Compact business laptop

The Lenovo ThinkPad X280 is a 12.5-inch ultrabook built for mobile professionals. It ships with Windows 10 Pro and a 1920 x 1080 non-touch FHD panel. An 8th generation Intel Core i5-8350U quad-core processor runs at 1.7 GHz with Turbo Boost up to 3.6 GHz. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 handles display output.

Mobile workers needing 16 GB RAM

This configuration suits users who need 16 GB of DDR4 memory in a light chassis. The single 256 GB M.2 SSD provides fast boot and application load times. Buyers who require a larger screen, discrete graphics or a touchscreen should consider other form factors. Those needing multiple high-capacity drives will find the single M.2 slot limiting.

Single 256 GB M.2 SSD

Storage is provided by one 256 GB M.2 solid-state drive with no secondary drive bay. The 16 GB DDR4 module occupies one memory slot. Verify that this capacity and the lack of a 2.5-inch bay meet your workload requirements before purchase.
