I was skeptical about buying a smartwatch online, but I’m so glad I did! The Apple Watch Series 9 I bought is 100% original, works perfectly, and came in a sealed box. Best online electronics store in Kenya!

Description

Lenovo ThinkPad T490s | 8th Gen | 14" FHD — Business Ultrabook

The Lenovo ThinkPad T490s is a premium 14" ultrabook built for professionals who need a durable, lightweight laptop that doesn't compromise on performance. Available with 8GB or 16GB DDR4 RAM and 256GB or 512GB SSD options, the T490s pairs a sharp Full HD display with strong security features — making it an excellent choice for Kenyan business users, consultants, lecturers and managers on the move.

What makes the T490s a top pick

The ThinkPad T490s balances portability and power. Models ship with 8th Gen Intel® processors (i5 or i7 Whiskey Lake family) and integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620, giving you smooth performance for Office suites, browser-heavy workflows and HD video conferencing. The 14" Full HD (1920×1080) display delivers crisp text and dependable colour accuracy for presentations and spreadsheets, while the thin chassis and lightweight build make it ideal for commuters in Nairobi or road trips across the counties.

These combinations provide instant-on responsiveness, quick file access and excellent multitasking for business applications. Security is a key focus: match-on-chip fingerprint readers and dTPM 2.0 hardware encryption help protect your sensitive documents. Optional IR cameras with Windows Hello provide secure, password-free login where included. For on-site work you’ll appreciate the broad port selection (USB-C, USB-A, HDMI and optional Thunderbolt 3), plus Ethernet support for reliable wired connections during workshops or presentations.
