Business ultraportable with 2TB SATA storage

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480s is a 14.0" mainstream laptop running Windows 10 Pro on an Intel Core i5-8250U processor at 1.60 GHz. It ships with 12 GB DDR4 memory and a 2 TB SATA M.2 SSD. The matte IPS display shows 1920 x 1080 resolution. Connectivity includes Bluetooth 4.1, four USB ports, Thunderbolt and 4G LTE WWAN. A fingerprint reader and ThinkPad UltraNav touchpad complete the package. Weight is between 2 and 2.9 lbs.

Suits mobile professionals needing integrated 4G

Buyers who want built-in mobile broadband and a large 2 TB drive in a light chassis will match this configuration. The 12 GB RAM and 8th-generation quad-core CPU handle typical office workloads and video calls. Users who require a touchscreen, a dedicated graphics processor or more than 12 GB of memory should look at other models.

The 2 TB SATA M.2 SSD decides fit

This single drive provides the total internal capacity and uses the SATA protocol through an M.2 slot. If your workflow demands a different storage interface or a larger single volume, this laptop will not meet that requirement.
