ThinkPad T490 with 40 GB DDR4

This Lenovo ThinkPad T490 is a 14.0-inch business laptop powered by an Intel Core i5-8265U quad-core processor that reaches 4.1 GHz. It ships with Windows 10 Pro and combines 40 GB of DDR4 memory with a 512 GB PCIe NVMe SSD. The HD display runs at 1366 x 768 and is driven by Intel UHD integrated graphics.

Suited for office multitasking.

The 40 GB memory configuration handles heavy browser loads, virtual machines and large spreadsheets without paging. Buyers who need a sharper screen for design, video editing or detailed CAD should look elsewhere because the panel is limited to 1366 x 768. The integrated graphics also rule out modern gaming or GPU-accelerated rendering workloads.

40 GB DDR4 (8 GB soldered + 32 GB SO-DIMM) decides

The 40 GB total is split between 8 GB soldered to the board and a 32 GB DDR4 SO-DIMM, so only one memory slot remains free for any future upgrade. Verify that your workflow can live with this ceiling before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Does the 40 GB DDR4 configuration leave a SODIMM slot free for future expansion?

No. The 40 GB total is made up of 8 GB soldered on board plus a 32 GB SODIMM that occupies the single expansion slot.

Which screw must be removed before the bottom cover can be lifted for drive access?

Remove the single captive Phillips screw near the rear hinge; the cover then releases with a plastic pry tool starting at the front edge.

Is the 50 Wh battery user-replaceable without soldering?

Yes. The 3-cell 50 Wh pack connects via a standard cable and is secured with screws, so it can be swapped after removing the bottom cover.
