14-inch FHD touchscreen ultrabook

The Lenovo ThinkPad T490 is a 14.0-inch ultrabook with a 1920 x 1080 IPS touchscreen. It runs Windows 11 Pro on an Intel Core i5-8250U quad-core processor at 1.6 GHz with 6 MB L2 cache. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 handles the display output. The system includes 32 GB of DDR4 memory and a 256 GB SSD for storage.

Mobile professionals needing touch and portability

This configuration suits users who want a lightweight 14-inch chassis with a responsive touchscreen and 32 GB of memory for multitasking. Buyers who need a discrete graphics processor for gaming or 3D rendering should look elsewhere. Anyone requiring more than 256 GB of internal storage or a higher-resolution panel will need a different specification.

32 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD headroom

The 32 GB DDR4 allocation provides comfortable headroom for heavy browser workloads, virtual machines and simultaneous office applications. The 256 GB SSD offers fast boot and app launch speeds but fills quickly with large media libraries or multiple VM images. Users working with extensive local datasets should plan for external or cloud storage expansion.
