Lenovo ThinkPad T490 14-inch (2019) - Core i5 - Gen 10 (U) - 8GB - SSD 256 GB QWERTY - English

I would order from back market again, I just one problem with my order. When I received my order it was actually sooner than I expected which I appreciated alot. I opened the laptop and it booted up fine no issues at all. Then after a few moments of using the laptop I was hit with a horrible and intense rubbery smell. The smell was so strong I had to get up and leave the computer. This smell continued for about 3-4 hours and then faded. I can no longer smell the rubber and the laptop works fine. Do understand that when buying refurbished items the item may smell like this because of the chemicals used to replace parts like the battery. Although if you are put off by smells like this, especially rubber I don't think you'll have a great initial experience. Overall I do recommend buying this laptop though if you want it for gaming I wouldn't recommend as the graphics card kinda of sucks.

Delivery very quick via FedEx. Laptop as new. We'll done Santa.

After almost a week of use, PC is like new. I am delighted.

The device is in perfect condition, very responsive, and starts up and unlocks very quickly. So far I have nothing to complain about. It has good battery life and I've used it for several hours in a row without too many problems (professional use). Even though it discharged quickly on my first use, I think this was due to the number of updates that were running at the time. The delivery was very fast, delivered within the same week, well packaged and protected with a charger.

I ordered my Lenovo in a fair condition and was amazed to receive and immaculate device that looked brand new. It was easy to set up and is working as expected. This is the second laptop I’ve bought from you and I will definitely not hesitate to recommend you to my friends.

For me, a clear 5-star purchase. The ThinkPad matches the condition description, works perfectly, and offers an excellent overall package for the price. Positives: Windows 11 Pro, very little unnecessary pre-installed software, and a battery within the promised quality. The age-related signs of wear are completely fine for me. Potential for improvement: The technical specifications for the specific device could be more complete and clearer (especially regarding graphics/graphics card). Additionally, a slightly more thorough cleaning before shipping would have been beneficial – some sticker residue and easily removable dirt on the display unnecessarily worsened the first impression; after cleaning, the device looked significantly better. As an additional option, I would find a selectable Linux or dual-boot pre-installation interesting for suitable business devices – that could be a real additional selling point for some buyers. Overall very satisfied – especially with the price-performance ratio. Clear recommendation.

A good laptop at a good price, for light work (no AAA games, no video rendering, no 3D). It's a simple laptop that allows me to work, connect via SSH to my server and via remote desktop to my main home computer, browse the internet, and consume multimedia. It has a good 1080p screen, and the keyboard and trackpad are a delight. My unit came with an i7, even though I selected the i5 version when purchasing, so I'm very happy. 16GB of RAM and 256GB SSD. More than enough for the use I'll give it. The overall condition of the equipment is good; it has signs of use, and it's noticeable that at some point it took a hit on the back right corner. The keyboard casing there has a small broken loose piece that I'll try to glue later; it doesn't affect functionality at all, and you have to look very closely to notice it. In fact, I didn't notice it until several days after having it. According to Lenovo Vantage, the battery is at 70%, which gives me about 3 and a half hours of autonomy. For me, that's enough since I almost always have somewhere to plug in the charger. When I bought it, due to the age and characteristics of the equipment, I thought about installing a Linux distro like Mint as the sole OS, but the truth is that it runs Windows 11 without breaking a sweat, so I'll probably dual boot it and leave Win 11 installed. The shipping went smoothly, and the packaging was very proper, in a hard box with "very fragile" labels everywhere and the equipment well protected inside against bumps. Overall, very happy with the purchase and with Backmarket's service.
