How is the T490 a regression? I've decided to get a T490, and willing to wait out it becoming available with full options in my country. But if it's a regression, I might as well get a T480.

No second battery. The T490 is basically an improvement on the T480s, not the T480 (which makes having a T490s kinda weird). Lenovo has these weird cycles of gutting their own products before they put them back, so it'll eventually come back, but for now...ick.

I am literally buying an extra T480 to put away until I need it.

It's reported to use a thinner chassis. I haven't seen any specs but they may have done away with the removable second battery and poissibly the second RAM sslot
