14-inch FHD Touch Ultrabook

The Lenovo ThinkPad T490 is a 14.0-inch Full HD touchscreen laptop built for mobile professionals who need a responsive display and a compact chassis. It ships new with Windows 11 Pro and a 65 W AC adapter. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 drives the 1920 x 1080 IPS panel for everyday productivity and media playback.

Quad-core i5-8250U Processor

An 8th Generation Intel Core i5-8250U quad-core CPU running at 1.6 GHz with 6 MB L2 cache provides the compute foundation. It handles office suites, web apps and video calls without a discrete graphics card. Buyers who need sustained heavy rendering or GPU-accelerated workloads should look elsewhere.

32 GB DDR4 and 1 TB SSD

The system pairs 32 GB of DDR4 memory with a 1 TB solid-state drive for ample multitasking headroom and fast boot times. Large project files and virtual machines fit comfortably. Users requiring more than 1 TB of internal storage or memory beyond 32 GB will need external solutions.
