Ready-to-work ultrabook

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480 or T490 ships with Windows 11 Pro installed and an 8th generation Intel Core i5-8250U quad-core processor. 8 GB of DDR4 memory and a 128 GB SSD handle everyday office applications and web workloads. The 14.0 inch FHD IPS touchscreen runs at 1920 x 1080 resolution with Intel UHD Graphics 620. Connectivity includes USB 3.1, USB-C, HDMI, RJ-45 Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1.

Sustained office performance

The 15 W quad-core CPU maintains clock speeds through typical document, browser and video-call sessions without throttling. Integrated graphics share system memory, so heavy multi-monitor use or light creative tasks stay responsive within the 8 GB limit. The SSD keeps boot and application launch times short during repeated cycles. Long compile jobs or large dataset work will exceed the available RAM and thermal budget.

Thermals, noise and power

Thin ultrabook chassis limit fan speed, so the system runs warm under continuous load but stays quiet during normal productivity use. The included 45 W or 65 W AC adapter supplies enough headroom for charging while the laptop is active. Surface temperatures rise noticeably above the keyboard deck during extended video conferences or background updates. Fan noise remains low at idle and moderate under load.

Questions about this item

How loud or hot does the i5-8250U get when the 14" FHD touchscreen laptop runs all day?

The quad-core i5-8250U at 1.6GHz with integrated UHD 620 graphics is a 15W part, so sustained office workloads keep fan noise low and chassis temperatures comfortable on a desk.

Which cables or peripherals must I already own to use the USB 3.1, USB-C and HDMI ports on this ThinkPad?

The unit ships with a 45W or 65W AC adapter; you only need standard USB-A 3.1 cables, a USB-C cable or hub, and an HDMI cable for external displays.

Will my older SATA SSD work alongside the 128GB NVME drive already installed in this T480/T490?

The laptop uses an M.2 slot for the 128GB NVME boot drive; there is no 2.5" bay, so a legacy SATA SSD cannot be added internally.
