Thin, Light and Built Like a ThinkPad

The T490s has a carbon-fibre lid and magnesium base, so it stays thin and light without feeling fragile. It is tested to military-grade durability standards, and the spill-resistant keyboard is one of the best for long days of typing reports, emails and code.

Core i7 Performance for Daily Work

The quad-core 8th Gen Core i7 and 16GB RAM handle heavy multitasking with Office, Teams and many browser tabs. Microsoft Office, Teams, Zoom, QuickBooks, Sage and web-based systems run smoothly, and the NVMe SSD boots Windows 11 in seconds.

A Clear 14-inch Screen

The 14-inch IPS panel gives wide viewing angles for documents, spreadsheets and video calls, and the non-touch matte finish reduces glare in bright offices.

Ports and Charging

Thunderbolt 3 connects docks, monitors and fast drives, while USB-A, HDMI and the microSD reader cover flash disks, projectors and camera cards. The laptop charges over USB-C, and Rapid Charge refills the 57Wh battery quickly between meetings.
