Rated 5 out of 5 by from MANUFACTURER'S FAULT I bought this laptop, it's in impeccable condition, charged with protective APC unit, and mother board burns, was warranted at the time, they repaired it, it burns a few months later again, this time smoking. Hardly used, only for a studies occasionally. It's a beautiful laptop but definitely has a manufacturer issue

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Finger print authentication works flawlessly I have enjoyed using my new Thinkpad T490 laptop. At 16 GB and 256 GB it has plenty of RAM and SSD storage and is fast. I am using a microSD card to increase the file storage and transfer files from camera to laptop. I have been logging on using the finger print ID and it works well, there's been no need to type in a password. The screen is bright enough that I run it at about 30% brightness level.

I decided to go with something a little more lightweight this time, and I'm so glad I went with the T490. The price CANNOT be beat considering the high quality of the laptop. It's fast! I'm able to do all of my coding on it and have multiple apps open at the same time. And I love the built-in camera cover.

We have well over 10 of these in our small business and now only purchase them exclusively as our standard. We always purchase the best processor available, a minimum of 256GB SSD and 16GB of RAM due to their longevity. Disk space is no longer an issue since most work goes on the cloud. Comfortable, good looking and reliable.

I appreciate the difference in speed. I love my Lenevo. Unless there are radical changes in technology that warrant a change, I expect it to be my workhorse for the foreseeable future.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing performance, fantastic keyboard. This laptop has been great for me. The metal body is amazingly sturdy. It gives you the confidence of knowing it isn't fragile. I'm delicate with my equipment anyway but knowing a little bump won't leave a dent is nice. The screen looks great but the real winner is the keyboard. This is the most satisfying laptop keyboard I've used. The shape of the keys and the responsiveness is second to none.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great laptop, even better customer service! I bought this for my daughter attending graduate school. We reviewed the specs together online and picked the model and specs/options she wanted. The initial selection was more of a custom build. I received a call from one of the sales associates informing me that the custom builds would be shipping later than expected. I really needed this to arrive during my daughter's term break so the associate recommended more of a standard pre-built model with more memory at a small price increase. I agreed to it and the laptop arrived within 3 days! My daughter is completely happy with her new laptop, and I can't praise the customer service & sales associate enough!

Think pad T490 was the best bang for the buck and had handled every challenge I have thrown at it, I bought it expecting to keep it for several years. The only disappointment is the webcam that just isn’t on the same level as the rest of the components. This can be resolved buying an upgraded usb webcam but after paying for a higher end laptop, this is irritating.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A solid performer. I recently purchased the Lenovo T-490 with Core I-7, 8 gb of ram, and 512 SSD needing something for work and school. I must say that I come from a devoted Macbook Pro owner for many years but I needed a PC due to research programs and compatibility. For me, this PC has lived up to my standards with no issues to report after heavy use for approx. 2 months. Some of the features I admire are the HD screen, the keyboard experience, the touchscreen and the USB type C charging. I would buy this laptop again if I had to do it all over again with no regrets. At the $1000 price point, you get what you pay for and I believe that I got my money's worth with the Lenovo Thinkpad T-490. If you are on the fence about his computer, do youself a favor and stop worrying and just buy it! Swapping out the 8gb and put a 16 gb in it's place in 5 mins. Nothing complicated here. Cough, cough .... Apple.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Great All Around Laptop !! The cheap hinges to the screen on my Asus K401 laptop broke unexpectedly last month and I've been looking for a replacement ever since. Finally settled on the Thinkpad T490 two weeks ago from the Lenovo website. Its a great all around laptop with decent specs, sturdy, speedy and light weight. The fingerprint ID login is super fast and convenient, the famous Thinkpad's keyboard is definitely a pleasure to type on, the battery life seemed adequate and the fast charge is simply wonderful. The only regret I have is not getting the 500 nits UHD screen in stead of the 300 nits FHD ips screen. The 300 nits is actually more than adequate and is way better than my last Asus K401 laptop in terms of brightness and contrast, but personally I prefer an even brighter and higher resolution screen, especially with the fast charging ability which would somewhat alleviated the concerns for faster battery consumption on an UHD monitor. I had owned a Thinkpad T420 before the fragile Asus K401 many years ago, I hope the T490 will be as durable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Compact, Durable We bought this for my husband/co-worker because I have had a Yoga for several years that I have not had one problem with. The ThinkPad is compact, durable and easy to use. We like that the keyboard is water proof because he has damaged keyboards with spills in the past. Hopefully, it will work well for as long as my Yoga has.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Workhorse for your workforce Bought 15 of these for deployment to workforce. Solid specs, adaptable design for today's world that's somewhere inbetween USB 3 and USB C and inbetween wireless and wired networks. Out of the 15, two had issues when updating firmware using Lenovo's Vantage program, causing me to have to do some manual workarounds, hence the missing 5th star.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 1440p Dolby Vision screen is great. I got the T490 recently during one of the ever-present sales. I specifically chose the T490 because they had the model with the 1440p HDR vision display in stock. I occasionally do photography work and having a 100% adobeRGB screen is important to me. The screen is impressive. I measured the color space with a colorimeter and it comes out at 99% of the AdobeRGB. When I first received the laptop. It wouldn't power on at all. Fortunately tech support was easy to reach, and after a quick attempt at an emergency reset, authorized an RMA, which came a week later. My only other issue is the trackpad. It's... ok. Pressing the bottom of it to click feels squishy and inconsistent. There aren't many 14" laptops with wide color gamut screens. So if you need that, this laptop is definitely worth looking at.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great customization, Good Linux compatibility I was in the market for my first laptop in years, and my biggest concerns were performance, price, and Linux compatibility. I was looking for a computer I could develop on. I have heard very good things about ThinkPads, so they made my list, and I was also considering the Dell XPS. I ultimately chose the former, and I have been very impressed. When I picked up the box it was shipped in, I was shocked at how light it was, and of course, the laptop itself is even lighter. The construction seems very solid, and I was able to install Fedora 30 without any problems. That said, I have not tested every hardware feature super rigorously, but the major things seem to work well. I am very pleased with my purchase, and I look forward to using it more.

