14-inch FHD Touchscreen Ultrabook

This Lenovo ThinkPad T480 is a 14-inch FHD touchscreen ultrabook powered by an Intel Core i7-8550U quad-core processor at 1.8 GHz with 32 GB of DDR4 memory and a 128 GB SSD. It runs Windows 11 Pro and includes Intel UHD Graphics 620 for integrated graphics performance. The chassis is black and weighs approximately 3.6 lbs. Connectivity includes three USB 3.1 ports, one USB-C port, HDMI, RJ-45 Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1.

Suited for office multitasking not for heavy

The 32 GB of DDR4 RAM and quad-core processor make this unit suitable for users who run multiple business applications, virtual machines or large spreadsheets simultaneously. The 128 GB SSD provides fast boot and application loading for a primary workstation. Buyers who need a larger storage capacity or a discrete graphics card for rendering or gaming should consider other options. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 handles general productivity and video playback but is not designed for 3D workloads.

128 GB SSD capacity decides fit

The single specification that determines whether this is the right part is the 128 GB SSD capacity. If the user's operating system, applications and active project files fit comfortably within that space, the laptop serves as a capable daily driver. If the workflow demands a larger local library of media, databases or virtual machine images, the fixed 128 GB capacity will be a constraint. No other storage drive is present in this configuration.

Questions about this item

What does the USB 3.1 interface on this ThinkPad T480 cap at in real use?

The three USB 3.1 ports run at up to 10 Gbps, so external SSDs or docks hit their own controller limits before the port does.

What physical space and mounting does the internal M.2 drive need?

It uses a standard 2280 M.2 slot with SATA or NVME signalling; the drive sits flat and is secured by a single screw on the motherboard.

How is Windows 11 Pro installed on this unit, and what step do people miss?

The OS arrives pre-installed and activated; the step often skipped is connecting to the internet on first boot so the digital licence binds to the hardware.
