AMD Ryzen PRO with Superior Integrated Graphics

The refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad T495 is powered by the AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 3500U — a Zen+ quad-core processor running up to 3.7GHz, paired with AMD Radeon Vega 8 integrated graphics. The Radeon Vega 8 delivers noticeably better video playback, smoother multi-display performance and improved handling of light creative work compared to Intel UHD 620. Choose 8GB of RAM for straightforward everyday use, or step up to 16GB for heavier multitasking, paired with a 128GB or 256GB SSD depending on how much local storage you need. The AMD PRO designation adds enterprise-grade memory encryption, secure boot and IT manageability features.

Outstanding Port Selection — Including Built-in Ethernet

The T495 stands out with its comprehensive built-in port selection. Two USB-C ports each support DisplayPort 1.4 and Power Delivery. HDMI 2.0 provides high-quality direct monitor output. The built-in RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet port delivers reliable wired network connectivity without adapters. An Always On USB-A port continues to charge devices when the laptop is off or in sleep, and a microSD card reader covers transferring photos or files directly from a compatible card.

ThinkPad T-Series Reliability and Security

The T495 is built to Lenovo’s T-series business standards and certified to MIL-STD-810G. The 6-row spill-resistant keyboard with TrackPoint delivers the premium ThinkPad typing experience. A firmware TPM 2.0 chip gives IT teams a hardware root of trust for encryption and credential storage, and a Kensington Security Slot allows the laptop to be physically secured with a compatible cable lock in shared offices or hot-desk environments. The side docking connector supports Lenovo ThinkPad docking stations for multi-monitor desk setups.

Who Is This For?

The refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad T495 is ideal for professionals who want AMD Ryzen performance with superior integrated graphics alongside ThinkPad T-series build quality, office workers who need wired Ethernet, dual USB-C and HDMI all built in, and anyone who wants maximum connectivity at a refurbished price.

Not ideal for: gaming or 3D design work. For business, study and everyday work, the ThinkPad T495 is a strong fit.

Typical Use Cases

This configuration suits office workers and small businesses that rely on a stable wired network connection without needing a dongle, IT-managed environments that value the built-in RJ-45 Ethernet and Kensington lock slot for asset security, and professionals who regularly connect to external monitors via the dual USB-C and HDMI 2.0 outputs. The choice of 8GB or 16GB RAM and 128GB or 256GB storage lets buyers match the configuration to lighter or heavier everyday workloads.

Refurbished vs New at This Price Point

Lenovo has moved on to newer ThinkPad T-series generations, and the T495 is no longer sold new — there is no genuine current equivalent to compare directly. Why pay £££ for new? A current entry-level business laptop with built-in Ethernet, dual USB-C and HDMI 2.0 costs substantially more than this certified refurbished unit. Buying refurbished from Primo Technology gets you genuine ThinkPad T-series build quality, tested and warrantied, at a fraction of any current equivalent’s price, along with the full physical port set that many newer ultrathin business laptops have since dropped in favour of dongles and adapters.
