ThinkPad T490 for business mobility

The Lenovo ThinkPad T490 is a 14.0 inch laptop built for professionals who need a lightweight Windows 10 Pro machine with a quad-core Intel Core i5-8265U processor, 16GB of DDR4 memory and a 1TB SATA SSD. It weighs 3.23lb and measures 0.70 inches thin.

Suits office workers not creative pros

This configuration suits office workers, students and mobile managers who rely on web apps, document editing and video calls using the 720p webcam and fingerprint reader. Buyers who need a high-resolution display for design work or a discrete GPU for rendering should look elsewhere.

1366 x 768 HD display resolution

The 14.0 inch panel runs at 1366 x 768 pixels at 60Hz, which determines how much on-screen content fits and how sharp text appears. If that resolution meets your workflow needs, the rest of the specification supports typical business workloads.
