Business ultraportable with NVMe storage

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480s is a 14.0" laptop built for mobile professionals who need a durable, lightweight machine. It ships new with Windows 7 Professional, an Intel Core i5-8250U processor running at 1.60 GHz up to 3.40 GHz, and 8 GB of DDR4 memory. A 1 TB PCIe NVMe SSD provides fast storage for documents and applications.

Suits travellers needing WWAN and fingerprint login

This model suits users who require integrated 4G LTE WWAN connectivity and a match-on-chip fingerprint reader for secure authentication away from the office. The 14" IPS FHD matte display at 1920 x 1080 works well in bright conditions. Buyers who need a touchscreen, a newer operating system than Windows 7 Pro, or more than 8 GB of RAM should look elsewhere.

Straightforward setup

Initial configuration follows the standard Windows 7 Pro out-of-box experience and the fingerprint reader enrols quickly in Windows Hello. The Thunderbolt 3 port at up to 40 Gbps allows single-cable docking for power, data and video. The soldered 8 GB memory cannot be upgraded, so buyers anticipating heavier multitasking must accept that limitation.

Questions about this item

Which operating system must already be licensed to activate the Windows 7 Professional install on this ThinkPad T480s?

Windows 7 Professional 64-bit is pre-installed and activated; no separate licence is required to start using the laptop.

Can the Thunderbolt 3 port drive a 4K monitor at 60 Hz while the internal 1920 x 1080 panel stays active?

Yes, Thunderbolt 3 supports up to 40 Gbps bandwidth, enough for 4K 60 Hz external video alongside the built-in FHD display.

How do I confirm the 1 TB PCIe NVMe SSD is recognised at full speed after first boot?

Open Task Manager, select the Performance tab, choose the disk labelled 1 TB NVMe, and verify the reported read/write speeds match PCIe levels.
