Ready-to-work Ultrabook

This Lenovo ThinkPad T480 or T490 arrives with Windows 11 Pro installed and a 14.0 inch FHD touchscreen. The 8th Gen Intel Core i5-8250U quad-core processor runs at 1.6 GHz with 6 MB L2 cache. 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a 512 GB SSD provide responsive multitasking and fast boot times.

Step up from dual-core or HDD machines

Replacing an older dual-core notebook or a hard-drive system gives a clear jump in everyday speed. The quad-core CPU and solid-state storage cut application load times and make multi-window work feel smooth. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 handles office graphics and video playback without a discrete GPU.

Handles office suites.

The 512 GB drive holds the OS, applications and a large document library with room to spare. 16 GB DDR4 keeps dozens of browser tabs and productivity apps open simultaneously. Heavy video editing, 3D rendering or modern gaming will exceed the integrated graphics and thermal envelope.

Questions about this item

What are the exact dimensions of the 14.0" FHD Touchscreen chassis?

The T490 measures 12.7" x 8.5" x 0.7" while the T480 measures 13.25" x 9.15" x 0.78". You will receive one of these two models depending on availability.

Which screw type secures the 512GB SSD and what alignment step is often missed?

The M.2 drive uses a single retention screw. The key step people miss is inserting the drive at the correct angle before pressing it down and securing the screw.

When should the 45W or 65W AC adapter be replaced?

Replace the adapter if the barrel connector becomes loose, the cable frays near the brick, or the laptop no longer charges while powered on.
