14.0" FHD Touchscreen Ultrabook

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480 or T490 is a 14.0 inch Full HD touchscreen ultrabook powered by an 8th Gen Intel Core i5-8250U quad-core processor with 1.6 GHz base speed and 6 MB L2 cache. It ships with 16 GB DDR4 memory, a 256 GB SSD and Windows 10 Pro pre-installed. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 handles everyday visual tasks.

Thermals, noise and power draw

The ultrabook ships with an OEM 45 W or 65 W AC adapter, indicating modest power requirements in normal use. Integrated graphics and a low-voltage processor keep heat output and fan noise low during typical office workloads. No discrete GPU means quieter operation and lower sustained power draw.

Build quality and connectivity

Grade A cosmetic condition units show excellent to very good appearance with only light scratches possible. The chassis provides three USB 3.1 ports, one USB-C port, HDMI, RJ-45 Ethernet, a front-facing webcam, Intel Dual Band Wireless and Bluetooth 4.1. Optional SD card reader and fingerprint reader may not be present on every unit.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 256 GB NVME SSD and what step is often missed?

The M.2 NVME drive slides into the internal slot at an angle and is secured with a single screw; the step often missed is fully seating the drive before tightening the screw, which prevents the connector from making proper contact.

What maintenance will the 16 GB DDR4 memory need later?

The 16 GB DDR4 is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be upgraded or replaced; no routine maintenance is required, but a motherboard swap would be needed if a memory fault ever occurs.

What limit appears first during sustained heavy workloads on the Core i5-8250U?

The 15 W thermal envelope of the Intel Core i5-8250U triggers clock throttling before the 45 W or 65 W AC adapter reaches its output ceiling, so sustained multi-core speeds drop to stay within the cooling capacity.
