Display options vary by model size and resolution tier. The 14-inch X14 Plus offers an FHD or 2.8K LCD panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. The larger 16-inch X16 Plus provides an FHD or 2.5K LCD panel, also at 120Hz. Both machines carry an 80Wh battery, with the X14 Plus weighing 1.29kg and the X16 Plus weighing 1.64kg.

Connectivity is handled by a comprehensive port selection on both chassis. The left side houses one HDMI 2.1 port, two USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The right side includes two USB-A ports for legacy peripheral support. This layout minimizes the need for dongles while maintaining a clean exterior profile.
