I'd like to spend around 250 euro, and for the os linux is ok. Thanks for the help. P.S. sry if the sub doesn't fit but I didn't know where to post this P.P.S. sry for bad english

I got the T490 so without the 's' and it's quite light but rugged and was lucky so it's a 16GB / 512GB SSD for under 200€.

Runs like a charm, battery life is crazy good and it gots all the connectics I need.

Only downside I can see is if you want a bigger screen, it's a 14" which is okay for me but maybe not for you.

Great laptop. I’ve used one at work for the last couple of years. I’d highly recommend any ‘business’ Lenovos (Lenovii?)
Coincidentally I’m saying goodbye to my trusty T490 tonight and starting new adventures with my newly issued T14

Why did you change?

Just a work laptop refresh

I got my dad a t460 full size. That thing can do like 14 hours of car scanning and tuning without a charge.

What’s car scanning and tuning?

You can get carburetor replacements that give you electronic fuel injection. holly is a popular brand, and you use software to adjust the fuel and spark of the engine for power or efficiency.

How does the laptop factor in to this? Also, could I improve fuel economy with this method?
