Lenovo ThinkPad T495s Review: The AMD business laptop is good, but the fan is annoying

[Redaktion]

The ThinkPad T495s with the Ryzen 7 Pro 3700U is a serious alternative to the Intel-based T490s. The price in particular makes the device very interesting, since there are not many compromises compared to the Intel model.

The fan on the X1 Carbon was annoying as well. The fan on MacBook Pro rarely comes on and on the iPad Pro there is no fan and little or not heat so why on earth do the fans need to spin when running a few web browser or watching a youtube video? No fan in a smartphone and smartphone does not get hot watching YouTube videos or browsing a few websites.

I have the ryzen 5 model.
The fan is quiet in on normal stress loads(word, web browsing, coding) compared to some more consumer focused laptops and certainly if you put it in silent mode.

When you boot up a demanding work load the fan will be audible but I don't find it that annoying.

Dear Notebookcheck.de, could you check fan behaviour with the latest BIOS?
