14-inch Touch Ultrabook for Mobile Professionals

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480 or T490 delivers a 14.0-inch FHD IPS touchscreen driven by an 8th Gen Intel Core i5-8250U quad-core processor at 1.6GHz. Windows 10 Pro or Windows 11 Pro comes preinstalled. It targets mobile professionals who need a durable, portable machine for office applications, web conferencing and light content creation on the move.

16 GB DDR4 and 512 GB SSD Provide Daily Headroom

Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 memory handles multitasking across browser tabs, productivity suites and background sync without paging. The 512 GB solid-state drive offers fast boot and app launch times while storing a large local file library. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 supports external displays via HDMI but runs out of steam for 3D rendering, video encoding or modern gaming workloads.

MIL-STD Chassis with Versatile Legacy and Modern

The black ThinkPad chassis meets military-grade durability tests and resists everyday knocks. Connectivity includes three USB 3.1 Type-A ports, one USB-C port, HDMI, RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1. An optional fingerprint reader and SD/MicroSD slot may be present depending on the specific unit shipped. The 45 W or 65 W OEM AC adapter is included.
