Business laptop with large storage

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480s is a 14‑inch business laptop running Windows 10 Pro. It pairs an Intel Core i5‑8250U processor with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a 2 TB SATA M.2 SSD for ample local storage. The matte IPS panel shows 1920 × 1080 resolution. A fingerprint reader and TPM add hardware‑based sign‑in security.

Best for office work, not heavy graphics

This configuration suits professionals who need a light, durable machine for documents, email and web apps. The integrated Intel UHD 620 graphics handle typical office tasks and video playback. Buyers who want more storage or discrete GPU performance for rendering, gaming or CAD should look at a different class of system.

SATA SSD caps transfer speed

The 2 TB drive connects over SATA, so its maximum throughput is limited to the SATA 6 Gbps interface rather than faster PCIe lanes. If your workflow moves very large files and demands higher sequential speeds, this storage interface may become the bottleneck.
