Latitude 7490

If you haven't yet, please read this: The Myth of the ThinkPad – Innovintage The True Soul of ThinkPad is that they are an economic process that happens with all business-oriented computing equipment, and many business-oriented tools in general. Companies buy these things thousands at a time, use th

T14 is newer and I'd go that direction if you can afford it. The T480 is on the inner edge of 9 years old and T490 is barely any better at the inner edge of 8 years old. (Although as mentioned they're arguably probably fine for office usage and light video work. my primary personal computer is a Lat

get a PC dude. you can find some pretty good ones for under 300 dollars on TEMU. thats how i got my dell latitude 7490 laptop. costed me 209 dollars and has lasted me nonstop

What kind of specs and/or overall vibes/priorities are you looking at? Not all ThinkPads are fully internally flexible. Some T14S machines and many X-series machines have soldered RAM, which isn't necessarily bad if you're aware and plan up front. I usually recommend Intel 8th gen for the quad-cores

I've been using it quite a while, it works fine. My rig is Dell Latitude 7490 with 8th gen core i5, 16gb ram, and I'm using office 2019 and zotero 7. Just make sure that Zotero is open while you use its word plugin. That way, when you add citation, the zotero prompt will appear.

I believe Win 11 requires at least an 8th generation Intel i7/i5 and TPM (Trusted Platform Module 2.0). I'm partial to Dell Latitudes, currently typing this out on a Latitude 7490

Basic desktop usage is gonna be "fine" on anything with four cores, 16gb of ram or better, SSD or better, intel 8th gen and AMD ryzen 2nd or newer and with supported graphics. That line applies to both windows 11 (close to those are the official requirements) and linux. All "T14" models are newer th

New battery should help for sure! I don't fully/really know what "newer" ("less than 20 year old") thinkpads are like w/re battery longevity. For me on my Latitude 7490 and 7200 2n1 they each have some minor problems but aren't to the point of being unusable yet. I would expect "warning signs" befor

There was a really good write-up recently on "ThinkPad as a cultural phenomenon" here: The Myth of the ThinkPad – Innovintage TL:DR business computers in general are almost always a good deal used because they're good, well-built machines that get sold off before they are actually done. In the case

Kupio sam "refusbished" Dell 7490/i7-8650U/16GB Ram/256GB SSD/14"/W10 tamo negdje 09/2022 kceri za studiranje - ne zali se (odnosno, zalila se na neke neobjasnjene restarte ali na kraju ispalo software problem). Koristila ga je i za posao, sve OK. ...s druge strane, ja imam poslovni Dell 7420 (nezna
