[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was replacing an aging E-series system that my 79 yr old mother uses. I really wanted a T-series based upon my experiences with my work laptop. The T490 did not disappoint. I love the ergonomics of the machine, keyboard layout and the feel of the keys. I chose 8G of memory with one slot open for expansion. One of key decision points was that the memory could be expanded. The M.2 drive is very fast. Boot up is 1/10th of the time of the E-series. Add in WiFi-6 and we're good for another 6-8 years. There's minimum bloatware and nags on start-up. Thanks Lenovo for a wonderful machine and buying direct experience.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a grade A solid laptop. I got this for beefing up my programming chops on the go, and it's delightful. Fast, great keyboard, and the little nub is pretty nice to once you get the hang of it. Love the USB-C for power, less cables to carry around. I like how closing the lid will put it to sleep and then hibernate after some time, which is nice cause I don't have to worry about needing to turn it off (running Windows 10 Pro).
Screen is a little glossy but never distracting, though it does give you some decent real estate when it comes to modern program UI. Track pad seems nice but I disabled that because I kept brushing it with my hands, but then again I do a lot of keyboard work.
It's missing a graphics card but the integrated one seems fine enough for anything a nin-gamer would want to do. It supports standard graphics APIs so you can still program for it just fine.
Love it!

Bought to replace a 13 yr old T410. Really like the HDMI port so I can hook it to a TV to Zoom.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If I had to describe the T490 in 2 words they would be, "Amazing speed!". This computer has some of the most smooth, polished experience of any laptop I've had before. It's high quality feel and look make it beautiful to look at aswell! Overall highly recommended as a work laptop, if you want to play 3d video games like Fortnite or any 3d game made in the past 5 years this computer is not for you as the graphics card is severely lacking. However this computer isn't really meant for that do 5 stars overall!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy with my new Thinkpad. Shipping was fast and it is soooo much faster than my only computer. The only thing I've been disappointed with so far is the Lenovo mouse I bought to go with it.
