Lenovo ThinkPad T480s i5-8250U 24GB 180GB 14" FHD WWAN

Business laptop for mobile professionals

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480s is a 14 inch business laptop built for mobile professionals who need reliable performance in a lightweight chassis. It ships with Windows 7 Professional and an Intel Core i5-8250U processor running at 1.60 GHz with a maximum turbo frequency of 3.40 GHz. The system includes 24 GB of DDR4 memory and a 180 GB SSD for fast boot and application loads. A 14.0 inch IPS display with 1920 x 1080 resolution and a matte finish completes the core specification.

Thermals noise and power in daily use

The ultra-low-power Intel Core i5-8250U processor operates at a base frequency of 1.60 GHz and boosts to 3.40 GHz, keeping heat output modest during typical office workloads such as document editing, web browsing and video conferencing. Integrated Intel UHD 620 graphics handle display output without a discrete GPU, further reducing thermal load. The compact 14 inch form factor and efficient 8th generation architecture allow the cooling system to run quietly under normal use while maintaining consistent performance.

Single specification that decides fit

The installed operating system is Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, an end-of-life release that no longer receives security updates from Microsoft. Organisations with compliance requirements or users who depend on current browser and application support will need to plan an immediate upgrade to a supported Windows version. Buyers who cannot migrate the OS or who require a laptop with a current, supported operating system out of the box should consider a different model.
