What this laptop is

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480 is a 14.0" FHD touchscreen ultrabook running Windows 10 Pro on an Intel Core i7-8550U quad-core processor with 8 GB DDR4 memory and a 512 GB SSD. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 drives the 1920 x 1080 IPS panel.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Buyers wanting a compact business notebook with a touchscreen, quad-core performance and a full port selection including HDMI, RJ-45 and USB-C will find it fits. Users who need discrete graphics, more than 8 GB of RAM, a larger display or a lighter chassis should consider other configurations.

The specification that decides fit

The 8 GB DDR4 memory is soldered and not upgradeable, so the system cannot be expanded beyond this capacity. If your workload requires 16 GB or 32 GB you will need a different unit.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 8 GB or 16 GB RAM option for the i7-8550U?

The listed unit ships with 8 GB DDR4; the supplier notes 16 GB and 32 GB are available in other configurations, so choose the higher capacity if you run virtual machines or large spreadsheets.

What does the 1.8 GHz quad-core rating mean for everyday workloads?

The i7-8550U runs at 1.8 GHz base with four cores, giving responsive multitasking for office apps, web browsing and video playback while the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 handles the 1920 x 1080 touchscreen smoothly.

Which USB standard is on the USB-C port and what speed does it cap at?

The spec sheet lists USB 3.1 ports and a USB-C port; USB 3.1 caps at 10 Gbps, so the USB-C connection will not exceed that throughput.