A unique thing that it has to improve is about the battery life. I believe if the battery performs better, the customer can also afford it with slightly higher price. The current price without discount is more than a thousand bucks. Increasing 10% of that will not make customer afraid to buy at all.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bit of a letdown I upgraded from a 7 year old T430s that has a growing list of hardware issues. The packaging and installation of the T490 went smoothly. Several things in the new design disappoint me though. The front corners of the laptop are much sharper than the T430s. They jab into my wrists, especially when I reach for the right mouse button. I'm also annoyed by the cooling fan design, which is in the bottom, not the side and back of the laptop. My leg gets hot when using the machine and I just found the warning not to set it down on a sofa or other soft fabric. Of course, that's how I use it, so have to ignore that warning and hope for the best. Sharp corners and the fan placement are the issues I didn't expect. Well known was the lack of a SD slot - the mini-SD slot now needs an adapter to work with my camera's cards. The power cord is on the left side, rather than the back and the connection feels a bit flimsy, so hope that lasts. The hinge is strong and the touch screen is great. I was worried about how much I'd use the touch screen, but find it very useful for scrolling and especially when browsing. The fingerprint reader works fine. The camera lens cover is very hard to move - like I think I'll break it if I use it more than a few times. The think-button (or what ever we call that red mouse nub) is why I bought a ThinkPad. So far, using it seems a bit less smooth than I'm used to, but I'll probably get used to it. The keyboard touch is fine (except for the corner jabs to my wrist).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I had an issue on the ThinkPad T490 Laptop. I bought a ThinkPad T490 Laptop recently. There was an issue occurred that was the screen turned black when I didn't use the laptop for a while, but I couldn't have it turn on when I wanted to use it. The situation was I didn't use the laptop for like 20 minutes, and it went to sleep mode and it was on battery power. The only way to have the screen back was that I have to press the power button to restart the laptop and every program I had on the laptop was gone. This happened twice so far. It more likely is Windows' problem. I want to report the issue that I had so far since I received this survey request.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Laptop I have used Lenovo ThinkPad's for my day to day work and needed a solid reliable laptop for a family member and immediately thought about a Lenovo laptop for them for Christmas. I searched the available systems on the site and compared pricing to another supplier of the same model and specs and ended up buying direct from Lenovo. I added the Office 2013 perpetual license to the order and the 3yr local service warranty because I wanted to avoid having to ship it somewhere for repairs. Ordering was fast and easy and the laptop arrived within days and on time even during the chaos of 2020 Christmas time shipping nightmares. It took hardly any time to set up the laptop upon arrival for my family member and they love it. We had given her an HP pavilion a couple years ago which was a horrible system and this time around we wanted something solid for them and this fit the bill. As I stated I have a Lenovo system, T460s, from work and it's still kicking butt even though it's out of warranty (3yrs) and plan on using it until I'm told I need to upgrade because IT won't support the system any longer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I was Red Pilled... Full disclosure, I am an avid Apple fan and user. However, recently my employer opted to pay for my continued education and the field I chose is Cybersecurity. I knew I needed a new laptop as my old 2011 Macbook Pro was barely a paperweight. Going off the recommendations of those in the IT field and with some Cybersecurity experience, I also knew that a Windows based laptop would be the one I needed. And then began the routine we all know so well; google something and then spend a week or two reading and watching reviews on products to find what I wanted to purchase. It didn't take long for me to realize that Lenovo kept popping up at the top of the lists people created for the best laptop. So, over to Lenovo I went. Of course I had a budget, but thank goodness, I came across their Doorbuster Deal at the right time! Now the dilemma...which model to choose??? I had a basic idea of the specs I needed and with the help of Grey, a very informed representative, I settled on the T490! I ordered it on a Thursday and was initially due to receive it on the following Monday with the next business day option. But since my first live seminar was to take place that Sunday evening, I reached out on a whim and asked if there was any way to expedited the delivery. I kept trying to connect with someone in the chat but between the number of people ahead of me and my being at work that day, I could never connect. Next thing you know though...I received an email update saying it would be there Friday morning! Like a kid on Christmas, I waited with anticipation and once it arrived, I set it up and connected all of my class websites...I was hooked! Now, to be fair, even an abacus was faster than my old laptop by then so that would be an unfair comparison. However, this laptop is absolutely amazing!! The battery easily lasts me all day, and that's with doing class work and the like while I am at work. The 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD are both lightning fast! And the keyboard....this glorious keyboard! Knocking out 500 word assignments usually means I turn in around 700, because I can type away all day! Suffice it to say that I'll be a lifelong Lenovo customer from now on! Maybe I'll upgrade to the X1 Carbon once I graduate or save up some more, but I'll definitely stay within the ThinkPad family from now on! If you're looking at the T490 as an option, go for it! Can't go wrong here.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Workhorse at a great value! I like this laptop a lot. It is a workhorse, dependable, and very durable. I had a Thinkpad at my previous employer where I put it through the wringer. There, I used the laptop an average of 55hrs / week for two years (some weeks as much as 90hrs). I drug it around all over the place, wherever work took me. I never had a single problem in those two years. So, when I needed a new personal laptop, I went with the Thinkpad. again. I use it mostly for office-type tasks and this little machine is blazing fast and the picture is crisp on the 14" laptop screen as well as the 27" monitors that I have attached to it. Video quality for conference calls, etc. is good as well, and I like that it has a build-in lens cover.

The ThinkPad T490 has the general look and feel of the ThinkPad family with a soft black paint finish and the same sturdiness like the X1 Carbon. The keyboard is a typical “ThinkPad keyboard” with all the goodness that comes with it: comfortable 1.3mm key-travel, curved keys, and spill-proof. In short, it has an impeccable typing experience. This keyboard is backlit (2 levels of brightness) is very handy at night, in bed, or in a plane. It is a great typing experience.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Well rounded, perfect laptop. Absolutely the best laptop I've had so far. I've only had three others so the bar isn't high. I get a product and I try to keep it as long as possible. My last laptop didn't last as long as the first two. So I set about looking for a laptop or brand that was known for making something that's built well and built to last. I came across ThinkPad. It has everything-I cross shopped it with the Surface Book 3 and Surface Laptop 3-and this came out on top. It's got parts you can swap or change, thunderbolt port, etc. I also appreciated it's construction, as I've got a nasty allergy to the nickel and cobalt sometimes found in electronic devices. So this laptop having a very different construction and paint job has also benefited me. Although, I wish it were easier to keep clean!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid upgrade from the T440 I bought this as an update to my T440 from 5 years ago. I had maxed out the memory on that one at 16GB. On this one I ordered it with 32GB and I am able to have 5 IDEs open now. That would have made my machine grind to a halt before. Pros: - It's half as thick and lighter than my T440! - I was able to install Ubuntu 20 no problem - Very excited at the memory capacity; it handles virtual machines and all of the other memory-hungry stuff I have to do very well - Coworkers commented that the microphone quality is improved - Lenovo does a great job of providing documentation for all of the specs you could want. If you have a complex question you may have to dig a little but the information is probably there. - Looks like my keyboard protectors for the T440 still fit. - I did buy this during the Memorial Day sale, but I looked up how much it would be to buy a new MacBook with 32GB RAM and a 1 TB drive, and I would have spent over $1000 more. Yikes. I guess I won't be able to impress my hipster friends. - My history with Thinkpads gives me a lot of confidence in this machine Cons: - Not sure if this is really a con, but no optical drive anymore! So weird. How will I watch DVDs? - No option to buy it without Windows which seemed like a waste since I just wiped it and installed Linux. I'd give 5 stars if I could have ordered it with Ubuntu Linux, knowing someone at Lenovo had tested everything and could give me the best configuration. - Needed a dock to use dual external monitors, and docks are not cheap. - Shopping for a dock is extremely confusing. I spent a lot of time reading and finding out half of the options are sold out anyway. I ended up going with the "THINKPAD USB-C DOCK GEN2 - US" part number 40AS0090US and it has worked very well. Attaching a cable is a little less satisfying than thunking your laptop into its station, but it works! - I also wish I could order it without a camera. The best way to make your webcam secure is to use one that you can remove from your computer when you're not using it. - Most people won't care about this, but I have of course accumulated a pile of power adapters and a docking station from my old Thinkpads I was hoping I could use. They're not compatible anymore.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent notebook This ThinkPad is superb, with the keyboard being the panacea for those of us who care about ergonomics and design elements geared to help the owner work better and more efficiently. From the chassis to the wonderful screen (which was an upgrade option), I'm quite gratified whenever I pick it up to use it. The only downside is the fingerprint smudges that it seems to collect so easily.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great laptop with a fatal flaw I really like this laptop, and maybe the keyboard switches aren't really for me, but I plan on returning it because of one flaw that makes it a complete write-off for me. The front edge of the palm rest is incredibly sharp, and not only does it feel like it scrapes my wrists when I type on it, but resting my palms on it for too long leaves marks on my wrists and wrist pain. Everything else is great, but I just can't rationalize spending this much money on a laptop that causes me physical pain to use the keyboard.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from quite happy with the laptop so far Outside the minor changes that I have to get used to (for example, this laptop doesn't have F1-F12 buttons which I tend to use often T490 laptop seems to be a great substitution to my older T430 model. It is quite powerful - I even can do some computations on it when I need something relatively doable on one machine and no ready connection to the cluster and still it is slimmer than T430 model. I didn't test it's battery well, since I didn't have to travel, but it seems to be clearly superior to the old model (as I hear it is sort of average in comparison to other available models). Generally, I find it a great cost-benefit offer and if I needed another such laptop I would definitely put this model as a clear favorite for a repurchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very satisfied with the T490. I've pretty much always used Thinkpad laptops for work. For me, the nub mouse means my fingers don't need to leave the keyboard to work for the most part, and I love the overall keyboard and ruggedness of the machine. I needed to upgrade from my five-year old T460s and the T490 was an obvious choice - I didn't need the bells and whistles of the T15, and the price point worked out well given the sale going on at the Lenovo site. I've been working with it for the past month, and haven't found any issues. The only downside is that my old T460s power cords and manual docking station are obsolete given the new USB-C power connection. I did have to buy a new, small docking station given my office setup (2 monitors, external hard drive, headset/mic combo, iPhone charging), but such equipment are readily available and cheap.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Everything is awesome, but not awesome together Everything is awesome on it except for the combination of all of the "high end" customizations and the texture of the plastic. Having the GPU high res screen just annihilates the battery far more than I was expecting so to anyone looking to buy the i7 can power the 2k screen just fine. You are looking at a battery of 1:05 with a gpu and 2k display with brightness turned down surfing the web. The exterior is even more of a fingerprint magnet than stainless steel. Everything else however is working flawlessly!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great lightweight computer for personal or work I use a ThinkPad for work provided by my company, so I already knew what kind of quality to expect when considering one for personal use. I went with the T490 and it didn't disappoint. The fingerprint sensor and keyboard quality is much better than previous model and the lightweight form is just what I was looking for so that I can take this on the go when I travel. I think the biggest factor that pulled me to chose this Lenovo over other brands I was considering is the ports. Very few laptops out there still have an RJ45/Ethernet port on newer slim models which may not seem like a big deal to some, but was a must have for me for when WiFi isn't cutting it and I need to plug in. Others I've seen complain about the limited USB ports but it has enough for a wireless mouse, USB stick and then any other 3rd device. Not sure why you'd need more than that. Also, this is my first run with a SSD laptop but the speeds on this machine are incredible, especially when booting up. The price was very reasonable (got it on sale between $700 - 800) but if it had gone for the original price ($1500+) I might have second guessed the purchase. So far, haven't been disappointed and would definitely recommend.

