ThinkPad T480 for mobile professionals

The ThinkPad T480 is a 14.0 inch FHD laptop built around an Intel Core i5-7200U dual-core processor that reaches 3.10 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 16GB DDR4 memory and a new 500GB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD. No operating system is installed, so the buyer provides their own.

Suits single-OS deployments.

This configuration suits organisations that deploy a standardised Windows or Linux image across a fleet. The single 500GB drive leaves no room for a second internal volume, so users who need separate OS partitions or large local libraries should look at a model with additional storage bays or a larger SSD.

16GB DDR4 with two slots and 32GB ceiling

Memory is the specification that decides fit: 16GB DDR4 is installed across two slots and the platform supports up to 32GB total. Buyers who expect to run memory-intensive virtual machines or large datasets can expand later, while those already at the limit must choose a different platform.

Questions about this item

What operating system must I install on the ThinkPad T480 to use it?

The laptop ships with no operating system, so you must acquire and install your own copy of Windows or another OS before you can use it.

Will my existing DDR4 SO-DIMM modules work alongside the 16 GB already installed?

Yes, the system has two DDR4 slots and supports up to 32 GB total, so compatible DDR4 modules can be added to the factory 16 GB.

How can I verify the 500 GB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD is recognised after I install an OS?

After installation, open the OS storage utility or BIOS and confirm a 500 GB NVMe drive appears with the expected capacity.
