The T490 is the worst ThinkPad generation to buy right now. The generation they took out the removable battery, soldered half the RAM and generally made some other anti-improvements. So you get the oldest hardware without any of the pre-redesign benefits.

I guess the T495 is worse. Those first gen Zen chips are just terrible.

Really liking my refurb t480 with Ubuntu, however the most annoying thing is that it’s seemingly impossible to get the 2 finger swipe back trackpad gesture working. Otherwise it’s been great.

Switch the trackpad with that of the X1C, and it'll work flawlessly. I did the same on my T470.
