Lenovo ThinkPad T490s
4.0/5
August 19, 2019Pros
- Chassis is thin yet durable.
- Stellar keyboard.
- Quiet operation.
- Useful selection of ports including Thunderbolt 3.
Cons
- Dim display.
- High-resolution screen no longer available.
Bottom Line
Among Lenovo's 14-inch ThinkPads, the slim T490s is a better bet than the bulkier T490 model, but the premiere X1 Carbon remains tempting, if not for the reason you might expect.
