Refurbished ThinkPad T490 Laptop

This Lenovo ThinkPad T490 is a refurbished 14.0-inch laptop running Windows 11 Pro. It uses a quad-core Intel Core i7-8650U processor with 8 MB of L3 cache. The system includes 16GB of memory and a 256GB SSD. It ships with a power adapter.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This unit suits professionals needing a portable business laptop with a quad-core processor, 16GB RAM and Windows 11 Pro already installed. Buyers who want a touchscreen display, larger onboard storage or a discrete graphics card should consider other models.

Deciding specification: 14.0-inch non-touch display

The 14.0-inch screen does not support touch input and has a standard widescreen aspect ratio. If your workflow requires touch interaction or a different screen size, this laptop will not match those needs.
