Ready-to-work ThinkPad T490

This Lenovo ThinkPad T490 arrives with Windows 10 Pro 64-bit already installed and a quad-core Intel Core i5-8265U processor that reaches 4.1 GHz. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 memory and a 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD give immediate capacity for office suites, browser-heavy workflows and light creative tasks. The 14.0-inch 1366 x 768 display, fingerprint reader and 720p webcam complete a compact business laptop for mobile professionals.

Verify your peripherals and network

Check that your existing monitors accept HDMI input and that any USB-C docks or chargers support Thunderbolt 3 or USB 3.1 Gen1 signalling. The laptop provides 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.1, so confirm your router and accessories operate on those standards. Wired networks require a standard RJ-45 cable for the onboard Gigabit Ethernet port. Buyers who need a higher-resolution panel or discrete graphics should consider a different model.

Ports and security features included

Two USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-A ports, one HDMI output, one Thunderbolt 3 Type-C port and a second USB 3.1 Type-C Gen1 connector cover most legacy and modern accessories. A microSD card reader and a combined headphone/microphone jack handle media and conferencing without extra dongles. The integrated fingerprint reader enables Windows Hello sign-in, while the 720p webcam and dual-array microphones support video calls out of the box.
