The T490s manages to have the familiar matte-black-slab ThinkPad look without coming off as clunky. It's a surprisingly light laptop that makes an excellent traveling companion. It won't give you a sore shoulder traipsing through airports, and its 14-inch display offers enough workspace to perform general office tasks effectively and without feeling cramped.

After fully recharging the laptop, we set up the machine in power-save mode (as opposed to balanced or high-performance mode) where available and make a few other battery-conserving tweaks in preparation for our unplugged video rundown test. (We also turn Wi-Fi off, putting the laptop in airplane mode.) In this test, we loop a video&mdash;a locally stored 720p file of the same Tears of Steel movie we use in our Handbrake trial&mdash;with screen brightness set at 50 percent and volume at 100 percent until the system conks out.

 In fact, the T490s is closer in weight to Lenovo's flagship ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 7. A similarly configured Carbon, however, costs $75 more than my ThinkPad T490s tester, while a comparable T490 is only $20 cheaper. With a price closer to its bulkier sibling, and a size and weight closer to the Carbon, the T490s could be your best 14-inch ThinkPad buy.

Lenovo ThinkPad T490s Review

My T420 is still working fine, to be totally honest. But due to a combination of age, a wonky ultrabay, and unsatisfactory battery life, I decided to buy a T490s while they were available for cheap. It arrived today. It's still sitting in the box.

I just plain didn't do my research. I didn't realize it didn't have an ethernet port (which I never use, but you know, what if). I didn't realize there wasn't a second slot for memory upgrades when the day comes that 16GB doesn't cut it. I didn't realize that thermals were becoming a problem. I finally bothered looking into all of this after decluttering my drive, deleting long unused firefox tabs, and realizing that my current computer is running pretty damn well (albeit on W7).

I'm not really sure what I'm asking of you. Talk me into keeping it. Talk me into returning it. Just give me something more to think about, please.

Got a T490s on Black Friday, and buyer's remorse is setting in.

 Not sure if that's specifically something I'll have to look for or if all modern computers will be up to the task. I'm in the US, looking for something <1K.

My Lenovo Thinkpad from nearly a decade ago hasn't been working too well for me lately, sometimes struggling with video calls and buffering videos. Also, it's graphics card isn't good enough to run a few games I'd like to play (Civ 6, Ori & the Blind Forest, Journey). Not sure if that's specifically something I'll have to look for or if all modern computers will be up to the task. I'm in the US, looking for something <1K

It seems that T490 gets a lot of hate in here. I would buy T480 instead but cant find any for a good price atm in my country. I could get a T490 for a decent deal and kind of like the slimmer design. Of course i would like the longer battery life of 480 but is there something else that I'm missing if going for a newer model?

Why shouldn't I get a T490?

I've been reading a bit about these, and I've seen that the RAM for T490+ are Soldered. The same happens for the XCarbon, but the T480 is not Soldered as far as I know. I wonder if it would be worth to buy a brand new T480 in 2020. What do you guys think?

Which one should I buy brand new? T480, T490, T490s?

I have a T440s that I have happily used for many many years. I really do love it. But, it is time for an upgrade.

At first, I was looking at the T14. But... mac is starting to intice me. 

I am a contractor, so primarily use email, internet, plan viewing, MS Office. Nothing heavy like video editing.

I am completely torn. Which side of the fence should I land on??

Macbook Air is inticing

Historically ThinkPad was the cream of the crop in terms of reliability, build quality, utility and performance. They just worked, were easy to maintain and upgrade, and were virtually indestructible. I am typing this on my 10 year old, upgraded, X220 as an example. 

New ThinkPads seem to every so slowly inch toward more mainstream style, inferior keyboards, soldered on components, inferior build quality and a pretty confused product line up with an infinite amount of brands and configurations. The Lenovo website is barely useable as an example.

I am looking for my next laptop but feel less confident in the ThinkPad brand given the above. What is the overall consensus? Is ThinkPad still overall best for professional use, or are there new contenders out there that deliver better build and performance that more matches the ThinkPads of the IBM glory days?
