14" FHD Non-Touch Ultrabook

This Lenovo ThinkPad T480 or T490 Ultrabook ships new with a 14.0 inch 1920 x 1080 IPS display. It runs on an Intel Core i5-8250U quad-core processor at 1.6 GHz with 8 GB DDR4 RAM and a 256 GB SSD. Windows 10 Pro is preinstalled alongside integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620.

Business users needing a 14 inch laptop

The 8th Gen quad-core CPU and 8 GB memory suit office applications, web browsing and video calls via the front-facing webcam. Connectivity includes 3 x USB 3.1 ports, 1 x USB-C, HDMI and RJ-45 Ethernet plus Bluetooth 4.1. Buyers who need discrete graphics, more than 32 GB RAM or a touchscreen should look elsewhere.

256 GB SSD storage capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the 256 GB solid-state drive. It provides the operating system volume and primary data space with no secondary hard drive installed. If your workload requires a larger boot drive or additional internal storage bays, this unit will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

What are the dimensions and weight of the T480 and T490 so I can choose a sleeve or bag?

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.

How do I install the AC adapter correctly and what mistake should I avoid?

Connect the OEM 45W or 65W AC adapter to the USB-C or proprietary charging port depending on whether you receive the T480 or T490; do not force the connector into the wrong port.
