Business-ready ultraportable

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480s is a new 14.0" mainstream laptop built for professionals who need a durable, secure Windows 10 Pro machine. It runs on an Intel Core i5-8250U processor with a base speed of 1.60 GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 3.40 GHz, supported by 8 GB of DDR4 memory and a 2 TB SATA SSD. The matte IPS display delivers a 1920 x 1080 resolution, while a fingerprint reader and webcam cover add hardware-level security for mobile work.

Suits mobile professionals; not for heavy creators

This configuration suits buyers who prioritise MIL-SPEC tested reliability, Thunderbolt connectivity, and a lightweight chassis between 2 and 2.9 lbs for daily business travel. It is not suited for users who need a touchscreen, dedicated graphics memory beyond the integrated Intel UHD 620, or upgradeable system memory beyond the soldered 8 GB. Buyers requiring larger screens or higher multi-core performance for rendering should look at different form factors.

Soldered 8 GB DDR4 limits multitasking headroom

The single most decisive specification is the fixed 8 GB DDR4 memory, which cannot be expanded after purchase. While the 2 TB SATA SSD provides generous storage capacity and the four USB ports plus Thunderbolt offer flexible I/O, the memory ceiling determines how many virtual machines, large datasets, or browser tabs can run simultaneously. Confirm this limit aligns with your workload before committing.

Questions about this item

Does the 8 GB DDR4 memory require an empty SO-DIMM slot, or is it soldered to the motherboard?

The 8 GB DDR4 is soldered to the motherboard; there is no user-accessible SO-DIMM slot, so the capacity cannot be increased after purchase.

Will the Intel Thunderbolt 3 port work with my existing USB-C dock that only supports USB 3.1?

Yes, the Thunderbolt 3 port is backward-compatible with USB-C 3.1 docks, though bandwidth will be limited to the dock's 10 Gbps rating rather than the port's 40 Gbps maximum.

How can I confirm the 2 TB SATA M.2 SSD is recognised at full capacity in Windows 10 Pro?

Open Disk Management (Win+X → Disk Management); the drive should appear as a single 2 TB partition with the NTFS file system and show "Healthy (Primary Partition)".
