14-inch FHD IPS display

The 14.0-inch screen uses IPS technology at a 1920 x 1080 resolution with a 250 cd/m2 brightness and 700:1 contrast ratio. Viewing angles reach 170 degrees horizontally and vertically. The anti-glare finish reduces reflections in bright offices.

Business users needing 24GB RAM

The 24GB DDR4 memory supports heavy multitasking across many browser tabs and office applications. Buyers who want more storage than the 512GB NVMe SSD provides should look at other configurations. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 does not suit 3D rendering or gaming workloads.

Quad-core i5-8265U processor

The Intel Core i5-8265U runs at a 1.6 GHz base frequency and reaches 3.9 GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0. Four cores handle typical business software and video calls without difficulty. This CPU is not intended for sustained high-performance compute tasks.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the i5-8265U get when the T490 runs all day?

The quad-core i5-8265U operates at a base 1.6 GHz and can boost to 3.9 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost 2.0, so sustained workloads will raise fan speed and surface temperature but the 14" chassis is designed for business-day thermal loads.

What must I already own to use the Thunderbolt port on this T490?

You need a Thunderbolt-compatible cable and a Thunderbolt peripheral such as a dock, monitor or external drive; the port also carries DisplayPort video and PCIe data for compatible devices.

Will my older HDMI monitor work with the T490's HDMI output?

Yes, the HDMI port drives external displays up to 4K resolution, so a legacy 1080p or 1440p monitor connects directly without adapters.
