ThinkPad T480s 14" Business Laptop

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480s is a 14-inch business laptop powered by an Intel Core i5-8250U processor with 12GB of DDR4 memory and a 256GB PCIe NVMe solid-state drive. It runs Windows 10 Pro and features a 1920 x 1080 IPS matte display, integrated fingerprint reader and 4G LTE WWAN capability.

Suits mobile professionals needing WWAN

This configuration suits professionals who require always-on connectivity through the built-in 4G LTE modem and fast peripheral support via Thunderbolt. Buyers who need a touchscreen, a larger display or discrete graphics should consider other models.

Deciding specification: integrated 4G LTE WWAN

The defining feature is the factory-installed 4G LTE WWAN module, which provides cellular connectivity without external dongles. If your workflow does not require mobile broadband, a similar unit without WWAN reduces cost and complexity.

Questions about this item

How do I add the 4G LTE WWAN module and which slot does it use?

The WWAN module installs into the M.2 2242 Key B slot under the bottom cover; the step people miss is inserting the SIM card into the tray before reassembling the laptop.

Which parts will need replacement first during the laptop's life?

The 48 Wh internal battery and the 256 GB NVMe SSD are the components most likely to wear out and require replacement.

What performance limit appears first when the i5-8250U runs heavy workloads continuously?

Sustained loads push the processor to its thermal ceiling, causing it to lower clock speeds below the 3.4 GHz turbo to stay within its power envelope.
