Ready-to-use ultrabook

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480/T490 series delivers a 14.0 inch FHD IPS panel at 1920 x 1080 resolution without touch input. An 8th Gen Intel Core i5-8250U quad-core processor running at 1.6 GHz pairs with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a 128 GB SSD. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed on a unit graded cosmetically Grade A.

Ports and expansion

Each chassis provides three USB 3.1 ports, one USB-C port, HDMI output and an RJ-45 Ethernet jack for wired networks. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 drives the display while Intel Dual Band Wireless and Bluetooth 4.1 handle wireless links. Storage uses an M.2 form factor supporting SATA or NVME drives up to 1 TB, and memory can reach 32 GB DDR4.

Included power and software

An OEM 45 W or 65 W AC adapter ships in the box so the notebook is operational immediately. Windows 11 Pro activates out of the box with a genuine licence. The package contains the laptop and charger only; optional features such as a fingerprint reader or card reader are not guaranteed on every unit.

Questions about this item

Will the 128 GB SSD hold my working set once the system and apps are installed?

The unit ships with a 128 GB SSD and Windows 11 Pro already installed; remaining space depends on the applications you add.

Does the Intel UHD 620 graphics or the quad-core i5-8250U throttle noticeably when the laptop runs all day?

The i5-8250U has a 1.6 GHz base clock and the integrated UHD 620 shares system memory; sustained loads will be managed by the internal thermal design.

Which docks or peripherals can I plug into the single USB-C and three USB 3.1 ports?

The laptop provides one USB-C port, three USB 3.1 ports, HDMI and RJ-45 Ethernet for monitors, wired networks and USB accessories.
