Ready-to-use business ultrabook

This Lenovo ThinkPad ships with Windows 11 Pro installed and an OEM AC adapter so it works straight from the box. The 14.0 inch FHD IPS panel at 1920 x 1080 gives a crisp non-touch workspace for documents and video calls. An 8th Gen Intel Core i5-8250U quad-core processor at 1.6 GHz with 16 GB DDR4 memory handles multitasking without lag. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 drives the display and light media tasks.

Thermals and power in daily use

The ultrabook chassis weighs approximately 3.2 lbs for the T490 or 3.6 lbs for the T480 depending on the unit you receive. A 45 W or 65 W adapter supplies power for typical office loads while keeping the brick compact for travel. Fan noise stays low during standard productivity work such as browsing, email and video conferencing. The system runs cool enough for lap use during normal business hours.

Ports and connectivity that matter

Three USB 3.1 ports, one USB-C port, HDMI and RJ-45 Ethernet cover monitors, wired networks and peripherals without dongles. Intel Dual Band Wireless with Bluetooth 4.1 handles wireless keyboards, mice and headsets. A front-facing webcam supports video meetings out of the box. SD or MicroSD card readers and fingerprint readers are optional and may not be present on every unit.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 512 GB SSD and which step is often missed?

The 512 GB SSD uses an M.2 slot that accepts SATA or NVME drives. The step often missed is confirming the drive protocol matches the slot before fitting it.

What maintenance or replacement will the 16 GB DDR4 memory need later?

The 16 GB DDR4 is soldered and cannot be upgraded. No routine memory maintenance is required; replacement would need a full board swap.

What limit appears first on the Intel UHD Graphics 620 during sustained workloads?

The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 shares system memory and thermal budget with the i5-8250U, so thermal throttling under sustained load is the first limit.
