AMD Ryzen PRO Performance with Radeon Vega Graphics
The refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad T495s is powered by the AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U — a Zen+ quad-core processor running up to 3.7GHz with integrated Radeon Vega 8 graphics. Compared to equivalent Intel Core i5 configurations, the Ryzen 5 PRO offers stronger integrated graphics performance for video playback, light image editing and multi-display work. The PRO designation adds AMD’s enterprise security and manageability features for business and IT-managed environments.
Exceptional Battery Life — Up to 16 Hours
The T495s’s 57Wh battery delivers exceptional real-world battery life — Lenovo rates it at up to 16.4 hours under MobileMark 2014 testing. Rapid Charge brings the battery to 80% in approximately one hour via USB-C. For professionals who spend full days away from their desk, this is a genuine differentiator.
Ultra-Slim Premium Build
Lenovo built the T495s to T-series standards — the top cover uses carbon fibre reinforced plastic hybrid material and the bottom chassis uses magnesium-aluminium alloy. At just 16.1mm thin and weighing from 1.25kg, it is among the slimmest and lightest 14-inch ThinkPads available. MIL-STD-810G certified.
