14" IPS FHD display

The 14 inch IPS panel delivers 1920 x 1080 resolution with wide viewing angles. A 720p webcam sits above the screen for video calls. The non-touch surface reduces glare in bright offices. Thin bezels keep the chassis compact for travel.

Business users needing portability and security

Professionals who value a fingerprint reader and spill-resistant keyboard will appreciate this configuration. The quad-core processor handles office suites and video conferencing without lag. Buyers who want more storage or a dedicated graphics card should look at something else.

128GB NVMe SSD capacity

The solid-state drive uses the NVMe protocol for fast boot and application loading. Only 128GB of space is available for the operating system, applications and user files. Users with large media libraries or local databases will need external or cloud storage.

Questions about this item

Does the ThinkPad T490 come with the DDR4 memory already installed?

Yes, the laptop ships with 16 GB of DDR4 RAM fitted, so no additional memory purchase is required.

Will the Thunderbolt port on the T490 work with my existing USB-C dock?

The Thunderbolt port accepts standard USB-C devices, so an older USB-C dock will connect and function for data and video.

How can I confirm the 128 GB NVMe SSD is recognised after first boot?

Open Windows Settings, go to System > Storage, and verify the drive shows 128 GB capacity with the NVMe label.