I will report back if anything changes. Hopefully it won't and I will remain happy with my purchase. PS. Full disclosure... Lenovo sent me an email and asked me to review this computer for a chance to win a tablet. So that's why I am reviewing it so soon. So take my review for what its worth. About 2 cents.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid but wish I paid attention to the details I am very happy with the T490, but next time will pay closer attention to the bells and whistles and have a better understanding of the trade-offs between the different models. This was a Black Friday purchase and got a great deal. It's been several years since I've had a ThinkPad. I love the mechanical - springy feel of the keyboard, but wish it was backlit. I also like the finger scan for logging on. The camera and screen resolution are OK. However, I could have purchased a similar laptop (same processor, ram, storage) with backlit keyboard and better resolution while sacrificing some of the business features that are not as important to me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good computer once working There were some issues with the drivers and the computer was doing wonky stuff. I had to reset it a few times to get the kinks worked out. It's a lovely machine and I do really love the keyboard. I was disappointed that I had problems on the machine right away and needed help to get it fixed. When it happened again, Lenovo tech support said it was "software" and that I would have to pay for help. I told them I would rather just return it and get a new one or go elsewhere. I reset it multiple times and worked on it for a while to fix it. It was really disappointing that those were my only options: pay Lenovo to fix a problem the computer arrived with; return it completely and wait another few weeks for a computer I need; reset it several times myself to get it working. I expected more.

Although my Ideapad worked like a trooper for the last 5 years as both a personal and work computer, it was time to upgrade. The T490 Thinkpad Touch more than fits the bill as a perfect work computer for me. I love the responsiveness of the keypads and backlit keyboard, the size and resolution of the screen, and its speed, to name a few. I've only had it for about a month, but, much like my Ideapad, I'm in love!

Just wish Lenovo offered a few more configurations to get exactly the features I preferred but I found a powerful setup with the 4.8Ghz, 16 GB RAM that is quite peppy. Also, wish Lenovo would allow the backlit keyboard to remember the selection after a reboot so I don't have to change it every time....but that's a loooong story that you can find in the forums ;)

I really wish the modular battery design was still implemented however. I guess I will eventually get used to just connecting it to a power bank. I wish the cost were slightly better as the onboard graphics leave a lot to be desired. Soldering on the memory isn't my favorite either. All in all, a great laptop.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fairly solid laptop, with several annoyances I wasn't concerned about getting the slimmest or lightest laptop, but wanted something more durable. This T490 seems pretty solid. However, within a couple weeks of ownership, I got the dreaded BSOD (Blue screen of death). It only happened once, and may have been a software issue resolved with an update, but still disconcerting. Also, the laptop is very slow to respond when waking up, or plugging in the AC adapter (screen goes black for a while). I specifically wanted a backlit keyboard, but this one has zero functionality. There are no settings - when you turn it on, it stays on a short time, then turns off automatically. Other laptops allow the keys to light back up when you move the mouse. Here, you have to fish in the dark to turn the backlight back on. It would be so simple to add a little menu, that gives the user control over the backlit feature. Finally, the battery is nowhere near the 19 hours claimed. On decent brightness level, less than 8 hours. And the Lenovo Rewards that you receive after purchase is limited in use; for example, you cannot use it to buy an extended warranty (which oddly is considered 'parts').

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A nice laptop that's easy to upgrade I got this laptop a few days ago to replace my old t440 and I've really enjoyed it so far. + The screen (I sprung for the 1440p) is very nice, though pretty glossy. A matte option would have been nice. + The keyboard, touchpad, and touchpad buttons are a dream, even under Linux. Having the top discrete touchpad buttons is so much nicer than the under touchpad buttons on the 440, and having the middle mouse button as well is amazing. The keyboard feels good as well. - Opening the laptop was very difficult. It uses phillips screws instead of torx, which is nice, but the clips around the laptop body were extremely stiff and I was worried about breaking the bottom plate several times. I was able to get it dis- and re-assembled without incident, however. + Easily upgradable: there's only one RAM slot and one NVME SSD slot inside, but both were easy enough to upgrade. I put a 32G ram stick and 1tb NVME SSD in for much cheaper than I could have gotten stock (~300 total).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very nice for a compact laptop It was finally time to replace the 14 year old Dell laptop I was using for my main computer. The old Core 2 Duo just didn't have much oomph anymore. I've always used Dells. I still have 3 at home that I use and every company I've worked for the last 10 years have used them. I probably have 10 power supplies and a 5 docking stations at home. So when it was time to buy a new one I naturally started looking there first. But this T490 was such a good deal, several hundred cheaper than a similarly spec'd Dell laptop, that I couldn't pass it up. So now for the review. The display is nice. I got the touch screen one. I'm still not used to using the touch screen on a laptop, and it's used in a dock with monitors most of the time. But the few times I remember that I can touch the screen have been nice. The keyboard lights up, which is great. The keys themselves are pretty good and I can type fairly fast on it. But some of the keys, like the print screen, Fn, Ctrl, are in the wrong place. Thankfully the BIOS lets me switch the Fn and Ctrl keys so I don't keep hitting the wrong one. The 24GB of memory it came with is great. I do video editing and music recording with it so having that much memory is a nice bonus. The hard drive that came with it was pretty quick, but only 256GB. I bought this knowing I would swap it out with at least 1TB. I bought a Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB M.2 2280 NVMe drive because it's the fastest out there for a somewhat reasonable price. That was a mistake. I could have gone with a cheaper hard drive because this laptop is not capable of realizing the full potential of the 970 Evo Plus. It gets too hot and thermally throttles itself to a rate that makes it seem not any faster than the drive I replaced, even though the specs are much better. So save some money and use a mid-range drive if you intend to replace it. The processor it came with, (i5-8365U has all the security features I want and the speed is pretty good also. According to userbenchmark, this T490 performs in the 70% percentile of machines using this processor. That's after I tweaked it a little to use the recommended PL1 power level of Intel's recommended 25w instead of the 12w it was set to. That brought up the userbenchmark of throttling the CPU from 44% to 87% and still keeps the temperatures in check. Before the tweak, the T490 was only in the 40% percentile so that was a good tweak that boosts performance noticeably without doing any harm. The integrated GPU is horrible for any kind of 3D gaming. And the optional upgrade to the Nvidia MX250 isn't really much of a performer either when compared to what's available for desktop systems. But I expected that and I didn't buy it for gaming so I went with the integrated GPU. I did buy it to use Davinci Resolve video editor for home projects, which makes heavy use of the GPU. I was expecting to add on an eGPU via the thunderbolt port but was disappointed to find out that the port is only 2 lanes where most current laptops have 4 lanes available. This cuts the data rate to the eGPU in half. For gaming that might be ok. It will just make startup take longer while things are being transferred to the video memory, but once loaded it shouldn't be all that much slower than 4 lanes. But for using the GPU as an adjunct CPU, the data rate matters more. So I might not bother with the expense of an eGPU and just keep on using the integrated GPU, at least for now. On to support. The Lenovo Vantage support tool is nice but doesn't seem as slick as Dell's. The little applet that gets loaded to automatically fill in the serial number didn't work for me. And filling it in by hand is a pain because it needs to be in different formats for different areas of support. And you need a separate account for support vs. registration. It would be nice to have a single lenovo account for everything. The reason I needed support was because I wanted to download the recovery file just in case I ever need to restore to factory default. Dell PCs come with that pre-installed on a separate hard drive partition. Lenovo makes you download is and only allows it to be downloaded once per serial number. I was having all sorts of problems getting it to work. Null exception on the webpage where you enter the serial number to check if it's eligible, and the auto detect of serial number wasn't working. I put in a support ticket and the next day it got closed out with no communication about the resolution. I was pretty upset. But then, 2 days later, a recovery USB drive showed up in the mail. That was nice but I would still like to have a copy of it to save in case the USB drive goes bad. I can always raw read copy it off the USB drive I guess. This is starting to get long and too detailed so I'll stop now. In summary, it's a great portable business oriented laptop with tons of security features, supports latest virtualization, is reasonably fast and easy to use and was a great deal. So I'm very happy with it. But it's not perfect, which is why I gave 4 stars instead of 5. The main deficiencies are the 2 lane vs. 4 thunderbolt port when most other laptops have 4 lanes, and insufficient cooling for a high performance hard drive which is kind of expected in a compact laptop but they could have arranged the cooling to cover the hard drive and not just the CPU.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Top End Work Machine I have had my T490 for about a month now. It was an upgrade from a T480 that I had. I can say for sure that Lenovo has done an excellent job with the T490. The screen is amazing if you get the WQHD display. The motherboard on the T490 has the NVMe drive attached directly with out the use of an adapter, and 4 PCIe lanes to the hard drive to really make it move. They switched to an all internal battery so you don't have the use of the hot swap batter system anymore, but the fast charging makes up for it. The only real complaint that I have about the laptop is that Lenovo decided to stick with the Fibocom WWAN card. It works alright on Verizon but will drop out on you every few minutes on T-Mobile.

