[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great computer for a great price. We switched to Lenovo computers 5 years ago and are extremely pleased with the quality and reliability of Lenovo's machines.
So much faster than my old laptop and very lightweight!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this laptop to replace a Lenovo laptop my employer purchased in 2011 and had given to me when I left the company a couple years later. I recently decided it was time to have updated technology and opted to stick with Lenovo because the first one lasted so long and I never had a problem with it (it’s still running). This laptop has everything I need and works great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this laptop for my mom, and we both loved it. I have been using a T480 for few years. This T490 is such an upgrade! It's lighter, slimmer, and the keys feel great. I'm sure it also performs as reliably as my T480. Now I want to buy a T490 for myself.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love these computers and keep making sure to buy Lenovo when we need a new one. Thinkpads run great and we never run into issues. Our company runs on Lenovo and yours should too!
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).
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
