ThinkPad T480s 14" FHD ultrabook

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480s is a 14-inch Full HD ultrabook powered by an 8th-generation Intel Core i7-8650U quad-core processor with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a 256 GB SSD. It runs Windows 10 Pro and uses integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 for display output on its IPS panel. This configuration suits professionals who need a portable business laptop for office applications, video calls and light content work.

Sustained workload behaviour

Under continuous load the quad-core i7-8650U operates at its 1.9 GHz base frequency and can reach 4.2 GHz when thermal headroom allows. The integrated UHD 620 graphics share system memory, so extended 3D or compute tasks will be limited by thermal constraints and the 16 GB DDR4 ceiling. Fan noise and surface temperature rise during prolonged heavy use, which is typical for a thin-and-light chassis.

Setup checks before ordering

Verify that your workflow runs acceptably on integrated graphics and 16 GB of soldered memory, as neither can be upgraded. Confirm that the single 256 GB SSD provides enough local storage or that you can supplement it with cloud or external drives. Ensure the USB-C ports with Power Delivery and DisplayPort meet your docking and peripheral requirements, and that Windows 10 Pro satisfies any software licensing needs.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the i7-8650U get when the T480s runs all day?

The quad-core i7-8650U is a low-power mobile processor designed for ultrabooks, so fan noise stays modest and surface temperatures remain comfortable during typical office workloads.

Does the T480s come with everything I need to start working, or must I buy a charger or dock separately?

An OEM AC adapter is included in the box, so you can power the laptop immediately without purchasing a separate charger.

Can I keep using my older USB-A flash drives and HDMI monitor with the two USB-C ports on this model?

The T480s provides two USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-A ports and a full-size HDMI output alongside its two USB-C ports, so legacy peripherals connect directly without adapters.