I would have returned it, but the shipping from Lenovo was such a nightmare (brought to a package center a mile away, and I don't have a car that I didn't think I could handle the hassle again. Trying to chat with customer service was an even worse nightmare. I will never buy a Lenovo laptop again, but unfortunately, I just spent way too much on a subpar machine needs to last me at least 4 years.

Had an issue where the system wouldn't use the resolution my external monitor is capable of, but that seems to be caused by the gen 10 i5 processor and integrated Intel UHD graphics not supporting DVI connections. Not sure about the battery life yet, it's been used mostly connected to the dock so far.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from ThinkPads, still the best laptops of all time. We recently had to replace a T510 which we have had for almost a decade, that while battle scared, still works like a champ. So we went with the T490 series (was on sale, got a great deal). Now, I have to admit to being very biased; I used to work for IBM/Lenovo and consider ThinkPad series laptops to be the best, in particular the T series. I have used other laptops, but all of them have paled in comparison to the Lenovo T series. From the phenomenally efficient trackpad, to the sheer ruggedness of the units themselves, and the excellent service and support, the ThinkPad T series are without peer. The current T490s are no exception, I purchased twom one for my wife & one for myself. I won't consider another brand of laptop, nor should you!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Perfect Laptop for Mobility and Desktop Here's what I found with the T490. Great smooth keyboard, beautiful display, very fast wireless, great design point i.e. thin, light, perfect size for travel or your desk. TrackPoint is wonderful. Price was a steal for the technical specifications. Love it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from T490 This is my second Lenovo T490. First one I am using for past couple of years. I liked its performance and reliability. Recently I bought another T490 for my son who is using for school work. He also really likes. New one supports gestures also which he uses all the time. so far no issues with either one. I recommend T490 product for its performance and reliability.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quite happy with performance and dimensions so far Was looking for a replacement for my old T430, which I found to be very durable during nearly 10 years of work. While I was looking for potential comparable laptops from competitors, I found that at the given price T490 was clearly the best replacement: it has very nice technical characteristics, though I didn't test the battery properly since I didn't have to travel. For someone who need a laptop that is compact, yet powerful and robust I am quite happy with this replacement. If I needed a second laptop with the same purpose, I would not even redo the big search reconsidering other options.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good laptop for work at home or away This is a thinner model than the ThinkPad I bought four years ago and it is has a lot of power. There is one less USB port, which is not a big issue (It still has two regular USB ports). The only complaint initially was the camera; it had a rosy hue when I first used it. I learned about the shutter option and moved it back and forth more than a few times. After a few weeks of this, whether related to moving the shutter back-and-forth I don't know, the camera seems to be picking up more natural hues. Overall, it is a very good work unit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from General Comments Looked all over for the latch to open the laptop -- couldn't find any. Then I realized that there was no latch to open. Just lift the lid. Very clever, but I spent minutes trying to figure it out. You could have warned me! Keyboard: Why put useless pictograms on the Function keys and make the 'F' number barely visible? That is the most useless development I've ever seen. Also, the layout of the Home, Delete, PgUp, and PgDn keys is completely different than on the previous T model I used. Thanks for the consistency! Windows setup was a pain, as it always is. Somehow the User ID was set to something I don't remember controlling. As a result, the Documents got shifted over to an entirely different target location than I wanted. This was very frustrating and confusing.

As I used it for work-from-home, I like the number of built-in ports it offer (HDMI, Ethernet, etc). I even used the micro SD slot to expand the storage. The speed of the micro SD is fast. In addition, it has 1 memory slot which I added 16GB which bring it to 32GB total. It allows me to run several VMs at once (for lab).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Probably the last laptop I will ever need. The ThinkPad T490 is working just fine for me. I have enjoyed the ThinkPad T Series for decades. Only thing I don't like is that the hardware tends to last way beyond it's usefulness and I have a hard time replacing anything that isn't broken. I have dealt with many other brands and not a single one holds up like a ThinkPad T Series. I have know doubt this one will outlast me, "And it has an Ethernet port" so I can work on my routers at home (I use a router for a router and an access point for an access point and a switch for a switch, this makes it much faster and reliable to cover 3 building and 3.5 acres.

The screen resolution is quite high quality, but the graphics card is a bit disappointing (it's a laptop, I know I shouldn't expect much of a laptop graphics card, but still as it's quite low level.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing machine, powerful, and comfortable I am very happy with the usability and swiftness of this laptop. It's a real workstation that looks like a slim laptop, discreet and light enough for movies on the plane, but powerful enough to use 12 hours a day with heavy programs and multitasking. The screen is so bright and vivid. I just wish the QHD screen was a touch screen too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice, fast, portable laptop with WQHD display My wife loves this little laptop. She is an artist and the WQHD display works very well for her ... we are somewhat concerned about glare with the glossy display, but we have been able to work around any glare issues by controlling the surrounding lighting. She also loves how portable it is. The battery life with the WQHD display isn't great, but fortunately she almost always runs with it plugged in.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from ThinkPad at Last! I am very pleased with my Lenovo ThinkPad T490. I had a ThinkPad 10 years ago for work and switched jobs but that employer used another brand. I am so glad to be back using a ThinkPad now, it seems as though I never left my old ThinkPad. The feel is the same but of course T490 is much lighter, faster and has more battery power. All my tasks are now done more quickly and efficiently.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Generally satisfied with this computer The workmanship and quality of this computer are good, especially the typing feel. However, the screen display and speakers are average, which is much worse than my previous Macbook pro. It seems that the heat dissipation is not good. The continuous output of the cpu and MX250 is not enough, which causes the game to be stuck and the FPS will change greatly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Thinkpad fan Been consistently depending on Thinkpads for over 20 years and still a fan. My T490 is exactly what I wanted and performs as anticipated; I've been custom ordering for a long time. The custom order process was smooth as was delivery. I've still got my last two generations running somewhere in the house (purchased 2005 and 2011). Earlier ones had to be returned to my employer. They do come at a premium but quality and reliability is there. Oh, the wife is now on her 2nd round with Lenovo for her business.

It has a useful variety of ports, it runs fast enough for anything one would reasonably want to do on a laptop, and the battery life is great.

