Lenovo ThinkPad L490 14"

“Like new – but cheaper.”

A+ is our highest quality grade for laptops. Visually, the device is practically like a brand-new one from the store – only when you look very closely might you find a single, barely noticeable micro-scratch that is not visible in everyday use.
An ideal choice if you want a laptop in like-new condition without paying the full price of a brand-new device.

• Screen: In excellent condition. There are no deep scratches; only a single micro-scratch is allowed, and it is almost impossible to notice in normal use.
• Body: Like new. There may be a few barely visible micro-scratches in less noticeable areas, but there are no dents or heavy chips.
• Keyboard and touchpad: Clean and tidy; all keys and the touchpad work properly.
• Battery health: Very good – the battery has been tested and holds charge properly.
• Battery cycles: The number of battery charge cycles is shown as a range (1–251, 251–500 or 501–750). The lower the range, the less the battery has been used and the better its potential lifespan.

Technocircle’s technical standard

All of our A+, A, B and C+ category laptops meet the same high technical requirements – the differences relate mainly to appearance. Every laptop has undergone thorough testing with dozens of checkpoints to ensure its reliability.

• 100% functional: The display, keyboard, touchpad, webcam, speakers, Wi-Fi and all ports (USB, HDMI, etc.) have been tested and work correctly.
• Battery checked: The battery holds charge, its health has been assessed, and the number of cycles is recorded (shown in the product information).
• Clean history: The serial number and device have been checked – the laptop is not linked to any previous user accounts or locks.
• Data protection ensured: All data has been securely erased and the laptop has been reset to a clean state. On MacBooks, a fresh copy of macOS is installed after wiping (except for certain older models); on PC laptops, the operating system may be missing unless stated otherwise in the product information.
• Hygiene ensured: Every laptop has been deep-cleaned and disinfected.

“Very good condition – some light signs of use.”

An A-grade laptop is a used device in very good condition. Visually it looks neat and presentable, but not quite like a brand-new one out of the box – compared to the A+ grade, scratches and wear marks may be slightly more noticeable, yet they remain modest and do not disturb everyday use.
An ideal choice if you want a quality laptop at a good price and do not mind small cosmetic signs of use.

• Screen: In very good condition. There are no deep scratches. There may be some light hairline scratches or small signs of wear, generally visible only at certain angles and in certain lighting, and they do not interfere with normal use of the screen.
• Body: In very good condition. There may be small scratches and light wear on the sides or bottom; one small dent in a less visible area is also allowed. There are no striking impact marks or cracks.
• Keyboard and touchpad: Clean and functional. There may be slight wear or shine on frequently used keys and on the touchpad, but all keys and the touchpad work correctly.
• Battery health: In good condition – the battery has been tested and holds charge well in everyday use.
• Battery cycles: The number of battery charge cycles is shown as a range (1–251, 251–500 or 501–750). The lower the range, the less the battery has been used and the better its potential lifespan.

“Good working order – visible signs of use.”

A B-grade laptop is a fully reliable device with clearly noticeable cosmetic signs of use. The appearance is no longer like new – scratches, wear marks and small chips may be visible even in normal use, but they do not affect the operation of the device.
A good choice if appearance is not your top priority, but you want a lower price and a properly working laptop.

• Screen: In good working condition. There are no deep scratches or cracks in the screen, but multiple lighter scratches or wear marks may be visible, which can stand out with certain background colours or lighting. The screen functions correctly.
• Body: With visible signs of use. There may be scratches, wear, small chips or some minor dents, especially on the edges and on the bottom. The construction is intact – nothing is loose or wobbly.
• Keyboard and touchpad: Fully functional. Wear or shine may be visible on the keys and the touchpad, but all keys and the touchpad respond correctly.
• Battery health: In good condition – the battery has been tested and is suitable for everyday use.
• Battery cycles: The number of battery charge cycles is shown as a range (1–251, 251–500 or 501–750). The lower the range, the less the battery has been used and the better its potential lifespan.

“Performance first.”

A C+ grade laptop is technically in working order but clearly and heavily used in appearance. Scratches, wear marks and dents are easily noticeable on both the body and the screen. The device may no longer be suitable for a very representative work environment, but it is still a perfectly adequate tool for everyday use.

An ideal choice if you are looking for the most affordable laptop possible, where appearance is not important and functionality comes first.

• Screen: Works properly but has clearly visible signs of wear. There may be keyboard marks, scratches and wear that remain visible even when the screen is on. Up to 1–2 dead pixels and small lighter or darker spots (“dim spots”) are allowed. The screen is still suitable for everyday use.
• Body: With heavy signs of use. Scratches, chips, dents and wear are possible. Some corners may be slightly dented or a bit bent, but the device holds together properly and the lid opens and closes normally.
• Keyboard and touchpad: Fully functional but visibly worn. The keys and touchpad may have strong shine or wear marks. Some key labels may be partially faded, but all functions work correctly.
• Battery health: The battery has been tested and is suitable for everyday use.
• Battery cycles: Shown as a range (1–250, 251–500 or 501–750). The lower the number of cycles, the less the battery has been used and the better its potential lifespan.
