Lenovo ThinkPad T490 with 40GB RAM

The ThinkPad T490 is a 14.0-inch business laptop powered by an Intel Core i5-8265U quad-core processor that reaches 4.1 GHz. It ships with Windows 10 Pro and integrates Intel UHD graphics for everyday productivity. The 40GB DDR4 memory combines 8GB soldered with a 32GB SO-DIMM module.

2TB PCIe NVMe SSD storage capacity

A 2TB PCIe NVMe drive provides ample room for large project files, local databases and extensive media libraries. The single-drive layout means total capacity is fixed at 2TB; users needing more space must rely on external drives or cloud services. No secondary drive bay is present.

Thunderbolt 3 and fingerprint reader

Thunderbolt 3 over USB-C adds high-speed data, video output and docking through one port alongside two USB 3.1 Gen1 ports and HDMI. The fingerprint reader enables Windows Hello sign-in without passwords. A 720p webcam and Bluetooth 5.1 complete the communication kit.

Questions about this item

Will my existing DDR4 SODIMM modules work with the 40GB configuration that already has 8GB soldered and a 32GB stick installed?

The laptop uses DDR4 memory with 8GB soldered to the board and one 32GB SODIMM occupying the single expansion slot, so no additional modules can be added without removing the existing 32GB stick.

How can I confirm the 2TB PCIe NVMe SSD and 40GB of DDR4 RAM are recognised correctly after first boot?

Open Task Manager and check the Performance tab: the Storage section should show a 2TB NVMe drive and the Memory section should report 40GB of DDR4 running at the system speed.

Does the box include a Thunderbolt 3 cable and a Micro SD card, or must I buy them separately?

The package contains the laptop, a 65W power adapter and standard documentation only; Thunderbolt 3 cables and Micro SD cards are not included and must be purchased separately.
