Lenovo ThinkPad L490 Laptop: 8th Gen Core i5 8GB RAM 512GB SSD Warranty
Item condition:
Note: this unit has a locked BIOS (runs/installs Windows okay, though BIOS settings cannot be changed). A working used laptop (tested and works, photos are from the listed unit), comes with the charger, in a repacked box. Pre-setup with a fresh Windows install. Has a 3-month RTB warranty with us. May have remaining Lenovo warranty (serial number suggests Lenovo warranty until 2023, see photo 3*). The screen works. The outside casing has noticeable marks (mostly on the lid some less noticeable marks on the sides/edges/base, etc). Inside looks decent (small signs of use on the trackpad/keypad, visibly shiny from use etc.). Keyboard is non-backlit. The battery holds at least 95% of the original capacity (checked by HWMonitor, estimation only). Powerful laptop in a thin design, expect a normal level of noise/heat during light use & under load. Sold on VAT Margin scheme (VAT cannot be claimed back).

VAT:
Please note: this item is traded under HMRC’s VAT Margin Scheme – meaning whilst the total price is inclusive of VAT – as per accordance to the HMRC’s VAT Margin scheme requirement, the invoice will only display the total price, the VAT portion cannot be separately displayed (as such you will not be able to claim-back the VAT on this purchase).
Peace of mind:
We include a 3-month return to base coverage from the date of arrival.
Our technician will provide support (simply contact us). If the initial remote diagnostics shows the need, we may request for you to get the item to us for servicing (within 30 days, repair/replace, or refund available); after the initial 30 days, a refund will only be arranged if repair or replacement is not possible. After the initial 30 days, the onus of the postage cost is with the buyer.
- During the service, we cannot be held responsible for any data loss that may occur, as we may be required to reinstall the Operating System (which will erase previous data). We are unable to offer data recovery. As a good practice, we advise our customers to regularly back up their data.
- This does not apply to cosmetic wear due to use, nor existing issue(s) already noted in the original listing, nor does it cover any consumable part (e.g. the battery). During the service, if damage due to misuse is found, e.g. liquid damage /drops, cracked screen, etc, then the cover will be voided (set out fully in the “additional return policy details” below).
- *The upgraded RAM (8GB extra) has a warranty with us. **Our RTB cover for the laptop, is separate to any remaining manufacturer’s warranty (it covers our upgrades). To be clear, any remaining manufacturer’s warranty is not considered a part of this listing’s offer, and should be considered as bonus only, should you aim to use it (the rationale is that whilst the Lenovo laptops’ warranty follow the serial number & are serviceable under such warranty normally – we have no influence over the manufacturers’ warranty policy in the future, should they adjust); as such we stand by our RTB limited hardware cover only, as a part of this listing.
