Budget 21-30k Lenovo B490 (59-364694) - Quick Impressions

-i am currently thiking of purchasing a b490 for myself. 3230M version though
- I intend to put in a SSD ASAP
- I dont really know what m-PCIe slot is for
- I have used Lenovo think pad , u might wish to install the power manager , it should have the option to set the max and min for the charging of your battery .

1. How good is the after sale service of lenovo ? I have used a lenovo think pad b4 , but the warranty was looked after by my colleges resident lenovo techs.
2. Just how well is the GPU holding ?

It is used to install an mSATA SSD or a WWAN card. If a dedicated mPCIe slot is provided other than the one where the WWAN card is pre-installed, it is meant to install the mSATA SSD.

No clue since I did not have to use the tech. support before. Besides, this happens to be my first Lenovo laptop.

Pretty decent for an iGPU. Plays all the HD content just fine without hiccups. May not be the case for games though. Old gen games may work however.
