cut it. This is why the decision of Lenovo to only offer 32 GB or 64 GB LPDDR5X-RAM configurations is refreshing. Hence, if you buy the Lenovo ThinkPad X9-15p Gen 1 Aura Edition, you always get at least 32 GB RAM.
