ThinkPad T490 with 1TB PCIe SSD

The Lenovo ThinkPad T490 is a 14.0 inch business laptop powered by an Intel Core i5-8265U quad-core processor with a 4.1 GHz turbo frequency. It comes with 12GB of DDR4 memory in a mixed onboard and SODIMM layout and a 1TB PCIe NVMe solid state drive. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit is pre-installed.

Suits mobile professionals needing legacy ports

This configuration suits professionals who require a native HDMI port, two USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-A connectors and a wired Ethernet jack alongside Thunderbolt 3 and a microSD reader. The 1366 x 768 panel and integrated Intel UHD graphics limit the machine to general productivity, video calls and light multitasking. Buyers who need a sharper display, discrete graphics for rendering or gaming, or a larger chassis should consider other models.

1366 x 768 resolution decides fit

The single specification that decides suitability is the 1366 x 768 resolution on a 14.0 inch screen. Text and images will appear less crisp than on Full HD panels, so users who work with detailed spreadsheets, design assets or multiple side-by-side windows will notice the lower pixel density. If that resolution meets the workflow, the 1TB NVMe drive, 12GB DDR4 memory and full port selection make this a complete ready-to-deploy unit.

Questions about this item

Does the 12 GB DDR4 memory include a removable 4 GB SO-DIMM I could upgrade later?

Yes, the 12 GB DDR4 configuration uses 8 GB soldered and a 4 GB SO-DIMM, so the slot can accept a larger module.

Will my USB 3.0 Type-A peripherals work with the two USB 3.1 Gen1 ports on this T490?

Yes, the two USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-A ports are backward compatible with USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 devices.

How can I confirm the 1 TB PCIe NVMe SSD is detected at full speed after first boot?

Open Task Manager, select the Performance tab, choose the drive, and verify the interface reads PCIe and the capacity shows 1 TB.
