Lenovo ThinkPad T490s 14" Touch i5-8265U 8GB 256GB SSD Win 11 Pro Laptop Wty
Lenovo ThinkPad T490s — Business-Grade 14" Touch Ultrabook
The Lenovo ThinkPad T490s is a slim, durable business ultrabook built for serious work. It pairs the 8th Gen Intel Core i5-8265U with 8GB DDR4 RAM and a fast 256GB NVMe SSD, behind a 14-inch Full HD touchscreen. Legendary ThinkPad keyboard, magnesium chassis and Windows 11 Pro make it a dependable daily driver. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty. Free standard AU shipping included.
Why Choose the ThinkPad T490s?
- i5-8265U — 8th Gen quad-core: 4-core, 8-thread, up to 3.9GHz — strong for Office, web, video calls and everyday multitasking.
- 8GB DDR4 RAM (expandable): One SODIMM slot lets you add more memory later as your workload grows.
- 256GB NVMe SSD: Fast boot and app launch, with plenty of room for documents, downloads and everyday files.
- 14" Full HD touchscreen: Crisp 1920×1080 IPS panel with touch — clear visuals and intuitive navigation.
- Legendary ThinkPad build: Spill-resistant keyboard, durable chassis and TrackPoint — engineered for daily business use.
- Windows 11 Pro: Full Windows — domain join, BitLocker and Remote Desktop supported out of the box.
Performance in Use
For professionals and students, the T490s handles a full business workload comfortably. The i5-8265U powers through multi-tab research, Word and Excel, Teams or Zoom calls, and light media tasks without slowing down. The thin-and-light magnesium chassis travels well while staying tough enough for daily commuting.
The 14-inch Full HD IPS display delivers wide viewing angles and accurate colour, and the touch layer adds flexibility for navigation and annotation. The acclaimed ThinkPad keyboard makes long typing sessions a pleasure, and the TrackPoint plus precision touchpad keep your hands on the keys.
Connectivity is a strong point: USB-C with Thunderbolt 3, USB-A 3.1, HDMI and a headphone jack cover virtually every peripheral and external display without dongles. Dual-band WiFi and Bluetooth keep you connected, and the integrated webcam handles video calls cleanly. A built-in security suite including a fingerprint reader supports business-grade sign-in.
