Business laptop for mobile professionals

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480s ships new with Windows 7 Professional, an Intel Core i5-8250U processor reaching 3.4 GHz, 12 GB DDR4 memory and a 2 TB SATA SSD. A 14.0 inch IPS display at 1920 x 1080 resolution provides a matte finish suited to office lighting.

Suits users needing legacy OS compatibility

Buyers who require a supported operating system or Thunderbolt 3 speeds of 40 Gbps should look elsewhere. The configuration also lacks a touchscreen and discrete graphics, limiting its fit for modern creative workloads.

Standard clamshell installation

Initial configuration involves accepting the Windows 7 licence, enrolling fingerprints on the match-on-chip reader and pairing Bluetooth 4.1 peripherals. Driver availability for the older OS can complicate later hardware additions.

Questions about this item

Does the 2TB SATA M.2 SSD require a 2.5-inch drive caddy or bracket to install?

The 2TB SATA M.2 SSD installs directly into the M.2 slot on the motherboard; no 2.5-inch caddy or bracket is needed.

Will my existing USB-A peripherals work with the USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports on this T480s?

Yes, the four USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports are fully backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 devices.

How can I verify the Intel Core i5-8250U is reaching its 3.40 GHz turbo frequency under load?

Open Task Manager's Performance tab or run a monitoring tool such as HWMonitor while stressing the CPU; the clock speed should show up to 3.40 GHz.
