Compact business laptop

The Lenovo ThinkPad X280 is a 12.5 inch FHD ultrabook powered by an 8th Gen Intel Core i5-8350U quad-core processor with 16 GB DDR4 memory and a 1 TB SSD. It ships with Windows 10 Pro and includes Intel UHD Graphics 620 for everyday visual tasks.

Mobile professionals needing integrated graphics

This configuration suits users who prioritise a light chassis, a full HD non-touch display and a single 16 GB DDR4 module for office applications and web workloads. Buyers who want a dedicated GPU, a touchscreen panel or user-replaceable memory should look at other models.

Sustained office workloads

Under continuous load the quad-core processor operates at its 1.7 GHz base frequency and can reach 3.6 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost while the integrated UHD 620 handles video playback and light rendering without a discrete fan profile change. The 45 W AC adapter supplies power for typical business use throughout the day.

Questions about this item

Which power adapter is required to charge the X280?

The box includes an OEM 45 W AC adapter that plugs into the USB-C port with DisplayPort support.

Can the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 drive an external monitor while the built-in 12.5" 1920 x 1080 panel stays active?

Yes, the USB-C port carries DisplayPort video so a second screen can run alongside the internal FHD display.

How do I verify the quad-core i5-8350U is hitting its 3.6 GHz turbo after setup?

Open Task Manager, select the Performance tab, watch the CPU frequency climb toward 3.6 GHz under load.
