Business ultraportable for mobile professionals

The 2018 Lenovo ThinkPad T480s is a 14.0" laptop built for executives and field staff who need a light, durable machine. It weighs between 2 and 2.9 lbs and carries Windows 10 Pro out of the box. MIL-SPEC testing across 21 criteria confirms it can survive hazardous physical and environmental conditions.

16 GB DDR4 and 256 GB NVMe handle daily workloads

The 16 GB DDR4 memory and 256 GB PCIe NVMe SSD provide enough headroom for office suites, video calls and light virtualization. The Intel Core i7-8650U runs at 1.90 GHz base with a 4.20 GHz turbo, while Intel UHD 620 graphics drive the 1920 x 1080 IPS matte panel. Heavy 3D rendering or large dataset processing will exceed the integrated graphics and thermal envelope.

Upgrade from older ultraportables lacking

This model replaces 7th-generation ultraportables that omit Thunderbolt 3 and NVMe storage. The single Thunderbolt 3 port delivers 40 Gbps bandwidth for docks, external GPUs or dual 4K displays. Buyers who need a second internal drive bay, discrete graphics or a touchscreen should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will the Thunderbolt 3 port work with my existing USB-C dock and monitors?

The Thunderbolt 3 port delivers up to 40 Gbps data and video bandwidth, so it will drive compatible USB-C docks and displays while also supplying power.

How can I verify the Intel Core i7-8650U is hitting its 4.2 GHz boost after I set up Windows 10 Pro?

Open Task Manager's Performance tab or a tool like HWiNFO and watch the core clocks under load; you should see speeds climb toward 4.2 GHz on active cores.

Does the box include a smart-card reader module or do I need to buy one separately?

The smart-card reader is built into the chassis, so nothing extra is required; the package contains the laptop, AC adapter and standard documentation.
