MIL-SPEC Chassis with Thunderbolt 3

The laptop has passed 21 MIL-SPEC tests covering shock, vibration and temperature extremes. A match-on-chip fingerprint reader and a physical ThinkShutter webcam cover provide hardware-level privacy controls. Thunderbolt 3 over USB-C delivers 40 Gbps bandwidth for docks or external GPUs while also supplying power. Bluetooth 4.1 handles peripheral pairing without a dongle.

Questions about this item

What practical speed limit does the Thunderbolt 3 port on this ThinkPad T480s impose?

The Thunderbolt 3 port delivers up to 40 Gbps, providing four times the data and twice the video bandwidth of other port types while also supplying power.

What are the physical dimensions and weight range that determine if this T480s fits a sleeve or bag?

It has a 14.0 inch screen and weighs between 2 and 2.9 lbs, making it compatible with most 14-inch laptop sleeves and bags.

How is the 2TB PCIe NVMe SSD installed in this T480s, and what step do people often miss?

The 2TB PCIe NVMe SSD comes factory-installed; the common oversight is failing to enable the NVMe controller in BIOS before cloning or restoring an OS image.
