ThinkPad T480/T490 14" FHD i5-8250U

This 14.0-inch ultrabook ships with Windows 10 Pro and an 8th Generation Intel Core i5-8250U quad-core processor running at 1.6 GHz. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 handles the 1920 x 1080 IPS non-touch display. The unit includes 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a 128 GB SSD for the operating system and core applications.

Suited for office work and mobility

The lightweight chassis and non-touch FHD screen suit professionals who need a reliable daily driver for documents, web apps and video calls. Buyers who want more storage capacity or a dedicated graphics processor for creative workloads should look at other configurations. The integrated graphics and modest SSD limit suitability for heavy media editing or large local libraries.

128 GB SSD capacity is the deciding factor

The 128 GB solid-state drive determines how much data you can keep on the device without external storage or cloud sync. If your workflow requires a larger local footprint for projects, virtual machines or media files, this capacity will be the constraint that sends you to a higher-spec unit.
