Lenovo ThinkPad T480s i5-8250U 12GB 1TB 14" FHD WWAN Black

Business ultraportable with 14" matte display

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480s is a 14.0-inch business laptop built around an Intel Core i5-8250U processor running at 1.60 GHz with a maximum turbo of 3.40 GHz. It ships with 12 GB of DDR4 memory and a 1 TB SSD, running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. The IPS panel delivers 1920 x 1080 resolution on a non-touch matte surface, suited to mobile professionals who need a lightweight chassis for daily productivity.

Thunderbolt 3 and WWAN expand connectivity

A Thunderbolt 3 port provides up to 40 Gbps data transfer and video bandwidth over USB-C while supplying power to attached devices. Integrated 4G LTE WWAN adds mobile broadband without a separate dongle. Bluetooth 4.1 handles short-range peripherals. A match-on-chip fingerprint reader and a physical webcam cover (ThinkShutter) reinforce login security and privacy for travelling workers.

Soldered memory limits upgrades; WWAN needs a SIM

The 12 GB DDR4 configuration is soldered to the motherboard, so memory cannot be increased after purchase. Storage uses a single M.2 slot, allowing one SSD replacement if more capacity is required. WWAN functionality requires an active nano-SIM and carrier plan. The 21 MIL-SPEC tests confirm rugged construction, but the non-touch screen and Windows 7 Pro OS may not suit users wanting modern touch workflows or current OS support.
