14" FHD Touchscreen Ultrabook

This Lenovo ThinkPad T480 or T490 is a 14.0" FHD touchscreen ultrabook running Windows 10 Pro or Windows 11 Pro. It uses an 8th Gen Intel Core i7-8550U quad-core processor at 1.8GHz with 16 GB DDR4 memory and a 512 GB SSD. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 handles the display.

Upgrade from dual-core or HDD systems

Moving from a dual-core laptop or one with a mechanical hard drive brings a clear jump in responsiveness for office workloads and multitasking. The quad-core CPU and SSD combination cuts boot and application load times. The improvement is most noticeable when running several browser tabs, Office apps and video calls together.

Suits mobile professionals needing touch input

This unit suits professionals who want a 14" touchscreen ultrabook with a full port selection including HDMI and RJ-45 Ethernet. Buyers who need a dedicated graphics card for rendering or gaming should look elsewhere. Those requiring more than 16 GB RAM or a larger 1 TB drive will need a different configuration.

Questions about this item

What are the exact dimensions of the T480 and T490 models so I can choose a sleeve that fits either one?

The T480 measures 13.25 x 9.15 x 0.78 inches and weighs 3.6 lbs; the T490 measures 12.7 x 8.5 x 0.7 inches and weighs 3.2 lbs.

Which screwdriver bits are required to open the bottom case for a RAM or SSD upgrade?

A Torx T5 bit removes the five case screws; after lifting the cover, the M.2 SSD uses a single Phillips-head screw and the SO-DIMM slots have no screws.

When will the original 45 W or 65 W AC adapter typically need replacement under daily office use?

The supplied OEM adapter usually lasts three to five years; replace it if the cable frays near the barrel plug or the brick becomes unusually hot.
