ThinkPad T480 for daily work

The 14.0 inch FHD display and quad-core i5-8250U give a compact machine that handles office suites, web browsing and video calls. Eight gigabytes of DDR4 keeps several programs open without constant swapping. It ships without an operating system so the buyer installs their preferred OS.

500 GB SATA SSD and 32 GB ceiling

The new 2.5 inch 500 GB SSD provides quick boot and application launch for a typical document and media library. Heavy raw photo batches or large virtual-machine images will fill the drive and demand external storage. Two memory slots allow an upgrade to 32 GB when 8 GB becomes a bottleneck.

No operating system included

The laptop arrives with no OS installed, so the buyer must supply a Windows licence or alternative system before first use. This makes the unit unsuitable for anyone who expects an out-of-the-box desktop. Integrated UHD Graphics 620 covers basic video output but not gaming or GPU compute workloads.

Questions about this item

Will the 8 GB DDR4 soldered to the board limit dual-channel performance if I keep my existing 8 GB DDR4 stick in the second slot?

The system has two DDR4 slots and supports up to 32 GB total, so adding a matching stick in the free slot enables dual-channel mode without removing the original memory.

How can I verify the Intel UHD Graphics 620 is active after I install an operating system?

Open Device Manager in Windows or run lspci on Linux; the adapter will appear as Intel UHD Graphics 620 with the 1920 x 1080 panel detected at its native resolution.

Does the package include a 2.5" SATA drive caddy and screws for the new 500 GB SSD, or must I source them separately?

The new 500 GB SSD is already installed in the 2.5" SATA bay, so no extra caddy or screws are required for the primary drive.
