This is a cool looking laptop with a nice feel but it is really slow
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the flexibility of the T490. It’s light and slim—so it’s easy to take on a trip. It’s also solid enough to work in the office. There are so many great features. The touch screen is awesome. This is my 4th Think Pad, and my favorite. Great product!
[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.] ThinkPad T490 is our fourth Lenovo. I was having major charging problems( plugin port) with my last different brand computer. Which by the way WASN'T a Lenovo. Made a really dumb mistake and bought it on the recommendations of a friend. Long story short, after a year in a half, I went back to Lenovo. Shouldn't left to begin with. Won't happen again. This laptop is great. Fast, backlit keyboard, long battery life. What else can you ask for a business computer. Use it all the time for my online store. Handles Office Business well. Use it everyday. Don't make the same mistake I did. Buy Lenovo and your won't regret it.
