It's also incredibly bright at about 500 nits, almost making up for the glossy finish that can still be a bit of a pain in a sun-drenched room. In our testing, color reproduction hits 100 percent sRGB and AdobeRGB, which are both outstanding results. It's about a $191 upgrade over the FHD non-touch option, but it's entirely worth it, especially if you're interested in multimedia editing or a bit of design work. It looks to be the same 14-inch display that's used in the X1 Carbon series, with Dolby Vision HDR and up to 500 nits brightness. Our review model has the high-end WQHD non-touch display, and it's absolutely gorgeous. Along the back edge of the laptop where the lid folds down is also room for Micro-SIM card for those who opt for optional LTE connectivity. They're standard Ultrabook speakers that provide loud, clear audio, but don't expect anything miraculous. Like the X390 that we recently reviewed, a PrivacyGuard display option is also expected sometime this summer, which will cut down on viewing angles and keep those passing by from seeing what you're working on.ĭual 2W speakers are positioned along the top of the keyboard and hidden beneath a grate that also houses the power button. The T490 includes a few security options along with the dTPM 2.0 chip, including a fingerprint reader set into the right palm rest, an optional IR camera above the display, a shutter for the front-facing 720p webcam, and Kensington lock slot. The lid hardly wiggles when shaken, there's minimal flex in the main chassis, and despite its lightness feels like it can put up with a beating. The ThinkPad T490 has gone through the usual MIL-STD 810G durability tests to prove its hardiness, and it's an all-around solid laptop. This is a generous selection, and the additional full-size Ethernet hookup puts it ahead of something like the similar ThinkPad X1 Carbon. On the left side is a USB-C for charging, Thunderbolt 3, USB-A 3.1, HDMI 1.4, a 3.5mm audio jack, and a microSD card reader, and on the right is an RJ45 Ethernet port, another USB-A 3.1, and an optional Smart Card reader. The T490's durable chassis is thinner and lighter than ever, and the 14-inch WQHD display with HDR is absolutely stunning. The black soft-touch paint covers the entire chassis, and like most ThinkPads picks up a lot of smudges and fingerprints, there's a dual-hinge system that provides about 180 degrees of movement, and there are a ton of ports packed into the slim chassis.
It's not exactly an exciting look, but it's definitely ThinkPad. Compared to last year's T480, the T490 is lighter - the WQHD version is the heaviest and starts at just 3.17 pounds (1.44kg) - it has an overall smaller footprint, and it's thinner at 0.70 inches (17.9mm).
