Built for Mobile Professionals

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480s is a 14-inch business laptop powered by an Intel Core i7-8550U processor with 24 GB of DDR4 memory and a 2 TB SATA SSD. It ships with Windows 7 Professional and includes a fingerprint reader, 4G LTE WWAN, and Thunderbolt connectivity for demanding workflows away from the desk.

Suited to Legacy OS Requirements

This configuration suits users who depend on Windows 7 Professional compatibility or need integrated 4G LTE connectivity in a lightweight chassis. Buyers who require a modern supported operating system, a touchscreen interface, or a higher-resolution display panel should evaluate alternative platforms.

Integrates into Docked or Mobile Setups

Thunderbolt 3 and USB 3.0 ports enable single-cable docking to external monitors and peripherals while supplying power. The matte IPS panel reduces glare in bright environments, and the UltraNav pointing system provides precise cursor control without an external mouse when working in transit.

Questions about this item

What existing Thunderbolt 3 devices can I connect to the USB-C port for 40 Gbps throughput?

Any Thunderbolt 3 peripheral — dock, external GPU, high-speed storage — will run at full 40 Gbps bandwidth through the single USB-C port while also delivering power to the laptop.

Will the 24 GB DDR4 memory and i7-8550U processor keep pace with legacy SATA peripherals I still use?

The 24 GB DDR4 and quad-core i7-8550U at up to 4.0 GHz provide ample headroom for older SATA drives or docks attached via USB-A, so legacy storage will not bottleneck daily workloads.

How can I verify the fingerprint reader and ThinkShutter webcam cover are functioning after first boot?

Open Windows Biometric settings to enroll a finger — successful enrollment proves the match-on-chip reader works; slide the ThinkShutter cover open and confirm the camera preview appears, then close it and verify the preview goes black.
