Designed to go places
With up to 12 hours of battery, the ThinkPad L490 will last all day*. When running low on power, rapid-charging technology will give you 80% battery capacity in just 60 minutes. In addition, the optional backlit keyboard—with white LEDs—allows you to work in low-light conditions.
* All battery life claims are approximate and based on results using both the MobileMark® 2014 battery-life benchmark tests. Actual battery life will vary and depends on many factors such as product configuration and usage, software use, wireless functionality, power management settings, and screen brightness. The maximum capacity of the battery will decrease with time and use.
One well-connected machine
The ThinkPad L490 comes with plenty of ports, including HDMI and USB-C. When you’re out and about, stay online even when there’s no WiFi. Choose the optional LTE-A card and the WWAN technology lets your laptop function like a smartphone—where there’s cellular service you can always jump online, and you can trust that your connection is secure.
Log in easily & securely
Why type a password? Thanks to the optional touch fingerprint reader and infrared camera, logging in is quick and secure—via advanced biometric technology and Windows Hello facial software. Plus, with ThinkShutter, you can close the webcam when it's not in use.
