Lenovo ThinkPad T490 laptop i5-8265U 16GB 4TB SSD 14.0" HD

Business-ready laptop with 4 TB PCIe storage

The Lenovo ThinkPad T490 is a new 14.0-inch Windows 10 Pro notebook built for professionals who need large local storage and reliable connectivity. Its quad-core Intel Core i5-8265U processor runs at 1.60 GHz with a 4.1 GHz turbo frequency and 6 MB cache. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 memory (8 GB onboard plus an 8 GB SO-DIMM) supports multitasking across office applications and browser workloads.

4 TB NVMe capacity handles big local datasets

The 4 TB PCIe NVMe SSD provides extensive space for project files, media libraries and virtual machines without relying on external drives. Integrated Intel UHD graphics drive the 1366 x 768 HD panel at 60 Hz, which is adequate for document work and video playback but not suited for 3D rendering, colour-critical design or modern gaming. The 50 Whr three-cell battery and 65 W power supply deliver mobile runtime for typical office days.

Thunderbolt 3 and fingerprint reader add flexibility

A Thunderbolt 3 USB-C port enables high-speed peripherals, external GPUs or dual 4K displays when docked. The 720p webcam, fingerprint security system, Bluetooth 5.1, 802.11ac Wi-Fi and gigabit Ethernet cover conferencing and network needs. Buyers who need a higher-resolution screen, discrete graphics or a lighter chassis should consider other models.
