Business-ready ultraportable

The Lenovo ThinkPad T490s is a 14.0-inch Full HD laptop built for professionals who need reliable performance in a lightweight chassis. It runs Windows 10 Pro on an Intel Core i7-8565U quad-core processor with 8GB of DDR4 memory and a 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD. The IPS anti-glare display and integrated UHD 620 graphics handle everyday productivity and video calls with ease.

Stepping up from dual-core or HDD systems

Users moving from older dual-core ultrabooks or machines still running mechanical drives will notice the jump to four cores, eight threads and NVMe storage most in multitasking and boot speed. The 1.8 GHz base clock and 4.6 GHz turbo handle office workloads and light creative tasks, while the 57Wh battery and 65W USB-C adapter support a full workday away from a desk.

Ports and expandability for a mobile desk

Two USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-A ports, one USB-C Gen1, one Thunderbolt 3 Gen2 port, HDMI 1.4b and a microSD reader connect monitors, docks and peripherals without dongles. The 8GB memory is soldered, so RAM cannot be increased later, but the M.2 slot allows storage upgrades. Buyers who need more than 1TB of internal space or user-replaceable memory should consider other models.

Questions about this item

What M.2 slot key and length does the 1TB PCIe NVMe SSD use?

The 1TB drive uses an M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe slot; the 2280 length is the only one supported in this chassis.

Which screw must be removed before the bottom cover lifts off?

Remove the single captive Phillips screw near the hinge, then pry from the front edge — forcing the cover without releasing that screw cracks the plastic clips.

When will the 57Wh battery typically need replacement?

Expect 2–3 years of daily cycling before capacity drops below 80%; the battery is internal but user-replaceable after removing the bottom cover.
