ThinkPad T490 14" FHD Ultrabook

The Lenovo ThinkPad T490 is a 14.0 inch FHD ultrabook with a 1920 x 1080 IPS non-touch display. It runs Windows 11 Pro on an Intel Core i7-8550U quad-core processor with 8 GB DDR4 memory and a 128 GB SSD. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 handles visual output.

Suits mobile professionals needing a light 14 inch

This configuration suits users who want a lightweight 14 inch ultrabook for office applications, web browsing and video calls via the front-facing webcam. Buyers who need more storage capacity than 128 GB or a dedicated graphics processor for demanding 3D workloads should consider a different specification.

128 GB SSD capacity is the deciding specification

The single specification that decides fit is the 128 GB SSD capacity. It provides fast boot and application load times but offers limited space for large media libraries or multiple virtual machines. Verify that this capacity meets your workflow requirements before purchase.

Questions about this item

What ports must my existing monitor or dock provide to connect the T490's HDMI and USB‑C outputs?

The laptop includes one HDMI port and one USB‑C port; your display or dock needs matching HDMI and USB‑C inputs to use both video outputs.

Will my older USB‑A peripherals work with the three USB 3.1 ports on this unit?

Yes, the three USB 3.1 Type‑A ports are backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices, so legacy keyboards, mice and drives will function normally.

How can I confirm the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 is active after Windows 11 Pro boots?

Open Device Manager, expand Display adapters and verify Intel UHD Graphics 620 appears without a warning icon; the FHD panel should then show 1920 x 1080 resolution.
