Lenovo ThinkPad T490 laptop i5-8265U 12GB 1TB PCIe SSD 14.0" HD

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.
