ThinkPad T490 business laptop

The Lenovo ThinkPad T490 is a 14.0-inch laptop with an 8th Gen Intel Core i5-8265U quad-core processor, 40GB DDR4 memory and a 512GB SATA SSD. It ships with Windows 10 Pro and includes Intel UHD integrated graphics, fingerprint reader, 720p webcam, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1 and Gigabit Ethernet. Thunderbolt 3, HDMI, two USB 3.1 Gen1 ports and a micro SD reader provide connectivity.

Suits mobile professionals needing high memory

This configuration suits users who run multiple business applications, virtual machines or large datasets and benefit from the 40GB DDR4 capacity. Buyers who want a higher-resolution display, discrete graphics for creative workloads or a lighter chassis should look at something else. The 1366 x 768 panel and integrated graphics limit visual detail and GPU-accelerated tasks.

40GB DDR4 memory configuration

The single specification that decides fit is the 40GB DDR4 memory, composed of 8GB onboard plus a 32GB SO-DIMM. This capacity supports heavy multitasking and memory-intensive line-of-business software. Verify that your workload requires this amount before purchase.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and is there anything else I need to buy to start using it?

The laptop ships with a 65 W power supply and a 3-cell 50 WHr battery installed. Windows 10 Pro is pre-loaded, so no extra software purchase is required.

The listing shows 40 GB of memory made up of 8 GB onboard plus a 32 GB SODIMM — can I add more later?

The 32 GB SODIMM occupies the single upgrade slot, so total memory is already at the 40 GB maximum supported by this configuration.

The drive is described as a 512 GB SATA SSD — what does that mean for everyday speed compared with a traditional hard drive?

A SATA SSD delivers much faster boot and application load times than a mechanical drive, while using the same 2.5-inch or M.2 SATA interface already present in the T490.
