14" FHD IPS Display

The Lenovo ThinkPad T490 is a 14-inch business notebook with a 1920 x 1080 IPS panel and a non-touch matte finish. It runs on an Intel Core i7-8565U quad-core processor reaching 4.6GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 16GB DDR4 memory and a 256GB NVMe solid-state drive. Windows 10 Pro is pre-installed.

Mobile Professionals Needing Portability

This ultra-light chassis suits professionals who carry their device daily and value the spill-resistant keyboard and fingerprint reader. Buyers who want a touchscreen or a larger screen for multi-window work should look elsewhere. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics limits the machine to light visual tasks.

256GB NVMe Storage Capacity

The single 256GB NVMe drive determines how much local data the laptop can hold without external drives or cloud sync. Users with large media libraries or virtual machines will need supplementary storage. The drive is not user-expandable beyond the one installed slot.
