does anyone own both a t490 and t495 ? how do they compare ? and how's amd with Linux i.e Ubuntu KDE variants ? I own a t490 running Kubuntu


At this point it's probably better to wait for the T14.


For anyone else wondering like I was... The T14 will be the replacement for the T490 and T495. Likewise there will be a T14s to replace the T490s and T495s and a T15 to replace the T590. They will no longer distinguish between Intel and AMD in the model name.

The T14 Intel is better then the T14 AMD. Better display and thunderbolt.


They both have 1x Thunderbolt 3, but yes, intel allows for 4K panel upgrade



There's a Thinkpad E495 (previous-gen Ryzen/Vega) review on notebookcheck. The "E" series (fka "Edge") is a budget notebook though; for example, it uses slower memory and doesnt't have keyboard lighting/fingerprint sensors. I can confirm an E495 works perfectly with Ubuntu 19.10 OOTB; not sure the newer Ryzen is already fully supported by Ubuntu 20.04 LTS coming out these days.


check out notebookcheck.net for reviews, they are quite thorough.


There is a T495 review on notebookcheck, but it's based on previous gen CPU and it lacks Linux coverage. Possibly the Ryzen 4000 model will be called T14/T14s instead of T495? No review of those either though.
