[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very durable build and extremely nice keyboard. My only complaints are the trackpad and the low amount of memory that is installed (8 gigs) with no extra SODIMM slots. The trackpad is ok but its definitely not as smooth as laptop with a glass pad such as a Latitude 7000 series. Overall great machine however, I recently returned it because I got a outstanding deal on a T14 with an extra SODIMM slot and a Zen 2 Ryzen processor.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I often work using many programs/apps at once, and this pc keeps up. My last pc was a Lenovo, and that one was also beyond my expectations as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased a ThinkPad T495s for college, and so far I am extremely pleased with it.
Pros:
Very lightweight.
Battery life easily hits 8-9+ usable hours.
Charges up fast.
Keyboard is extremely responsive and backlighting looks nice.
Trackpad and trackpoint both feel great and natural to use.
Fingerprint reader is very fast and accurate.
Matte finish screen looks great and is very clear with no glare.
VERY FAST regarding bootup, opening programs, web browsing, basically everything. Installing Windows updates is no longer a painfully-long process.
The AMD CPU and GPU combo is more than enough power for general use and a terrific value.
The fan only runs when it needs to, creating a very quiet experience.
Great variety of ports.

Cons:
Advertised with 8 GB of RAM, the usable portion of that RAM is only 5.9 GB. A whole 2.1 GB is considered "Hardware Reserved." I haven't attempted to alter this, but it may be possible to change this in the BIOS, and it may also be shared by the Radeon Vega graphics.
Top bezel is a little thick.
No dedicated media pause/skip/playback keys.
The speakers leave quite a bit to be desired, but I view the vast majority of media with headphones so it isn't an issue.
Lower left CTRL and FN keys are switched, but the included Lenovo Vantage software allows them to be remapped.

Overall, I am very satisfied. This laptop is a good value and focuses on practicality over gimmicks, a great design philosophy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I suppose I should give it more time to make sure, but I love this laptop! It's lightweight but sturdy, fast, and bright enough to see while outside (and with vision problems--it's hard to find a laptop that has brightness/contrast for vision difficulties). I really love it! I'm writing my dissertation, and it can easily handle the many programs, tabs, pdfs, etc I have to keep open all the time.
