Ready for mobile work

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480 or T490 Ultrabook delivers an Intel Core i7-8550U quad-core processor at 1.8GHz with 8GB DDR4 memory and a 1TB SSD. A 14.0 inch FHD IPS panel at 1920 x 1080 resolution provides clear visuals without touch input. Windows 10 Pro comes preinstalled on this new unit.

Suits office and travel use

Professionals needing a durable 14 inch chassis with USB 3.1, USB-C, HDMI and RJ-45 Ethernet connectivity will find the port selection practical. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 handles everyday tasks but cannot drive 3D workloads or multiple external displays at high refresh rates. Buyers who want dedicated graphics, a touchscreen or user-upgradable memory should look elsewhere.

Straightforward deployment

The laptop arrives with Windows 11 Pro installed and an OEM 45W or 65W AC adapter included. Simply connect power, complete the out-of-box experience and install any required drivers from Lenovo support. Common issues include missing optional features such as fingerprint reader or SD card slot depending on the specific T480 or T490 unit received.

Questions about this item

What ports do I need on my existing monitor or dock to use the HDMI and USB-C video outputs on this ThinkPad?

The laptop provides one HDMI port and one USB-C port for external displays; your monitor or dock must accept an HDMI 1.4 signal or a USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode connection.

Will the USB 3.1 Type-A ports on this unit run at full speed with my older USB 2.0 flash drives and hard disks?

Yes, the three USB 3.1 Type-A ports are backward compatible and will operate USB 2.0 devices at their native 480 Mbps rate.

How can I confirm the Intel UHD Graphics 620 is active and driving the 1920 x 1080 IPS panel after I power on?

Open Device Manager in Windows 11 Pro, expand Display adapters, and verify Intel UHD Graphics 620 is listed without error codes; the screen should show the native 1920 x 1080 resolution.
