Though this is not a long term usage review, it might be useful to some buyers. I have used the T490 laptop for about a couple of weeks now. Some of the things I want to highlight: Pros: - Performance wise it's quite fast - Strong built quality - Decent battery life - No strain on eyes - And many other good features which you could find easily on internet.
Though there is no specific turnoff for me, I want to mention that some features could have been better: - it could have been slightly lighter - Some people will take time to get used to the touchpad (combined with the buttons)
I have not checked any other aspect of the laptop, as I use it for official work only. Overall, I did not find any major flaw till now.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fantastic laptop. It does everything I need and more! Lightning fast loading times. I've never once been bored while waiting for something to load.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this laptop however, the trackpad need some improvement. It doesn't feel as nice some other laptops (i.e.the macbooks) and it makes a sound as you run your finger across it. I believe it needs to feel smoother. I do like the keyboard though and the large shift key.
These are reliable business grade products. Compared to what you buy at box stores, this will last for years with readily available parts, unlike some consumer grade stuff.
[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.] This computer is absolutly the best computer you can buy, exept for one minor thing that I didn't liked but wasn't a mayor issue, the keyboard is not backlit.
Pros: Great performance, batery life and the device is light
