of ThinkPads in the form of the
ThinkPad T490, T490s and
T590. All these laptops feature
the firm's Privacy Guard feature
and ThinkShutter webcam cover.
The T490 features a 14-inch
display, an optional NVIDIA

better battery storage capacity,
offering up to 20 hours of
battery life on a single charge.
