   These processors are part of Intel’s Whiskey Lake family and support low-power consumption for longer battery life.

2. Motherboard and Chipset:
   • The motherboard in the ThinkPad T490 would be designed to support LPDDR4 or DDR4 RAM depending on the configuration.
   • Chipset: The laptop typically uses the Intel UHD 620 integrated GPU, with support for up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM (depending on configuration).
   • The motherboard also has slots for a 2.5-inch SATA HDD/SSD and a M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD for storage.
3. RAM:
   • DDR4 RAM is typically supported, and most T490 models come with 8GB or 16GB of RAM, but some can be configured up to 32GB.
   • If you plan on upgrading or replacing the RAM, ensure you’re using DDR4-2400 or DDR4-2666 depending on the specific processor and motherboard compatibility.
4. Storage:
   • The T490 can support both a 2.5-inch SATA SSD (for additional storage or upgrading) and an M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD for faster data access.
5. Graphics:
   • The ThinkPad T490 primarily uses Intel UHD 620 graphics, but it may have configurations with discrete NVIDIA GeForce MX250 for improved graphics performance (depending on the exact model).

Upgrades and Compatibility:

• RAM Upgrade: If you’re upgrading the RAM on the T490, make sure the RAM is compatible with the DDR4 standards, and check if your specific model has 2x SO-DIMM slots for dual-channel configurations.
• Storage: You can easily upgrade the storage with an additional M.2 NVMe SSD or swap out the 2.5-inch SATA SSD for one with a larger capacity.
