I used a number of laptops in 2019, and this ended up being my overall favorite. No, it's not a big gaming beast with a mechanical keyboard and desktop GPU inside, nor is it an impossibly slim aluminum lifestyle accessory with zero connectivity. The Think...
Abstract: It's somewhat redundant to point out that the 15-inch MacBook Pro is seriously expensive, as that's simply par for the course with Apple. But, thankfully, it's also powerful enough to justify that price and ensure that it earns its keep when you're on the...

Thin, light but sturdy design, Pleasant spill-resistant keyboard with long travel and clicky feedback, Great I/O selection, Supports Thunderbolt, Charges with USB Type-C, Overperforming hardware
Gets pretty hot under heavy load, Micro SD instead of a full-sized SD card reader, High price
Apart from being one of the hottest ThinkPads on the market (literally) the ThinkPad T490s proved to be a very stable device. It has all of the security features that a ThinkPad owner might need. Additionally, it is thin and light (just 1.35 kg), which ma...
Sturdy and lightweight, Excellent keyboard, All-day battery life, Rapid charge support
Top-end configurations are expensive
Lenovo doesn't tinker with the basic design and usability of its ThinkPad laptops very much. So the keyboard here is as good as ever, being responsive and effortless to work with. Build quality and portability are attractions too, while long battery life...

Comfortable keyboard, Bright screen, Strong battery life, Lots of ports,
Average performance, Quiet audio, High price
The ThinkPad T490s is a perfect laptop for businesses or anyone who wants a bright screen while working exclusively on spreadsheets or other office software. It ultimately lacks the power, performance or audio for much else...
The Lenovo ThinkPad T490s is a pretty great laptop, and particularly so because I can't think of any real drawbacks to buying one. Perhaps the biggest con is the display, which is somewhat mediocre. Also, if the Dolby Vision option is like the T490 that I...
Excellent display and keyboard, Slimmest and lightest T-Series model, Rapid charging, Wide array of ports, Battery gets through full workday
Gets a bit warm on the bottom with heavy use
If you're a fan of Lenovo's T-Series, you'll love the new T490s. The company boasts that this may be its best business laptop in the series to date, and that's a fair assessment. The new ThinkPad model offers a variety of features and packs them into a sl...

sturdy and high-quality chassis, very good 1080p screen (matte, bright, almost full sRGB gamut), long battery runtime, excellent keyboard, quiet operation, very good system performance, WWAN-ready, 3-year warranty
worse maintenance options (RAM, Wi-Fi, keyboard), cooling worse compared to T480s, no more dedicated GPU, worse CPU performance compared to predecessor, slow response times of the panel, only microSD reader with awkward position, fan quickly reacts to lo
We could end our verdict at this point, but the situation is a little more complex when you compare the ThinkPad T490s with its predecessor and Lenovo's other 14-inch laptops. A look at the current portfolio of high-quality business devices shows that all...
Spacious keyboard, Superb colour accuracy, Broad choice of spec configurations
Sub-par webcam quality
So should you rush out and buy the T490s? If svelteness is your biggest consideration, take a little time to consider the X1 Carbon, which is 2mm thinner, offers even better battery life and weighs 1.1kg. But it's substantially more expensive; if you want...
Solid construction, High-quality display, Good battery life, Built-in security features, The classic design hasn't changed
Extension required for Ethernet connection, The classic design hasn't changed...
The Lenovo ThinkPad T490s means business. Look beyond the defiantly anachronistic stylings and you'll find a solid, reliable machine that offers a level of security beyond what most other consumer-grade devices can offer.A capable, powerful, and smart – i...
