The Lenovo ThinkPad T490s is a 14-inch ultra-portable business ultrabook combining power, portability, and premium build quality — ideal for work, programming, school, travel, or professional workloads on the go. With an 8th-generation Intel Core i7 CPU, a big 1 TB SSD, and up to 32 GB RAM support, it’s built to handle serious multitasking, heavy workflows, and storage-heavy tasks without slowing down.
If equipped with the touchscreen FHD panel and a backlit keyboard, it becomes even more versatile — great for note-taking, presentations, creative tasks, or everyday typing in low light. Added security (fingerprint reader, TPM, optional IR) and lightweight robust chassis make it a reliable choice for professionals and students alike.
