ThinkPad T490s mobile workstation

The Lenovo ThinkPad T490s is a 14-inch business laptop built for professionals who need reliable performance on the move. It runs on an Intel Core i7-8565U processor with four cores and eight threads, paired with 8GB of soldered DDR4-2400 memory and a 256GB PCIe NVMe Opal2 SSD. The 1920x1080 IPS display offers anti-glare viewing at 250 nits brightness. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit comes pre-installed.

Suited for office workflows.

This configuration handles document editing, video calls, web browsing and light multitasking comfortably. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 supports dual-monitor setups and media playback. Buyers who need discrete graphics for 3D rendering, video editing or modern gaming should look at a different system. Users requiring user-upgradable memory or larger local storage out of the box will also need another model.

256GB SSD and 8GB RAM define the headroom

The NVMe drive provides fast boot and application launch for a standard business software suite and project files. The 57Whr battery supports up to 20 hours of typical use according to the manufacturer. Memory is soldered, so the 8GB capacity is fixed; heavy multitasking with large datasets or virtual machines will hit that ceiling. Storage can be expanded via the M.2 2280 slot if more space is needed later.
