ThinkPad X280 with quad-core i5-8350U

The Lenovo ThinkPad X280 is a 12.5-inch ultrabook built around an 8th-generation Intel Core i5-8350U processor with four cores and eight threads. It ships with 16 GB of DDR4 memory in a single module and a 128 GB PCIe M.2 solid-state drive. The 1920 x 1080 non-touch display and Windows 11 Pro come ready for immediate deployment.

Suited to mobile professionals needing a light

This configuration suits professionals who value a compact 12.5-inch form factor, integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620, and a pre-installed Windows 11 Pro licence for managed environments. Buyers who want more storage capacity, a touchscreen, discrete graphics, or a larger display should look at other models.

Connectivity and expansion for a compact build

The chassis provides a pair of USB 3.0 ports, USB Type-C ports with DisplayPort functionality, a headphone jack, and Intel dual-band wireless with Bluetooth. A 45 W AC adapter is included. The single memory module leaves one slot free for future upgrades, while the M.2 drive slot is occupied by the 128 GB SSD.
