Lenovo Thinkpad T480S 14-inch Windows 10 Pro Touch

The Lenovo Thinkpad T480S is a 14-inch laptop running Windows 10 Pro with a touchscreen. It uses an Intel i5 processor at 1.70 GHz, 8 GB of memory, and a 256 GB HDD. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 drives the 1920 x 1080 display. The unit weighs 2.0 kg and includes a webcam for video calls.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This laptop suits everyday office work, web browsing, and document editing on the move. The touchscreen helps with direct interaction and annotation tasks. Buyers who want more storage capacity or faster solid-state storage should look elsewhere. Users needing discrete graphics for gaming, video editing, or 3D rendering should consider other systems. The 8 GB memory is not upgradeable beyond the listed amount.

Deciding specification: 256 GB HDD storage type

The single specification that decides fit is the 256 GB HDD. A hard disk drive is slower than a solid-state drive for boot times, application launches, and file transfers. If fast storage responsiveness is a priority, this drive type will not meet that need. If capacity at low cost matters more than speed, the HDD is adequate. Check this point before purchase.
