ThinkPad T480 / T490 14" FHD Ultrabook

This Lenovo ThinkPad T480 or T490 is a 14.0 inch FHD non-touch ultrabook running Windows 10 Pro. It uses an 8th Gen Intel Core i7-8550U quad-core processor at 1.8 GHz with 8 MB L2 cache, 8 GB DDR4 memory and a 128 GB SSD. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 drives the 1920 x 1080 IPS panel.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Buyers wanting a light 14 inch business laptop with quad-core performance, a full port selection including USB 3.1, USB-C, HDMI and RJ-45, plus a webcam and fingerprint-reader option will find it fits. Users who need a dedicated GPU, a touchscreen, more than 128 GB of storage out of the box, or a newer Windows version than 10 Pro should consider other models.

Deciding specification — 128 GB SSD

The installed 128 GB SSD is the single spec that determines whether this unit meets your storage needs. If your workload, applications and local files require more capacity, you will need to upgrade the drive or choose a different configuration.

Questions about this item

Does the T480 or T490 need an external monitor or docking station to run the 1920 x 1080 FHD display?

No, the built-in 14.0" IPS panel already runs at 1920 x 1080; an external monitor or dock is optional.

Can I keep my older USB 3.0 Type-A peripherals and plug them into the 3 x USB 3.1 ports on the T480 or T490?

Yes, the three USB 3.1 Type-A ports are backward-compatible with USB 3.0 and 2.0 devices.

After first boot, how do I confirm the i7-8550U is running at its 1.8 GHz base speed and the 128 GB SSD is recognised?

Open Task Manager → Performance tab; CPU shows Intel Core i7-8550U at 1.8 GHz base and the SSD lists 128 GB capacity.
