Purpose-built business laptop

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480s is a 14-inch Windows 10 Pro notebook powered by an Intel Core i5-8250U processor running at 1.60 GHz with a maximum turbo of 3.40 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a 500 GB SSD. The 1920 x 1080 IPS matte display, fingerprint reader, Bluetooth 4.1 and integrated 4G LTE WWAN complete a feature set aimed at mobile professionals who need a ready-to-deploy system.

Suited for secure mobile work.

This configuration suits buyers who want a lightweight chassis that passes 21 MIL-SPEC durability tests, a match-on-chip fingerprint reader and a physical webcam shutter for privacy. Thunderbolt 3 over USB-C provides 40 Gbps bandwidth for docks or external GPUs. Buyers who need a touchscreen, a dedicated graphics processor or a larger display should look at something else.

Deciding spec: 16 GB DDR4 soldered memory

The 16 GB DDR4 is the single specification that determines whether this unit fits the workload. Because the memory is not upgradeable, the buyer must confirm that 16 GB satisfies current and near-term multitasking demands before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Will the ThinkPad T480s Thunderbolt 3 port let me keep using my older USB-A dock and monitors?

The laptop has four USB ports plus Thunderbolt 3 over USB-C; you can connect legacy USB-A peripherals directly or through a simple adapter while still using the Thunderbolt port for newer devices.

How can I confirm the Core i5-8250U and 16 GB DDR4 are running at their rated speeds after first boot?

Open Task Manager or the Windows System panel to verify the processor shows up to 3.4 GHz boost and that 16 GB of DDR4 memory is recognised.

Does the box include a WWAN antenna and SIM tray for the 4G LTE module, or must I source them separately?

The WWAN hardware is factory-installed; the antenna cables and SIM slot are built into the chassis so no extra parts are needed for mobile broadband.
