Ready-to-use business ultrabook

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480 or T490 ships with Windows 10 Pro or Windows 11 Pro installed and an OEM 45W or 65W AC adapter. A 14.0 inch FHD IPS panel at 1920 x 1080 resolution provides a non-touch workspace for mobile professionals. An 8th Gen Intel Core i5-8250U quad-core processor at 1.6GHz with 6MB cache and 8GB DDR4 RAM handles office workloads. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 drives the display. A 512GB SSD stores the OS and files.

Stepping up from dual-core or HDD systems

Replacing a dual-core notebook or a machine still running a mechanical hard drive yields noticeable responsiveness gains in multitasking and boot times. The quad-core i5-8250U and 512GB SSD combination removes the storage bottleneck that slows older ultraportables. Buyers who need 16GB or 32GB RAM for heavy virtualization or large datasets should look elsewhere, as this unit ships with 8GB. The non-touch screen also does not suit users who rely on pen or finger input.

Straightforward deployment with cosmetic variance

The laptop arrives fully configured with an operating system and power supply, so initial setup is limited to user account creation and updates. Grade A cosmetic condition means units range from pristine to showing light scratches or minor blemishes; the exact model received — T480 at 3.6 lbs and 13.25 x 9.15 x 0.78 inches or T490 at 3.2 lbs and 12.7 x 8.5 x 0.7 inches — depends on stock. Optional features such as fingerprint readers or SD card slots are not guaranteed on every unit.
