Lenovo ThinkPad E590 (i7, RX 550X, SSD, FHD) Laptop Review

88% Lenovo ThinkPad E590 (i7, RX 550X, SSD, FHD) Laptop Review

Half-baked With the ThinkPad E590, Lenovo delivers a quiet workstation with very good keyboard and trackpad plus TrackPoint. The dedicated Radeon RX 550X GPU is only able to realise its potential for short periods of time, as the laptop's cooling system is not up to the task for longer sessions of use. This means that gaming is not really an option.

87% Lenovo ThinkPad T490 (i7, MX250, Low Power FHD) Laptop Review

Slimmer is better – or is it? The ThinkPad T490 is a radical redesign of the central ThinkPad series, the T series. Lenovo emphasizes a much improved mobility with a more compact, thinner, and lighter case. This begs the question whether Lenovo had to make any compromises in order to make these improvements. This time around, at least Lenovo does not skimp on the screen.