This means that when I want to upgrade my RAM or SSD or replace the battery, I am able to without much trouble, unlike many other laptops.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Makes Programming Fun This is a grade A solid laptop. I got this for beefing up my programming chops on the go, and it's delightful. Fast, great keyboard, and the little nub is pretty nice to once you get the hang of it. Love the USB-C for power, less cables to carry around. I like how closing the lid will put it to sleep and then hibernate after some time, which is nice cause I don't have to worry about needing to turn it off (running Windows 10 Pro. Screen is a little glossy but never distracting, though it does give you some decent real estate when it comes to modern program UI. Track pad seems nice but I disabled that because I kept brushing it with my hands, but then again I do a lot of keyboard work. It's missing a graphics card but the integrated one seems fine enough for anything a nin-gamer would want to do. It supports standard graphics APIs so you can still program for it just fine. Love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Everything I expected I am a consumer user who got fed up with searching the sea of mediocrity that this laptop segment has become. Had a chance to try a Lenovo at work and LOVED the keyboard and general build quality so decided to give them a try. I've had the T490 for 1 week and am very impressed. The i5-8365U is snappy and the machine runs quietly with general use. Unless you have a "business" need for an i7 I think the it is the best way to go in an Ultrabook, i7's run too hot and are limited with thermal throttling. The one reservation I had was the display, traditionally a weak point of Lenovo laptops. The FHD touchscreen is nice, not outstanding, but good enough. For me the glossy hi-res option is just too much in a 14" format, and I didn't want to be a guinea pig for the low power FHD so this option was the next best thing with 300 nit brightness. Viewing angles are great and touch is responsive, although I doubt I will use that much. Whilst I appreciate the "anger" from long time users about the T series development path (soldered ram, WiFi card etc there is enough upgradability for me, although a second m.2 slot for another SSD, or make the WLAN m.2 dual purpose, would have been nice. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase and highly recommend it to other fed up consumer users. Great value..... when bought in one of the frequent sales.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent work laptop at the right price point Typical Lenovo build quality--solid. The keyboard has a slightly "spongy" feel, but far superior to most laptop keyboards, especially those in the ultra-thin/light category. This does make the T490 slightly thicker than the competition, but that's a trade-off that I'm willing to make in order to get a nice keyboard. The unit is pleasantly light, and is a good travel companion. I'm glad someone still makes a laptop that allows you to easily upgrade RAM and SSD. Great as a Linux platform--everything (except the fingerprint reader) including the NVidea video card works out of the box with POP/Ubuntu.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My New Thinkpad My new T490 is the latest in a long series of Thinkpad T models that I've owned. I've enjoyed them all; what I like best about the T series is the little Trackpoint stick controller in the middle of the keyboard. This protects me from having to use the Trackpad. I've never been able to master the latter because of an age-related peristent tremor. Another great advantage of the T490 is that both its storage memory and operating membory is all solid state. It seems faster and is surely more durable than conventional hard drives. The Thunderbolt and USB-C connectors keep up with the trend, but the doumentation regarding their use is deficient. The advertising makes great claims for them -- they can do everything -- but I haven't got any idea how to use them.

This machine rocks, has the best keyboard and can perform everything I need. Improvements I would like to see in future models are three: better sound quality and volume, less heat and, finally, a way to avoid so many fingerprints so easy. Thanks!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The T490 is a fantastic machine! This is a great laptop. The "low power" version of the FHD IPS display looks great, and goes significantly brighter than the base display. I do wish there was a second M.2 slot for another SSD as that would simplify future expansion. With this configuration the plain T laptop has effectively replaced the 'S' version - the differences are minimal and I'm not sure why anyone would choose the S over this.

The battery life is a lot better than the T460 I had. The only thing that could be improved is the weight of the power adapter, which is a lot more heavier than the power adapter of T460.

Only 2 PCI lanes for SSD instead of 4, so it's gonna be slower. 3. The glare from the glassy screen.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Good Machine I got the T490 with 10th gen of CPU, which came with a 3-year warranty. The machine feels steady, opens fast, works great as expected. It is pretty light and easy to be carried around even though I don't need to right now due to the Covid. I am glad to choose this version since it has backlit keyboard (which can be switched on/off so that it is convenient to work in a dark environment. My primary plan of using this machine is for study. Got the unit a few weeks ago. It should last long enough for my graduate program. One last thing, as other reviews mentioned already, the fan does give out a slight noise, but it seems not annoying to me so far.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice laptop that's a great value when it's on sale I bought this laptop on a Black Friday sale for over 50% off and at that price it's a very nice laptop. Full price, probably not so much. It's fast, is very thin and light but yet it doesn't seem flimsy. Keyboard is excellent for a laptop, with good sized keys and a nice tactic feel. Doesn't get very warm even when worked hard. Display is bright but lacks contrast so the colors appear a little watered down. Battery life is about average.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Darn close to being an X1 Carbon This is my new primary work laptop. After using gen 1 and gen 2 X1 Carbons forever, this machine feels very similar. It's not quite at thin or light, but it's not bad. Screen and keyboard layout are identical making the switch easy. It could use an extra USB C port on the right side, but otherwise has all of the ports you'd typically need. Battery life is good, but I haven't used it long enough to comment other than 7 hrs seems easily achieved. Thermal management is excellent and it is rare to hear any fan noise whatsoever. The screen works great under a variety of lighting conditions and the matte finish keeps reflections to a minimum. Fingerprint reader is quick, the BIOS is easy to use, and overall the machine is the same typically solid build you'd expect from a Lenovo business machine. Like other Lenovo's, the surface is easy to grip, easy to clean, but does attract marks easily.

