ThinkPad X280 ultrabook for mobile professionals

The 12.5" FHD 1920 x 1080 non-touch display fits a Quad-core i5-8350U, 8 GB DDR4 RAM and a 128 GB SSD into a compact black chassis. Windows 11 Pro is installed and the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 handles everyday visual tasks. Intel Dual Band Wireless with Bluetooth keeps you connected on the move.

Replaces heavier legacy notebooks

Swapping an older dual-core machine for this 8th Gen quad-core design adds four cores and eight threads with Turbo up to 3.6 GHz. The jump is worth it when you need faster multitasking, quicker boot from the PCIe M.2 SSD and a thinner profile for daily carry. Buyers who want more storage or a dedicated GPU should look elsewhere.

Fits a light carry build

Two USB 3.0 ports and USB Type-C with DisplayPort functionality drive peripherals and external monitors without a dock. The 45 W AC adapter keeps the bag light while the 8 GB single-module layout leaves room for a future memory upgrade up to 16 GB. A front webcam covers video calls out of the box.
