ThinkPad T490s quad-core ultrabook

The Lenovo ThinkPad T490s is a 14.0" business laptop powered by an Intel Core i5-8265U quad-core processor with a base clock of 1.60GHz and turbo up to 3.90GHz. It ships with 8GB of DDR4 memory and a 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD, running Windows 10 Pro. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 handles the 1920 x 1080 non-touch display.

Best for mobile office work.

This ultrabook suits professionals who need a light 14.0" chassis with a fingerprint reader, 720p webcam, Bluetooth 5.0 and 802.11ac Wi-Fi for secure remote work. Buyers who want discrete graphics for rendering or gaming, or who need more than 8GB of RAM for heavy multitasking, should look at a different configuration.

Soldered 8GB DDR4 limits future upgrades

The 8GB DDR4 SODIMM is the only memory installed and the platform does not support user-accessible expansion beyond this module. If your workload requires 16GB or more, this specific unit will not meet that need.

Questions about this item

What are the exact dimensions of the ThinkPad T490s so I can check if it fits my bag?

The laptop measures 9 inches wide, 13 inches deep and 1 inch high, weighing 3.29 lb.

How do I add more memory to this model and what mistake should I avoid?

It uses DDR4 SODIMM modules; the common error is buying a different DDR generation that will not fit the slot.

When will the 3-cell 57 WHr battery need replacing and what power supply does it use?

Expect the battery to degrade after a few years of daily cycles; it charges via the included 65 W power supply.
