Questions about this item

How do I replace the M.2 PCIe NVMe OPAL 2.0 SSD in the ThinkPad T490, and what step is often missed?

Remove the bottom cover, unscrew the single M.2 2280 drive, swap it, then re-enable the OPAL 2.0 encryption in BIOS so the new drive is recognised.

Which component will need replacement first during the laptop's lifespan?

The 512 GB PCIe NVMe OPAL 2.0 M.2 SSD is the only user-replaceable storage; the 8 GB soldered DDR4 and integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 cannot be swapped.

What thermal limit appears first during sustained heavy workloads on the Core i7-8665U?

The 4-core 8 MB cache processor hits its 4.80 GHz Turbo Boost ceiling, then throttles to base 1.90 GHz once the cooling solution saturates.
