Lenovo ThinkPad T480s 14" FHD Touch i5-8350U 8GB 1TB SSD

Ultrabook with touch display

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480s is a 14.0" FHD touchscreen ultrabook built for mobile professionals who need a lightweight Windows 11 Pro machine. It combines an 8th Gen Intel Core i5-8350U quad-core processor with 8 GB DDR4 RAM and a 1TB SSD for responsive everyday performance. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 handles standard business visuals. The compact chassis includes Wi-Fi 4, Bluetooth 4.1, and a webcam for remote collaboration.

Quad-core processor with turbo boost

The deciding specification is the Intel Core i5-8350U running at 1.70 GHz with a maximum turbo frequency of 3.60 GHz across four cores and eight threads. This CPU delivers enough multi-threaded speed for office suites, video calls, and light content creation. Buyers who need sustained heavy compute such as video rendering or large dataset analysis will find the thermal envelope limiting. The 6 MB L2 cache supports snappy application switching within that power budget.

Connectivity and expansion options

Two USB 3.1 Gen1 ports and two USB Type-C ports with Power Delivery and DisplayPort support provide flexible docking and peripheral attachment. One USB-A port remains powered in sleep mode for phone charging. HDMI output enables external displays without a dock. The 1TB SSD leaves no empty drive bay for a second internal drive, so storage expansion relies on external solutions. The soldered 8 GB DDR4 memory cannot be upgraded beyond the factory configuration.
