14" FHD Non-Touch Ultrabook

This Lenovo ThinkPad T480 or T490 Ultrabook ships new with a 14.0 inch 1920 x 1080 IPS display. It runs on an Intel Core i5-8250U quad-core processor at 1.6 GHz with 8 GB DDR4 RAM and a 256 GB SSD. Windows 10 Pro is preinstalled alongside integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620.

Business users needing a 14 inch laptop

The 8th Gen quad-core CPU and 8 GB memory suit office applications, web browsing and video calls via the front-facing webcam. Connectivity includes 3 x USB 3.1 ports, 1 x USB-C, HDMI and RJ-45 Ethernet plus Bluetooth 4.1. Buyers who need discrete graphics, more than 32 GB RAM or a touchscreen should look elsewhere.

256 GB SSD storage capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the 256 GB solid-state drive. It provides the operating system volume and primary data space with no secondary hard drive installed. If your workload requires a larger boot drive or additional internal storage bays, this unit will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item
