The i5-8250U runs at a 1.60 GHz base with a 3.4 GHz turbo, delivering four threads for office multitasking. Thunderbolt over USB-C adds 40 Gbps bandwidth for docks and external storage.

Questions about this item

What are the physical dimensions and weight of the T480s for a laptop bag or sleeve?

The 14.0 inch laptop weighs between 2 and 2.9 lbs and has a 14 inch screen, so choose a bag or sleeve sized for a standard 14 inch ultrabook.

How do I install Windows updates and drivers on this T480s, and what step is commonly missed?

Run Windows Update in Windows 10 Pro, then use Lenovo Vantage for driver updates; the step often missed is installing the Thunderbolt firmware update separately to enable the 40 Gbps port.

When will the internal battery of this T480s need replacement?

The internal battery typically lasts 2 to 3 years before capacity drops noticeably; replacement requires removing the bottom cover and disconnecting the battery cable.
