Mobile workstation for business users

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480s is a 14.0" ultrabook built around an 8th Gen Intel Core i7-8650U quad-core processor running at 1.90 GHz with a maximum turbo of 4.20 GHz. It ships with Windows 10 Pro and targets professionals who need a lightweight, durable chassis for office productivity, video calls and light content creation on the move.

1 TB SSD capacity with 8 GB DDR4 memory

The 1 TB solid-state drive provides ample space for operating system, applications and large project files without relying on external storage. The 8 GB of DDR4 RAM handles typical multitasking such as browser tabs, office suites and video conferencing smoothly, though memory-intensive workloads like virtual machines or heavy rendering will hit the soldered limit.

Integrated graphics thermals and efficient power use

Intel UHD Graphics 620 shares system memory and keeps heat output low during document work, web browsing and 1080p playback. The fan remains quiet under light loads and only spins up noticeably during sustained CPU turbo periods. The 65 W USB-C power delivery adapter supplies enough headroom for charging while the system runs typical business applications.

Questions about this item

Will the USB Type-C ports on the T480s charge my older phone that only supports USB 2.0?

Yes, the two USB Type-C ports support Power Delivery and data transfer and will negotiate down to USB 2.0 speeds for legacy devices.

How can I verify the quad-core i7-8650U is hitting its 4.20 GHz boost clock under load?

Open Task Manager’s Performance tab or a tool like HWMonitor while running a heavy workload; the CPU frequency graph should show peaks at 4.20 GHz on active cores.

Does the box include a USB-C to HDMI adapter or must I buy one separately?

The package contains the T480s and an OEM AC adapter only; a USB-C to HDMI adapter is not included and must be purchased separately.
