Lenovo has removed the TrackPoint nub from new ThinkPad laptops
The Lenovo ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition being showed off at CES 2025 lacks the iconic TrackPoint nub in a nod to a new, modern design that includes Lenovo AI Now.

Lenovo AI Now is an optional LLM that’s based on Meta’s Llama 3.0, which processes all data locally using the integrated Lunar Lake NPU. Lenovo also promises new features coming soon: multilingual support, searching across the PC as well as the tablet, plus improved capabilities to extract data from documents, images, or even portions of the two.
