MANUFACTURER'S FAULT
I bought this laptop, it's in impeccable condition, charged with protective APC unit, and mother board burns, was warranted at the time, they repaired it, it burns a few months later again, this time smoking. Hardly used, only for a studies occasionally. It's a beautiful laptop but definitely has a manufacturer issue

Quality Construction
Excellent machine perfect for the healthcare environment. Any company could assemble the hardware, but Lenovo products feel of quality construction. Also fits nicely in a crammed work bag with a large coffee.

T490 Healthcare edition
Good battery life and audio . Keyboard is great and the trackpad is one of the best I have ever used . I purchased the T490 Healthcare Edition and it is very sturdy . The fingerprint sensor is hit or miss , and gives me a little bit of trouble when I try to add fingerprints onto accounts . Other than that a very good laptop overall .

Worked Well For Two Years, But Now it Re-boots
The laptop worked well for two years and then all of a sudden, every time the laptop is placed in sleep mode, it re-boots, losing all my work. I sent it to the depot for repair, re-installed Windows and the behavior keeps happening. After extensive research, I found out that this issue is very common with many Lenovo models, not just Thinkpads. I was a fan of Lenovo and Thinkpads for many years, but quality has definitely gone down.
This is the last time I purchase a Lenovo. I really love the Thinkpad keyboard, which is the most comfortable of any laptop, but this issue is extremely frustrating and the Lenovo support team was not able to resolve it.
