ThinkPad T490 14" FHD i5-8250U

This Lenovo ThinkPad T490 is a 14.0 inch FHD ultrabook with an Intel Core i5-8250U quad-core processor at 1.6GHz, 32GB DDR4 memory and a 128GB SSD. It ships with Windows 11 Pro and integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 on a non-touch IPS panel.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Professionals wanting a lightweight 14" business laptop with 32GB RAM for multitasking will match this spec. Buyers needing more storage, a dedicated GPU, a touchscreen or a newer processor generation should look elsewhere.

Deciding specification — 128GB SSD

The single specification that decides fit is the 128GB SSD capacity. It covers the operating system and core applications but leaves little room for large media libraries or multiple virtual machines without external storage.

Questions about this item

Will my existing USB 3.1 peripherals work with the three USB 3.1 ports on this T490?

Yes, the three USB 3.1 ports are backward compatible with older USB devices so your current peripherals will connect without adapters.

How can I verify the 32 GB DDR4 memory is recognised after first boot?

Open Windows Settings, choose System then About, and confirm Installed RAM shows 32 GB.

Does the box contain an Ethernet cable for the RJ-45 port or must I supply one?

The package includes the laptop and an OEM 45/65 W AC adapter only; an Ethernet cable is not supplied.
