Ready for Business Travel

This Lenovo ThinkPad T480s ships new with Windows 10 Pro, an Intel Core i5-8250U processor reaching 3.4 GHz and 16 GB DDR4 memory. The 14.0 inch IPS display shows 1920 x 1080 resolution on a matte panel, while a 1 TB SSD provides fast storage. Integrated Intel UHD 620 graphics handle everyday visual tasks.

Suits Mobile Professionals

The lightweight chassis weighs between 2 and 2.9 lbs and includes a fingerprint reader, ThinkShutter webcam cover and 4G LTE WWAN for secure connectivity anywhere. Thunderbolt support over USB-C adds high-speed docking options. Buyers who need dedicated graphics performance or a larger display should consider other models.

Hinges on the 1 TB SSD

The single specification that decides fit is the 1 TB solid-state drive capacity. It determines how much local data, applications and offline files the laptop can hold without external storage. If the workload demands more internal space, this unit will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

How loud or hot does the ThinkPad T480s get when the i5-8250U runs at 3.4 GHz all day?

The 8th generation Intel Core i5-8250U is designed for sustained performance within the ultraportable chassis; the laptop passes 21 MIL-SPEC tests that include thermal extremes, so it stays within safe limits during extended workloads.

What must I already own to use the Thunderbolt 3 port on this T480s?

You need a Thunderbolt 3-compatible cable or dock and a peripheral that supports the 40 Gbps Thunderbolt 3 standard; the USB-C port on the laptop provides the connection and power delivery.

Will my older USB-A accessories work with the four USB ports on this T480s?

Yes, the four USB ports include traditional USB-A connectors, so existing mice, keyboards, drives and other USB-A devices plug in directly without adapters.
