Lenovo ThinkPad T480s 14" i5-8250U 16GB 2TB SSD Win 7 Pro

Business Laptop with Windows 7 Pro

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480s is a 14-inch business laptop that ships with Windows 7 Professional pre-installed. It is aimed at organisations that still rely on legacy 64-bit applications and need a modern, MIL-SPEC tested chassis to run them. The system combines an Intel Core i5-8250U processor with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a 2 TB SATA solid-state drive. A matte IPS display and fingerprint reader complete the core feature set.

For Legacy Software Environments

This unit suits IT departments maintaining certified Windows 7 workloads, particularly where 16 GB of memory and 2 TB of local storage are required for large datasets. The 1.60 GHz quad-core processor with 3.40 GHz turbo handles typical office multitasking and web-based tools. Buyers who need a supported operating system for security compliance, or who require Thunderbolt 3 peripherals at the full 40 Gbps specification, should look at a newer platform. The non-touch 1080p panel also rules out pen or finger input workflows.

2 TB SATA SSD Capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the 2 TB SATA solid-state drive, which provides high-capacity storage on the SATA bus. It eliminates the mechanical hard drive found in older fleets while keeping the familiar SATA protocol for imaging and cloning workflows. The 16 GB DDR4 complement and 14-inch 1920 x 1080 IPS matte screen are fixed, so the drive capacity is the primary variable that matches or misses a deployment requirement.
