Business Laptop

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480s is a 14-inch mainstream notebook powered by an Intel Core i5-8250U processor with 16GB of DDR4 memory and a 2TB NVMe solid-state drive. It runs Windows 10 Pro on a matte IPS display at 1920x1080 resolution and includes a fingerprint reader, backlit keyboard and 4-in-1 card reader. Weighing between 2 and 2.9 lbs, it is built to pass 21 MIL-SPEC tests for durability. Thunderbolt 3 support provides up to 40 Gbps throughput over USB-C.

Mobile Professionals

This configuration suits professionals who need a light, durable machine with ample local storage and secure biometric login for office or travel use. The integrated UHD 620 graphics and non-touch Full HD panel meet everyday productivity and video conferencing needs. Buyers who require dedicated graphics performance for 3D rendering or gaming should consider other systems. The 16GB memory is soldered and not user-expandable, so users anticipating heavier multitasking workloads will need a different platform.

Storage Capacity

The single specification that determines fit is the 2TB NVMe SSD, which provides substantial high-speed capacity for large project files, local databases and offline media libraries. If your workflow depends on keeping terabytes of data on the device without external drives, this capacity covers it. If you rely primarily on cloud storage or network shares and need less local space, a smaller drive would reduce cost without affecting daily performance.

Questions about this item

Will my older USB 3.0 dock and HDMI monitor work with the T480s USB-C and Thunderbolt 3 ports?

The laptop has four USB ports including USB-C with Thunderbolt 3; legacy USB 3.0 docks and HDMI monitors connect via the Type-A ports or a passive adapter.

How can I verify the Intel Core i5-8250U is reaching its 3.40 GHz turbo and the 2 TB NVMe drive is healthy after first boot?

Open Task Manager Performance tab to watch the CPU clock hit 3.40 GHz under load and run the built-in Windows drive health check on the 2 TB NVMe SSD.

Does the box contain a Thunderbolt 3 cable for the USB-C port or must I buy one separately?

The package includes the laptop, USB-C power adapter and documentation; a Thunderbolt 3 cable is not supplied and must be purchased separately.
