ThinkPad T480s with 8th-gen Core i5

The ThinkPad T480s is a 14-inch business laptop built around an Intel Core i5-8250U processor that reaches 3.4 GHz. It ships with Windows 7 Professional, 8 GB of DDR4 memory and a 500 GB solid-state drive. The matte IPS panel shows 1920 x 1080 resolution without touch input.

MIL-SPEC tested chassis with Thunderbolt 3

The laptop passes 21 MIL-SPEC tests for durability in harsh environments. A match-on-chip fingerprint reader and a physical webcam shutter protect data and privacy. Thunderbolt 3 over USB-C delivers up to 40 Gbps of bandwidth for docks, storage and external displays. Bluetooth 4.1 handles wireless peripherals.

Upgrade from older ultraportables lacking

The combination of Thunderbolt 3, a 500 GB SSD and 8 GB of DDR4 memory removes bottlenecks common in earlier thin-and-light models. Buyers who need a larger internal drive or more than 8 GB of soldered memory should look elsewhere. The 14.0-inch form factor stays under 2.9 lbs for frequent travel.

Questions about this item

What does the Thunderbolt 3 port on the ThinkPad T480s actually deliver in speed?

The Thunderbolt 3 port reaches up to 40 Gbps, giving four times the data and twice the video bandwidth of other ports while also supplying power.

What physical space does the 14.0 inch laptop need to fit in a bag?

The T480s weighs between 2 and 2.9 lbs and has a 14.0 inch footprint, so it fits most slim briefcases or backpack sleeves.

How is the 500GB SSD installed and what step do people miss?

The SSD comes pre-installed with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit; the step users miss is enabling BitLocker or setting a BIOS supervisor password to activate the drive encryption hardware.
