[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great looking unit. However, at au$1700 price tag it should have a basic keyboard backlight!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Lenovo ThinkPad T490 has a keyboard that makes typing effortless. It is both quiet and gentle. You just have to experience it to fully understand...but to me, that's one of the features that sets this beauty apart from other laptop brands.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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 This replaced my aging T420 which lasted longer than most laptops and still works, just outdated and sluggish.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.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using ThinkPads for almost six years at work. When it was time to buy a personal laptop, it was an easy choice. These machines are well-built and durable. I love the performance and ease-of-use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing keyboard, durable but lightweight feel, and flexibility for future expansions (both RAM and SSD) if I find I need more space.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A solidly constructed laptop with plenty of memory and processing power for work and home. Best keyboard of any laptop I've used. This computer is not designed for gaming or watching videos, so it doesn't excel in those activities.
