Business Ultraportable for Mobile Professionals

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480s is a 14.0" business laptop built for mobile professionals who need reliable performance in a lightweight chassis. It runs Windows 7 Professional on an Intel Core i7-8550U processor with a base clock of 1.80 GHz and a turbo frequency up to 4.0 GHz. The system includes 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a 2 TB SATA M.2 SSD for fast storage access.

Suited for Secure Office Work Not High-End Graphics

This configuration suits users who prioritise security features like the match-on-chip fingerprint reader and ThinkShutter webcam cover for daily business tasks. The 14" IPS FHD matte display at 1920 x 1080 resolution offers clear visuals for documents and web apps. Buyers needing discrete graphics performance for 3D rendering or modern gaming should look elsewhere as this model relies on integrated Intel UHD 620 graphics.

Thunderbolt 3 Docking Expands Connectivity

A single Thunderbolt 3 port provides up to 40 Gbps bandwidth for docking stations, external displays and high-speed peripherals while also supplying power. Four USB ports and Bluetooth 4.1 handle legacy accessories and wireless mice without dongles. The integrated 4G LTE WWAN module enables cellular connectivity on the move. MIL-SPEC testing across 21 standards ensures durability for frequent travel.

Questions about this item

What operating system and processor does the Lenovo ThinkPad T480s ship with so I know my software will run?

It comes with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and an Intel Core i7-8550U processor running at 1.80 GHz with a maximum turbo of 4.00 GHz.

Will the Thunderbolt 3 port on this T480s work with my older USB-C dock that only supports USB 3.1?

Yes, the Thunderbolt 3 port is backwards compatible with USB-C devices, so your existing USB 3.1 dock will function for data and video, though at USB speeds rather than the full 40 Gbps.

How can I confirm the fingerprint reader and WWAN module are active after I set up the laptop?

Open Windows Device Manager and verify that a fingerprint sensor appears under Biometric devices and a WWAN adapter appears under Network adapters; both should show as working properly.
