14" FHD ThinkPad for mobile professionals

The Lenovo ThinkPad T490 is a 14-inch ultrabook built around an 8th Gen Intel Core i7-8550U quad-core processor running at 1.8GHz. It ships with 16GB of DDR4 memory and a 1TB SSD running Windows 11 Pro. The non-touch IPS panel delivers a 1920 x 1080 resolution suited to office work and travel.

1TB SSD capacity and integrated graphics headroom

The 1TB solid-state drive provides ample space for operating system files, applications and large local datasets without relying on external storage. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 handles multi-monitor output over HDMI and routine video playback, but it is not suited to 3D rendering, CAD workloads or modern gaming titles.

Bundled OEM adapter and Windows 11 Pro licence

The package includes an OEM 45/65W AC adapter matched to the unit's power requirements, removing the need to source a separate charger. A genuine Windows 11 Pro licence is pre-installed, enabling BitLocker encryption, remote desktop hosting and domain join features immediately after first boot.

Questions about this item

Will the 14.0" FHD 1920 x 1080 IPS panel and Intel UHD Graphics 620 drive an older 1080p monitor over the HDMI port?

Yes, the HDMI output supports external 1080p displays, and the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 handles that resolution without issue.

How can I verify the Quad-core i7-8550U, 16 GB DDR4 and 1 TB SSD are all recognised after first boot?

Open Task Manager → Performance tab; you will see four cores at 1.8 GHz, 16 GB DDR4 memory and a 1 TB SSD listed under Disk.

Does the box contain only the ThinkPad T490 and the OEM 45/65W AC adapter, or are cables and a mouse included?

The shipment includes the ThinkPad T490 and an OEM 45/65W AC adapter; video cables, mouse or other peripherals are not supplied.
