Lenovo Thinkpad E495
Introduction
This 14-inch laptop was introduced in 2019 and can run Mint 19.3 (based on Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS) out of the box. Like many other Thinkpads, it is sold in many different configurations. It is very similar to the E490, except that this one is based on an AMD CPU rather than an Intel CPU.

Notes
To select a boot device or enter BIOS setup: press ENTER immediately when the red Lenovo logo appears. You only have a second. Or use shift-reboot in Windows to select a boot device.
It is possible to control the battery charging to extend the lifetime of the built-in battery (stop charging at 80%, start charging below 75%). See Thinkpad battery management.
