[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the speed of this thing and the keyboard is very comfortable. I've had a Yoga II for many years now so it's great to have another Lenovo for work. The TrackPoint stick and buttons are the only things that I feel are superfluous, but they don't interfere with my work.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best laptop I've owned and I've been a heavy laptop user since 1998 using multiple brands including Apple.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] the best part of my purchase is not the laptop. It is the premier warranty. after 5 months of using, the SSD is not functioning, luckily I have the premier warranty in which Lenovo covers everything for me IN-SITE. I just need to arrange the location where I want to meet them. They order everything and bring it to you to fix the issue.
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.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this computer to replace my old T430s.
This T490 is lightweight and portable while still maintaining the computation power required for engineers. There weren't many unnecessary, pre-installed softwares on it when the laptop first arrived, which is a plus. The keyboard types smoothly, which I find increases my productivity. Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase.
Don't buy it, it is no longer support 2nd storage device like 2nd SSD...
Early T-series support 2nd HDD or SSD but not now. Battery not able change by the owner it is internal battery.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
