Ready-to-deploy business ultrabook

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480 or T490 ships with Windows 10 Pro, an 8th Gen Intel Core i5-8250U quad-core processor and 8 GB of DDR4 memory. A 14.0 inch FHD IPS panel at 1920 x 1080 provides a non-touch workspace suited to office applications and video calls. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 handles everyday visual tasks without a discrete GPU.

Sustained thermal behaviour

The 15 W quad-core CPU maintains base clocks of 1.6 GHz under continuous load, with 6 MB of L2 cache helping to keep latency low during long compile or spreadsheet sessions. Passive and active cooling in the ultrabook chassis is designed for typical business workloads rather than extended render loops, so prolonged heavy compute will see gradual frequency reduction.

Installation and common issues

The unit arrives with an OEM 45 W or 65 W AC adapter and Windows 11 Pro pre-installed, so first boot requires only network sign-in and driver updates. Optional fingerprint reader and SD card slot may be absent depending on the specific chassis received, and the stock photos do not guarantee exact port layout between the T480 and T490 models.

Questions about this item

Does the Intel Core i5-8250U with Intel UHD Graphics 620 run hot or loud under sustained office workloads?

The quad-core i5-8250U at 1.6 GHz uses integrated UHD 620 graphics and a 45 W or 65 W AC adapter, so typical office loads stay cool and the fan remains quiet.

Which cables and peripherals do I need to connect external monitors and wired networking right away?

The laptop provides HDMI, USB-C and an RJ-45 Ethernet port, so an HDMI cable and a standard network cable are all that are required for displays and wired LAN.

Will my existing USB 3.1 Type-A dock and Bluetooth 4.1 headset work without adapters?

Three USB 3.1 Type-A ports and Bluetooth 4.1 are built in, so current docks and headsets pair and connect directly.
