Dazzle yourself & others
The FHD display is great for enhancing your battery life. Also, features a new narrower bezel design for a sleeker design and more productive workday.
Tested for battle, built for life
Like all ThinkPad laptops, the T490 is tested against 12 military-grade requirements and more than 200 quality checks to ensure it runs in extreme conditions. From the Arctic wilderness to desert dust storms, from zero gravity to spills and drops, you can trust this laptop to handle whatever life throws your way.
Stay connected
Whether you're out in the world or working at your desk, the ThinkPad T490 keeps you connected. A USB-C side mechanical docking station that easily connects with two male Type-C ports that slide into and automatically level your device.
We’ve got your back—and your front
Keep your business data—and your privacy—safe with the comprehensive suite of ThinkShield security features. The discrete Trusted Platform Module (dTPM) encrypts data and works in conjunction with Windows 11 Pro security for even more protection. ThinkShutter, a physical camera cover, blocks the webcam lens so you’re only seen when you want to be. The optional fingerprint reader uses biometrics to log you in with a simple touch.
For your eyes only
As part of ThinkShield security, we offer a combination of hardware and software that work together to ensure what’s on your display is for your eyes only. PrivacyGuard is a built-in privacy filter that makes it so what you’re doing is only visible when viewed head-on – anyone looking from an angle will only see a darkened screen. PrivacyAlert is integrated software that works with the IR camera to detect when others are looking over your shoulder and notify you of the potential threat with a popup alert.
