Purpose-built ultrabook

The Lenovo ThinkPad T490 is a 14.0 inch FHD touchscreen laptop powered by a 1.6 GHz Intel Core i5-8250U quad-core processor. It ships with 32 GB DDR4 memory and a 512 GB SSD running Windows 11 Pro. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 handles everyday visual tasks for mobile professionals and students.

Compatibility checklist

Verify that your essential peripherals connect through the available ports: three USB 3.1 Type-A, one USB-C, HDMI and RJ-45 Ethernet. Confirm that the pre-installed Windows 11 Pro edition meets your software licensing requirements. The integrated graphics cannot drive external GPU enclosures or high-end 3D workloads.

Build and daily use

The T490 chassis weighs approximately 3.2 lbs and measures 12.7 by 8.5 by 0.7 inches for easy transport. Grade A cosmetic condition means the unit ranges from pristine to light surface blemishes with full functional testing. A 45 W or 65 W OEM AC adapter is included for charging.

Questions about this item

Does the laptop ship with the AC adapter and Windows 11 Pro already installed, or do I need to buy them separately?

The package includes an OEM 45/65W AC adapter and Windows 11 Pro preinstalled, so no separate purchase is required for either.

Should I choose the 512 GB SSD version or a larger 1 TB drive for heavier workloads?

This unit comes with a 512 GB SATA/NVME M.2 SSD; a 1 TB option exists in the range but is not fitted to this configuration.

How does the 1.6 GHz quad-core i5-8250U perform in everyday office tasks with 32 GB DDR4?

The 1.6 GHz quad-core processor paired with 32 GB DDR4 handles multitasking, web browsing and document work smoothly; integrated UHD 620 graphics covers standard video playback.
