Compact business ultrabook

The Lenovo ThinkPad X280 is a 12.5-inch laptop built for mobile professionals who need a lightweight Windows 11 Pro machine. It ships with a quad-core Intel Core i5-8350U processor, 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a 512 GB SSD. The non-touch FHD display runs at 1920 x 1080 resolution. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 handles everyday visual tasks.

Quad-core i5-8350U with Turbo Boost

The processor operates at a 1.7 GHz base frequency and can reach 3.6 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Technology across its four cores and eight threads. This single specification determines whether the system meets the performance threshold for your workload. The 8 MB cache supports responsive multitasking in office applications and web-based tools.

Connectivity includes a pair of USB 3.0 ports and USB Type-C ports that carry DisplayPort signals for external monitors. Wireless networking and Bluetooth are integrated.