I've experience much quicker response times while working in software like Management Studio and Visual Studio. Crystal clear display and nice sound quality from the built in speakers make it also nice for use outside of work. The initial startup/setup of the laptop was also very quick and easy to follow, and aside from downloading and installing non standard, work related software, I was up and running in no time!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Major flaw with the design of the touch pad The T490 is a disaster. I chose it because of the strong reviews on T470 and T480. Basically the frame below the trackpad is too narrow and as a result, after my upgrade, the bottom panel cannot be fully closed. My rating is based on my experience with opening the unit and upgrading the SSD, which was free of any issue. However, either the material is not of high quality (as compared to the X1) or the intention to squeeze in a larger touch pad had made the upgraded unit an eyesore. For those of you who are considering it, if you do not intend to open the bottom panel ever, then you can skip this review.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Died after four days Received this laptop brand new from Lenovo on June 11 and set it up. Really liked it at first--fast boot times with the stellar Lenovo keyboard. On June 15, left it to do some updates through the Lenovo Vantage app, and returned to find it completely dead and unresponsive. No screen light, no response to the power button or any keys, nothing at all. I'm not sure what happened--maybe a BIOS update failed?--but I'm back to relying on my old T410 from 2011 while this one is returned for a refund--here's hoping Lenovo customer service will stand behind their products, which historically have been of such a high quality I've never needed to contact service or tech support for all the years I've been using the T-series. Maybe I'll try a P-series instead, but I don't think I want this model when mine died completely after less than a week. I found at least one user online who had the same thing happen to them at the same time as me--I would advise all buyers to think twice about purchasing this model until Lenovo fixes whatever is going on with it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent features and Reliable Laptop From 2012 onwards I am using Lenovo Think Pad. My first version is Lenovo T440. Till today it is working and my children's are using. I bought T480 in the year 2017 and gifted to my wife. Now I bought T490. Lenovo Think pads are Light weight with strong performance. I found they are very reliable for home usage. For home user the initial investment is high. Since the failure rates are very less and reliable performance. No frequent replacement of Laptops required. Hence the investment can be easily recovered by long time or period of usage. Also the Laptops are sleek in design, Light weight. The Keyboards have a matte, smooth surface and are slightly concave. This also makes typing on this keyboard very comfortable. System performance very good for everyday operation. No crashes and abnormalities observed. For me even though the Lenovo ThinkPad T490 is a very good business laptop as a long time usage it can be best suitable for Home usage.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from T490 Fast and capable Overall the T490 seems like a great machine. There are marked improvements in fit and finish vs older Lenovo machines I'm familiar with, the L440 comes to mind. The newer track pad is a definite improvement over those and the overall build quality seems higher. It has a lot of features that you would come to expect in a T series machine. I'm a bit confused as to why a laptop that doesn't convert into a tablet would need a touchscreen, but no one said I had to use it. Technically my work purchased this machine for me and I had hoped for a P series, but the T490 is still a great box. It's definitely a major upgrade over my T430 that this replaces. Boot times with the NVMe drive and 16GBs of ram are so quick. Kind of wish they'd opted for a slightly larger drive as well, but hey I didn't have to pay for it so beggars can't be choosers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exactly what I wanted Had the laptop for less than a week so far, but I know I made the right choice. The thing that sets this laptop apart for me is the keyboard. Any laptop maker can build something with all of the same internal components that I got on this one, but no one else is making laptops anymore with keys with decent travel. Plus, I'm a fan of the red dot mouse thing. I can hear it working to cool itself when I have it connected to a couple monitors (one 4k, another 1080p, but I haven't noticed any apps slowing down or any other performance lags.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great, with 1 Glaring and 1 Minor Complaint Everything is perfect, with two exceptions; The WiFi connection keeps dropping out. Sometimes it happens while the unit is turned on and in use, and often it happens when I close the lid and re-open it in a different location, but with a WiFi connection that ti knows and has been told to connect to automatically. The only remedy I have found is to restart the machine. Annoying! 2. Minor - I wish this had been available in Silver. Do not mind the Black, but I HATE how it shows fingerprint/hand oil smudges. Just looks unsightly. They would not show on a Silver unit. (I've had one...)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice build, slow and small touchpad The laptop looks amazing and the built has a nice touch. I really like the very bright screen, that can be used even in bright light situations. I found my model to be quite slow to be honest, and the small touchpad ended up being very difficult to use, even though I mostly use the keyboard, the few times I have to interact with applications through the pointer I really struggled.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great laptop but not the cheapest. I use it for school and some light gaming. I get it with the mx250 and it will run GTA 5 at 720. I also get the WQHD screen which looks amazing I would say it is worth the price to get that screen. It looks better then my sister 4k HP screen when playing videos. I get it with only 8gb ram and 128gb ssd. I get a 500gb Samsung Evo plus ssd and 8 gb more ram from amazon and saved a lot of money plus I have an extra m.2 ssd. It was very easy to install Lenovo has videos on YouTube on how to do it. Overall it is a great laptop the only thing that is not perfect is the thinkpad sticker on the front which is a bit messed up otherwise it is perfect.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great work laptop One of the best Lenovo T series I've used. As thin as the S version of the tanks they used to produce, but with all the power and notably connections. I've been using a different laptop brand for about 1/2 a decade, and am so happy to come back. I researched almost everything, and kept coming back to this laptop, so I took the plunge.Keyboard is responsive and satisfying- no flex or odd button placements. It has a physical camera shutter- no more black electrical tape. I picked up the better screen, and it is really something special. Can't fault Lenovo for Windows problems- I think we all know who to blame on that front. Hardware is quick and light- never gets too hot, and feels a third the weight of most "gaming" laptops. I didn't buy this for games, so I'm not too concerned about graphics, where I wanted the rest of the gaming laptop horsepower. This laptop delivers. I'm back on the Lenovo train.

I kept the last two for five years each. That's a long time to keep a machine but their performance lasted. I just upgraded from the T420s on Windows 7 to T490 because I needed Windows 10. After a week's use, I'm very pleased with my purchase. I trust the Lenovo ThinkPad product and am especially pleased with their keyboards. The fact that most offices that supply laptops to their employees are ThinkPads, says a lot about their reliability.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love my new T490 I'm a 20 year IT Professional and have had many different models of laptops during that time. I wanted the thinnest business class laptop I could find with an on-board Ethernet port for connecting to switches and networking equipment to configure them. My new Lenovo ThinkPad T490 more than exceeded my expectations. My model has a quad-core i7 8565U CPU and 16GB of Ram, and 500GB SSD. The laptop is solidly built, and the keyboard is the best I've ever used on a notebook. It feels like I'm typing on a a regular sized keyboard, and I've yet to experience the mouse jumping around when typing due to poorly designed trackpad with less than optimal palm rest rejection. I opted for the touchscreen as I use that a lot. I've only used it for two hours on battery but after two hours I still had 80% battery left.

Luckily, I got it from Costco with discounted price - $1099 for 8 GB memory and 256 GB SSD. The delivery was fast. The laptop looks great, compact and solid. As expected, the 14" screen is just right size to me and typing on the keyboard just like typing on a standard one. With $60, I extended the memory to 24 GB. Later, I may extend the SSD to a large size when needed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beware - No Chat Feature or Number for support The T490 is a beautiful and sleek machine. It's my second second laptop from Lenovo. I've had it for about 6 weeks. However, there's already an issue. If the unit is used for an hour or so, the display randomly starts going black twice (kind of like blinking) within one second per occurrence. And this is happening quite a lot. I'd like to return the unit for exchange since it is brand new. So I left a immediate-call-back-request online at Lenovo USA with no response yet. There is no chat feature for US buyers! No Phone number to call. Buyer beware!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My first Lenovo Just getting started setting up this new laptop. I have been eyeing Lenovo for years and finally did the right thing. The #1 attraction was a robust keyboard. Yes, I am finding it excellent! #2 was the non-metallic chassis. exactly as expected! #3 Good battery life. Well it is quite decent; but not excellent, and this is the reason for the docked star. #4 a decent screen for crisp text display. This screen IS decent but not excellent. Max-brightness is surprisingly...dark. But for spreadsheets and other text-dominated business work, I see no problem with this whatsoever. This is my first computer with only a 15 watt processor. After comparing benchmarks to some higher wattage chips I already own, I decided to step down my wattage in exchange for a cooler-running system and more battery life. I'm marveling at how business-oriented everything seems. All the settings are here, the on-by-default bitlocker, the fingerprint scanner which is perfectly integrated with Windows, the option to not charge while on AC for extended periods of time, and on and on and on. Like a kid in a candy shop, I'm still wading through settings, establishing an ideal configuration for my use case. Of course this wading is optional. You can just open it and use it to get your work done... but I am that way.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A delightful programming workbench TL;DR: After using this ThinkPad T490 machine daily for over a month, I find it delightly satisfying my needs of a well-built portable programming workbench with adequate battery life and computing power. The reservations I had before making the purchase (e.g., only one upgradable DIMM slot, no bridge battery system) turn out to be not an issue after using it for awhile. I would recommend this machine to fellow programmers. Configuration: Intel i7-8665U, 14" FHD with multitouch, 512GB NVMe SSD, 16GB soldered-on RAM. Although the Lenovo website did not specify this at the time I purchased this, I am delighted that the configuration is "16GB soldered-on" instead of "8GB soldered-on + 8GB DIMM", thus leaving the DIMM slot available for installing another DIMM unit. After installing a 32GB DDR4 DIMM, the operating system (Linux) successfully detect a total of 48GB memory space, plenty for my needs. I purchased this machine as my daily personal workhorse for programming, study, and media editing/consumption (1080p video playback and occasional audio/video editing); I run Linux (the Arch Linux distribution) on it. Before I purchased it, I had concerns about the following points comparing to a ThinkPad T480 unit from work. - Only 1 upgrade DIMM slot, comparing to 2 slots in T480. - No bridge battery system. T490 won in the following aspects over T480: - Newer/better processor. - Slightly lighter. - The battery supports Rapid Charge. After using this T490 for over a month, I do not miss the memory and bridge battery system as I originally thought. Space-wise, 48GB (16 soldered-on + 32 DIMM) is plenty for my needs, and the theoretical issue of loss of loss of dual-channel DIMM performance (https://serverfault.com/a/912298) have no perceivable effect for my use (since I am not running RAM heavy workloads on it). With a generic type-C power bank I purchased elsewhere online, I have not found myself needing the bridge battery system on older ThinkPad models. The typing experience on the keyboard and the trackpoint are stellar as usual; all my personal laptops (T480, T550, W530, T520, T510i, X61s) are ThinkPads mainly because of the keyboard/trackpoint. In summary, this machine satisfies my needs for a well-built portable programming workbench.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice product I bought this at the end of August and I’m happy to see the laptop t490 with touchable screen. Besides, the customer services are really helpful and patient, giving me advice on how to keep my order from cancellations. T-series thinkpad is a good fit for engineers doing computational works, and do not hesitate to have one at such a lower price!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from New T490 PrivacyGuard I have received my latest Thinkpad, which is T490 PrivacyGuard. Haven't had time yet to exploit it fully and to transfer all my files from older Thinpads (T430 and T450). So far, the laptop looks good and sturdy. It is also smaller and lighter than my older laptops :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lightweight, fast, and a great keyboard It's only been a week but so far I'm very impressed. I've been using ThinkPads for over 20 years. This replaced my aging T420 which lasted longer than most laptops and still works, just outdated and sluggish. In comparison, the T490 is lightweight, thin, FAST, and while I thought I'd miss my old beloved keyboard, this one is great (other than adapting to some key position changes). ThinkPads have always had great keyboards and, as a writer, that's critical. This is no different.

