Our take on the Lenovo ThinkPad L490 14" Touchscreen

The ThinkPad L490 is a 14-inch business laptop with an 8th-gen Intel Core i5-8265U, 8GB of memory and a 120GB SSD, running Windows 11 Pro. Its touchscreen and ThinkPad keyboard and TrackPoint suit office work, note-taking and light multitasking. Against newer ThinkPads it is older and slower, and the small SSD fills quickly, but it is a sturdy, repairable machine with strong parts availability. Buyers who want a cheap, serviceable work laptop will find it adequate; those needing speed or storage should look at newer models.
