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 makes it perfect for business people and moreover supervisors and managers that need to check different values and results on the go.
This is why Lenovo has aimed at overperforming their hardware A¢a,¬" our benchmarks posted results that are higher than the average for the processor we tested. This happened with the internal graphics card as well, but what impressed us most is the battery life. The 57Wh unit managed to power the ThinkPad T490s for more than 15 hours and a half of web browsing and around 12 hours of video playback.
This would mean nothing, though, if it was unpleasant to use the keyboard on this device. Because, letA¢a,¬a,,¢s face it, once you get a business-grade laptop, it is poised of thousands and thousands of clicks. In this case, the laptop is not going to disappoint you (unless it has some sort of reliability issue), since it has long key travel, decent tactile feedback, and a backlight. Furthermore, the touchpad is fast and accurate, while the fingerprint sensor is snappy.
