14-inch FHD Touch Ultrabook

This Lenovo ThinkPad T480 or T490 is a 14.0-inch Full HD touchscreen ultrabook running Windows 10 Pro. It is built for professionals who need a portable 1.8 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7-8550U machine with 16 GB DDR4 memory and a 128 GB SSD. The IPS panel and integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 handle everyday office workloads and video calls.

128 GB SSD capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the 128 GB solid-state drive. It provides fast boot and application launch for a core OS and essential programs, but it leaves little room for large media libraries, local databases or multiple virtual machines. Buyers who need more onboard space should look at a larger drive configuration.

Mobile professionals needing touch input

This unit suits mobile professionals who value the 14-inch touchscreen for annotations, presentations or tablet-mode use in meetings. It is not for buyers who want more storage without an external drive, gamers who require discrete graphics, or users who need a guaranteed single model rather than a T480 or T490 fulfilled by availability.

Questions about this item

How does the 1.8 GHz quad-core i7-8550U perform in everyday multitasking?

The 1.8 GHz base clock on four cores handles office workloads, web browsing and video calls smoothly; Turbo Boost raises speeds when thermal headroom allows.

What does the USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A and USB-C port combination limit for external drives?

USB 3.1 Gen 1 runs at 5 Gbps on both Type-A and Type-C ports, so external SSD transfers peak at the interface ceiling rather than the drive's own maximum.

Will this 14.0" chassis accept a standard 2.5" SATA drive alongside the M.2 SSD?

The T480 includes a 2.5" bay for SATA storage while the T490 relies solely on its M.2 slot; the unit you receive determines which option is available.