My only issue is that, so far, within the 2 weeks that I have been using the laptop, there has been 2 instances where I plug in the charger, but the charging icon does not show up and the system appears to be not charging. The issue got resolved both of the times by just restarting the system. I may have to check on it if it keeps on happening again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Disappointing I am very disappointed in my purchase. I haven't had it a week and the screen flickers and goes black. The touch pad and pointer are super glitchy with actions performing even though I'm just moving the pointer and not clicking on anything. The start up time from sleep mode is a little long as well. I am also disappointed in the memory. My other Lenovo had a D drive as well that handled most of the stock programs leaving the C drive for my programs and storage. I hope I don't run out of storage as I had planned to use this computer to transfer my VHS home movies to digital...I had a very bad experience with external storage and really didn't want to go that route again. It is a little heavier and thicker than what I thought it would be but that is on me. So far battery life seems good but I have not used it much d/t the afore mentioned problems.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super Fast, Super Easy Just purchased to replace my T450s and it's been a super easy process. The only downside is that, because of the new dock style, I had to also upgrade my dock but that was really the worst part. Lenovo makes things easy by keeping things consistent. The keyboard layout and feel, the footprint of the laptop, all consistent. Really easy transition so far.

It is very hard to move your fingers specifically when you finger is little sweaty. Touchpad is not smooth at all. And it gets freeze time to time and requires few seconds to get normal. Screen resolution is average. Performance is also average. I used HP Elitebook from employer and it is far better than this in all ways.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A great companion for years to come I have this laptop for as little as one week and I already feel something special about it, it's like LENOVO surely was very mindful about their design choices. From the professional design look, the lightweight and resistant pieces to the best typing experience I've ever witnessed on any laptop, I am more than happy, I feel good for every penny spent here. It came with Windows installed, so I easily shrank the partition and immediately setup my DUAL BOOT with an Elementary OS Linux distribution and things are running so smoothly! This laptop experience is highly customizable. For example, the BIOS interface is very friendly, so you can tweak it and in a few moments you'll feel like things were made just for you. Do you want to swap the "Fn Key" with the "Ctrl Key"? In online reviews, this is one of the biggest complains about ThinkPads, but in less than a minute it can be solved, because in a click of a mouse anyone can toggle this very user friendly option in the BIOS and it's done. In fact, these minor complains are the only bad things reviewers say about ThinkPads. This is my first ThinkPad and I am starting to understand in practice why this is such a traditional and successful series of LENOVO. Amazing SPECS, great resilience, quality pieces (keyboard, screen), highly customizable capabilities... I am sure this laptop will be a great companion for years to come.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from As Expected Lenovo Thinkpad T490 Specs: - 16 GB RAM - HD display - core i7-8565U up to 4.1 gHz i think - with the fingerprint sensor - 256 GB SSD storage - retro-iluminated keyboard - NVIDIA MX250 graphics Bought the laptop about a month and a half or so and it took a while to get to my address, mainly because it was in the customs office for about a week. When the product finally arrived it was in pretty good conditions. The graphics are pretty decent, runs rocket league 50-60 fps pretty nicely, it does create a good amount of heat on the right side but it’s not much to worry about. The display once in a while sort of starts blinking when it’s on the lockscreen, I believe it’s some issue with the fingerprint scanner since it sort of thinks that a finger is in the scanner and just says wrong, i have to enter my pin when that happens. Overall it has served pretty well all my general purposes, it runs the Unity Game Engine pretty well as well as Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code. The battery charges up pretty fast, haven’t had the time to test the battery (i bought the smallest battery capacity). The keyboard is pretty great, i really like the way it feels and I sometimes use the trackpoint.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works as well as a one month old laptop should It's kind of hard to review an item that longevity is one of the most important factors after one month. So with that in mind, the laptop so far works very well. I was looking for a laptop that was high quality enough that I could upgrade it when it started to get old and slow down so that I could (potentially) get several years out of it. Well Lenovo makes that very difficult now (at least among ThinkPads) but this model has one unused ram slot so that makes me feel a little better about it. It's fast and gets great battery life (which all one month old laptops should) and the material itself feels like pretty good quality. A couple annoying things though are that when you unplug/plug in the charger the display turns off for a second or 2 and it also remains unresponsive for an annoyingly long time after being woken up from screen saver. So far those are my only complaints, everything else is great.

It also has the ability to wire directly into a LAN but that is only at about 100 mbps. The only feature I wish it had is a 10 key pad also. It is fast and has a long battery life. I can usually go all day without charging it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Does what it should. Love my new T490. It's everything I expect from a computer designed to help me get work done. I love the feel of the keyboard. The design is starting to look a little bit dated, and I'm not sure anyone uses the signature joy-stick on these things anymore. But so far, it feels pretty close to my last Macbooks from work, and costs a lot less.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I hoped for so much more and got... I upgraded to this laptop after my previous 4 year old Lenovo was feel slow and the screen a little too slow. Unfortunately, I have found the performance of this machine not notably faster than my 4 year old laptop. I also find that frequently I type and letters somehow don't appear despite my clearly hitting the keyboard. The battery life is realistically 1.5 - 2 hours, no where near what I was thinking I'd get (4+ hours). Besides the bigger screen size the only thing I like more about this laptop versus the old one was the fact that I can easily access the SD card slot (previous one was tucked behind the hing of the screen).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A perfect, well rounded laptop. I'm glad I chose the t490 over the X1 Carbon, if only because the t490 is already pretty slimmed down. But your still getting that thinkpad reliability and all the ports and abilities it has plus some areas you can later change or customize if you wish. It feels solid, there's no give in the keyboard. The exterior feels nice, albeit easy to get dirty. Easily the best laptop I've ever owned.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from ThinkPad T490 This laptop exceeded my expectations. I’m coming over from a Mac and I specifically wanted a laptop with similar or better build quality, which was a major factor in choosing a ThinkPad. After weeks of research, I decided on this model because of a combination specs and portability. I use this for general productivity, web browsing, and light streaming - nothing too intense and this laptop is more than fast enough to handle the tasks. I do wish Lenovo kept the external battery option like the T480, but it’s not a huge deal break for me. I have a power bank to replace that. Upgradeability is good too if I decide to add more RAM. Overall, this machine is more than adequate for my needs. For those on the fence, it’s worth it and you won’t regret the purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Investment. Awesome Keyboard. I've been using my Thinkpad since Christmas, and so far no complaints whatsoever! I use a laptop mainly for writing, and the reason I got the Thinkpad over other laptops with the same specs is because of the rave reviews on the keyboard. So while this had all the processing power and requirements I wanted, the keyboard is what sold it for me, and I'm glad to say everyone was right! This keyboard, while I had to take just a day or so to adjust to it, has been amazing. I love the tactile way it responds. Other features I appreciate are the blue light timer at night so it cuts out that harsh glare when I'm an insomniac and wanting to write. Also, something I thought I wouldn't care for, but ended up loving: the touch ID feature. I hate having to constantly type in passwords, so having that little fingerprint scanner to forgo the windows 10 password is awesome. Honestly, I'm still finding little but fun things about the Thinkpad that I enjoy, and I'm sure that after I get done finding all the personalization tools I'm going to be hopped up on happy endorphins. This was a great investment. I'd recommend it to anyone. Now the hope is that I still feel the same way in a few months!

I would buy again. Thanks Lenovo!

