Quad-Core Ultrabook for Mobile Professionals

The Lenovo ThinkPad T490 combines an Intel Core i7-8550U processor with 32 GB of DDR4 memory in a 14.0-inch FHD IPS touchscreen chassis. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed on a 256 GB SSD. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 handles the visual output.

Suits Office Workflows Not Heavy GPU Loads

This configuration serves users who need quad-core responsiveness for multitasking, web apps and document editing on the move. Buyers who require discrete graphics performance for rendering, modern gaming or GPU-accelerated workloads should look at a different class of machine.

256 GB SSD With 32 GB RAM Headroom

The 256 GB solid-state drive holds the operating system and a typical business software suite with room for active project files. The 32 GB memory ceiling provides generous headroom for virtual machines and large spreadsheet models before paging becomes a bottleneck.

Questions about this item

What operating system licence is already activated on the T490?

Windows 11 Pro comes pre-installed and activated, so the laptop is ready to use once you sign in with a Microsoft account.

Can I keep using my existing USB-A peripherals with the three USB 3.1 ports?

Yes, the three USB 3.1 Type-A ports accept standard USB-A plugs, so current mice, keyboards and drives work without adapters.

How do I confirm the quad-core i7-8550U and 32 GB DDR4 are recognised after first boot?

Open Task Manager, select the Performance tab, and verify four cores with eight logical processors at 1.8 GHz base speed plus 32 GB DDR4 memory shown.
