who knew Lenovo was planning to reanimate the long dead series... just to bring it back as a China exclusive series that's pretty much the E Series with aluminium display lids.

pictures of the R490: https://www.thinkpad.com/product/473
pictures of the R14: https://www.thinkpad.com/product/517
15.6-inch versions exist as well (R580, R590, R15), but i couldn't find any pictures of them. so far i've managed to locate them in the user manuals of the E Series' equivalents.
guess there should be a subforum for these systems... or would they be considered an E Series with bling included?

Re: return of the R Series: R480, R490, R14
That link for R490 seems to be kaput.
This is the working link: https://www.thinkpad.com/device/473
Just like E490 and T490, it has no integrated graphics option, only Radeon 540X with 2GB GDDR5 option.
It starts at ¥6400 with additional ¥100 for upgrade to FHD TN display, which at that price point is pretty much a no brainer to at least get that if not IPS in 2020.
Ironically while in Chinese it advertises super thin bezels, it has a huge bottom chin compared to a T490 for example, perhaps they kept a 16:10 screen in mind and stuck with a 16:9 one in the end