I do use my laptops as true laptops thus upgraded to the T series (T490 and have already noticed the build quality difference between consumer model and business model.

The price difference was much for the upgrade, also included all the bells and whistles on new model (IR, BIO SSHD etc.) Hopefully this machines last 3plus years.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better lATE doesn't apply I finally hit their order button on cyber Monday only to get THREE apologetic order delayed emails over the next week. So I followed the emailed instructions to cancel my order which Lenovo quickly acknowledged, very pleasant surprise (9:07AM). Shortly thereafter (1:45PM), an email provided my shipment tracking number! As for the t490, extremely light weight & compact (it requires adjustment from the 22" dual monitor work provided configuration). Super fast booting & simple finger login. Definitely an upgrade in spite of the screen dimensions. Could possibly be a 5-star if it connected to the external monitor I ordered with it but the CS support is lacking.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from T490 w/Windows 10 - SWEET system This is my 5th Thinkpad laptop. Along with the 2 Lenovo desksides I have I believe this is the best yet. I was apprehensive about Windows 10 but the set up and the file transfer but this was EASY. The only surprise was with Windows 10, if you tie your Microsoft account to the system at setup the name your Admin user get is the 1st 5 digits of your email address. PIA but not a Lenovo issue, just a quirk of Windows 10. I easily got the system set up with the tutorial and it is SWEET. I love everything about the T490, great display, nice keyboard layout and feel, Lenovo Advantage lets you see what updates you need, .... It is a GREAT computer. It is replacing a T450 and is half the weight and has 2x the battery life, pretty impressive. Now I just have to figure out the nuances of Windows 10. I highly recommend this product if you are looking for a powerful, lightweight laptop. It will do everything you need for home and business.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Extremely Disappointed The thinkpad review: Received the laptop a few days ago and after some initial joy I have been regretting this purchase. Being a long time thinkpad user I have come to expect a certain level of quality from the thinkpad name. I have previously owned/used a T61p and most recently a T440s, so I use my thinkpads for a long time before replacing them. I liked the price point of the T490 and was impressed by the specifications and ultimately was swayed by the high resolution and color accurate display. The spec I purchased for those wondering: i7 10510U 16GB of RAM 512GB SSD 1440p IPS Display I have yet to do any real work on the laptop but I am shocked at the lack of power of this machine. I expected a significant amount more performance from a 10th generation i7 coming off the back of the 4th generation i5 in my old T440s. Perhaps intel is to blame for this pathetic showing, but have we really progressed this little in the last 7 years? The thermal solution seems to be worse than in the T440s and I can't figure out why. Surely 6 generations of improvements on the CPU architecture will have created some power efficiency improvements (and therefore become more thermally performant, but I can't seem to find any. This machine is positively volcanic on my lap, I can't believe it runs so hot watching a stream or just when watching a YouTube video. The same issues I was experiencing with my T440s are unfortunately present on the new machine. It's slow to go full screen on videos and has difficult doing the smallest of actions like displaying info in the Task Manager or tracking my inputs on the trackpoint/trackpad. I cannot believe it has frozen on me in just my first few days of use, this feels inexcusable for a new laptop to do. Perhaps windows is to blame here, but I can't make so many excuses considering my windows desktop is so much snappier, all the while a few generations older. To add to my woes the laptop has been utterly disastrous at updating. Not sure what Lenovo loads up into their flavor of windows, but it seems to be out of date. The computer had several windows updates pending out of the box, more than I was expecting. It bluescreened on the windows feature update and wasted about an hour of my time undoing the changes. That has to be a new record, not one but two bluescreens in the first week of ownership. Enough doom and gloom, lets focus on some of the positives. The screen is fantastically bright and colorful, one of the best I've seen in a laptop. The keyboard and build quality are excellent and what you'd expect from a thinkpad. That's where my praise ends though, the screen is really the only exceptional part of this device. Overall thoughts: Pros: -Best in class screen -Same thinkpad keyboard and build that I like Cons: -Dangerously hot under light workloads -Fan is whiny, seems incapable of keeping the machine cool -Poor CPU performance, does not feel like a laptop should in 2020 -Speakers are lacking in bass and general clarity -Fingerprint sensor is inaccurate -Battery life is underwhelming even at low brightness/resolution -Trackpad material is not easy to move fingers across -Software is seemingly unstable (may not be fault of Lenovo) I will continue to use this machine for another week or so before deciding whether to return it or not.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lightweight and slick! I got a newer Thinkpad for work and enjoyed using it so much that I decided to get myself a Lenovo for personal use. I love everything except that the on/off button is on the side of the laptop instead of on top (like on my work one. The button is small and kind of awkward to turn on. That's my only gripe about it.

Even runs name brand CAD and solid modeling software with minimal issues. Build quality is good, and it’s very light. I think the USB-c mini docking station is a must if you run more than one screen.

The size is great with crystal clear display and Lenovo absolutely makes the best keyboards...hands down! I can type in silence very comfortably despite the small, efficient size of the unit. This is great! Would definitely recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Happy with it I got my new laptop ThinkPad T490 Intel Core i5-10210U Processor (1.60GHz 6MB) 35.6cm (14.0 in) "FHD IPS AntiGlare LED Backlight 1920 x 1080 8.0GB DDR4-2400 DDR4 SDRAM 2400MHz 256GB SSD M.2 PCIe Intel UHD Graphics NFC IR camera, RGB 720p HD camera and microphone, Think privacy shutter with IR: VGA max (640 x 480), RGB: HD 720p max (1280 x 720) Fingerprint device Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX 201 2*2ax+BT5.0 PCIE NonvPro M.2 the look is very cool and chic. Before placing order I read a different reviews about different laptops. I narrowed down to ThinkPad and to T series… and T490. I visited the Lenovo store and checked the things I needed to feel in real-life. It was the one I wanted. My previous laptop was 1.7kg and this one is 1.55. It feels lights even though there is only like 150 grams difference. Battery: I don’t empty the battery. When the battery charged around 80 percent it takes like 5 to 6 hours to get to 30 percent so I am happy with the battery performance. Charging is quick but the issue is that laptop at the bottom and keyboard around keys S, D gets hot when charging… you don’t want to keep the machine on your lap. However, the good thing is that cooling system is good and doesn’t take that long to bring the temperature back to normal. I have got 45 watt charger. It charges fast but it get very hot. The laptop under the normal load like office works, video watching or browsing is very quit and doesn’t get warm or anything. Under heavy load however it gets very warm and the fan starts making some noise. I cannot hear any electronic noise or coil whining from my laptop. The keyboard: it is classic keyboard. I have worked with different brands but this one is excellent. Deep key travel and precise mechanism. Backlit is so cooool. Some people complain about the Fn and Ctrl keys switching their positions. At the beginning it was a bit uncomfortable but after few days it became normal. One issue that I have with the keyboard is that I couldn’t have only English keyboard. Mine is English/Korean. For the lower model it was optional to have English/Korean keyboard but not this one. CPU performance is very good for me. I ran difference tests, all pleasing for me. GPU is Intel it is good enough for me since I am not into graphic works. The display is 250nits and it is fine for me. But If you are into video and photo editing you better get something with higher nits. This one is not for you. Overall I am happy with the laptop and enjoying working with it every day. I do recommend if you are not photo and video editing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good solid machine I got the i5 with 16 GB of memory, and a 500 GB SSD drive. It's fast enough for my general use, lightweight, and the screen is excellent. I like the keyboard feel, sligtly "clicky." Battery life appears to be about as good as advertised, which is Great. I like how easy it is to update drivers and firmware from the Lenovo website. (My previous Thinkpad was an old E420 so this is quite a step up. I've probably had six diff Thinkpads, including those issued by employers over the years.) Sometimes I wish it had the fingerprint login, but not a big deal. Overall it's an excellent machine and the only two annoyances that come to mind are that the surface of the case shows greasy fingerprints that a less porous surface might not. And, you always have to use two hands to open it as the hinge is rather stiff. Maybe this will improve with use. I would recommend this to a friend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Updates and adaptation At first, there are a lot of updates and messages that you’ll need read through. Take the time to personalize your notification settings. The touchpad is sensitive and may take some getting use to.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great laptop! Avoid low end screen!!!!! Very fast and portable, but would avoid the 768 screen. Spend a little more for a higher resolution screen.
