Business laptop for mobile professionals

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480s is a 14-inch business laptop built for professionals who need reliable performance on the move. It ships new with Windows 7 Professional, an Intel Core i5-8250U processor reaching 3.4 GHz, 24 GB of DDR4 memory and a 128 GB SSD. The matte IPS display runs at 1920 x 1080 resolution and the chassis weighs between 2 and 2.9 lbs.

Upgrade path from older ultraportables

This unit replaces an aging ultraportable when the jump to a quad-core 8th-generation Intel Core i5 and 24 GB of memory is worth it for heavier multitasking. The 128 GB SSD offers faster boot and application loading than a mechanical drive, while the fingerprint reader and ThinkShutter webcam cover add hardware-level security missing on many older models. Buyers who need more storage capacity or a newer operating system should look elsewhere.

Connectivity limits of the onboard ports

The laptop provides four USB ports and Bluetooth 4.1 for peripheral connections. Its USB-C port supports Thunderbolt at up to 40 Gbps, delivering four times the data bandwidth of earlier USB standards and the ability to drive external displays while supplying power. The integrated Intel UHD 620 graphics and the 14-inch non-touch screen define the visual output ceiling for this platform.
