Lenovo ThinkPad T490 14" FHD i5-8365U 8GB 256GB SSD laptop

Lenovo ThinkPad T490 14" FHD Business Laptop

The Lenovo ThinkPad T490 is a 14 inch business laptop running Windows 11 Pro. It uses an Intel Core i5-8365U quad-core processor with a 1.6 GHz base frequency and up to 4.1 GHz turbo. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 handles the display output. The system includes 8GB of DDR4-2400 memory and a 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD.

Suits mobile professionals needing a 14 inch FHD

This laptop suits mobile professionals who need a 14 inch FHD IPS screen with 300 nits brightness and anti-glare coating. The 45 percent NTSC colour gamut covers general office work. Buyers who need a touchscreen or a wider colour gamut for creative colour-critical tasks should look at other models. The 8GB memory is soldered and not user-upgradable, so buyers who need more than 8GB of RAM should consider a different configuration.

Quad-core i5-8365U with 6 MB L3 cache

The single specification that decides fit is the Intel Core i5-8365U quad-core processor with 6 MB L3 cache. It delivers a 1.6 GHz base clock and up to 4.1 GHz turbo for typical productivity workloads. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 uses shared system memory and supports external displays via the available video outputs. Buyers needing discrete graphics performance for 3D rendering or gaming will find the integrated solution insufficient.
