ThinkPad T480s 14" Business Laptop

This new Lenovo ThinkPad T480s runs Windows 10 Pro on an Intel Core i5-8250U processor with a base clock of 1.60 GHz and a maximum turbo of 3.40 GHz. It has a 14.0 inch non-touch IPS display at 1920 x 1080 resolution, 12 GB of DDR4 memory and a 1 TB SSD. The matte black chassis weighs between 2 and 2.9 lbs.

Suits mobile professionals needing durability

The MIL-SPEC tested build, fingerprint reader and optional 4G LTE WWAN support workers who travel or operate in the field. Thunderbolt 3 over USB-C adds high-speed docking and peripheral options. Buyers who want a touchscreen, a larger screen or a discrete graphics card should look elsewhere.

12 GB soldered memory configuration

The system ships with 12 GB of DDR4 memory in a fixed layout that cannot be upgraded after purchase. Confirm this capacity meets your workload requirements before ordering.

Questions about this item

What size internal drive bay does the ThinkPad T480s use for the 1TB SSD?

The 1TB SSD fits the standard M.2 2280 slot inside the chassis.

Which screw must be removed first when opening the case to reach the memory slots?

Loosen the single captive screw on the bottom cover before prying the panel off; forcing it without releasing that screw cracks the plastic clips.

When will the soldered 4GB portion of the 12GB DDR4 memory need replacement?

The soldered 4GB cannot be replaced; only the 8GB SO-DIMM slot is upgradeable, so plan around that fixed portion.
