Just bought the T495 just to have as a front office PC. Nothing fancy just watch KZitem tutorials if I need instructions on how to fix something and print shipping labels for ebay stuff. I know it might be overkill for that but I hate a slow computer, so when I'm working having a computer that just does it without having to wait is required. I can't sit there fighting my laptop when i should be fighting someone else's crappy one lol

I'm a Linux user, and I currently have a T460s. It runs Linux very well (there's a video of the T460s running Linux on KZitem somewhere). I'd love to get my hands on the T495 with a Ryzen 7 (to use as a Linux workstation).

I have purchased recently a lenovo T460s ( i5-6200u, samsung SSD M.2 256 GB and 8 GB of RAM DDR4 ) and I must say I runs perfectly. I'm using Ubuntu on it and doing web programming. Keyboard is similar like on older macbook pro from 2010-2014 gen, very good and precise. I bought it from one big company in my country which sells new and refurbished PC, laptops and all of that stuff. My lenovo was $220 with new charger, battery health is around 67% ( 3 hours I got which is very solid ) and a one year waranty. If you ask me, this was a really cheap deal for such a small compact machine. I will buy soon in the future new Macbook Air with M2 chip, but for the second laptop, I will always have lenovo. I had Asus, Acer, Toshiba, Dell.. none was like a Lenovo...

I believe the difference in materials is due to their respective models, rhe t495s would feel even nicer than the t460s, but the t460 feels cheaper than the t495.

it can be tricky. You need to have a good screwdriver to begin with. Than the screws might be the ones tat always stay inside and don't fall off. This is actually good. So if you screw them out and you feel no more resistance and the screw is sort of just hanging there , it might be that it's already good to lift off the lid. Pry it up with small plastic tool or credit card so that it's not damaged.

can you give me some temps on the t460s? im running a t460 with a i5 6200u and it hovers around 40-60c i tried changing the thermal paste but my screwdriver was too big and i feared i would strip the screw even further
@manCaveSweden
2 жыл бұрын
the 40 is a totally normal temperature for almost any laptop. 60 is also fine. based on where you measure it. If this number comes from the internal sensor and you have a software, showing you 60c that is also more or less fine, as long as the fans are not going sky high. If 60c is what you measure on the keyboard, witht the external thermometer / infrared thermometer , only than you might want to start thinking about some measures. So let's assume your laptop goes vewry warm outside and the fans are blowing like crazy with no significant effect. In tat case your fans are clogged. You might want to add additional cooling to your laptop (temporary measure) and if that does not work, clean the fans. I have a video on that. ANd only if that would not help, than you change the thermal paste. Here is the video kzitem.info/news/bejne/x5uF3GuhfnejloY

I've got T480s (i7-8560) and T495 (Ryzen 5 3500U PRO) here. After a long consideration and comparison, I vote to keep my good old T480s. T480s pros: better build quality, no wobbliness, awesome touchpad, battery lasts longer, almost no cooling on idle or easy browsing. T480 negs: older CPU (spectre, meltdown), weak UHD 620 (barely runs 2009 games), reddish and low-contrast display T495 pros: sometimes faster cpu (on RT render test), newer cpu, 2-3x faster gpu (tested on GRIP), better contrasting display (texts more readable) T495 negs: no thunderbolt, doesn't talk with gen1 TB dock (dp-out doesn't work for some reason), horrible build quality, wobbly as T14s, no room for double-sided NVMe SSD, horrible touchpad (way less responsive), battery lasts 2 hours less on idle, cools a LOT. If you're a student and want a firmer laptop to sometimes game on, go into T495. If you're a businessman who needs his loyal, "throw-to-kill", "firm-as-brick", "never-to-fail-you" ally to work all day, go into T480(s). I choose the latter, because once you touch the brutal solidness, other laptops will seem gelly to you.
