Business ultraportable for mobile professionals

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480s is a 14-inch laptop built for people who work away from a desk. It pairs an Intel Core i7-8550U processor running at 1.80 GHz with 8 GB of DDR4 memory and a 2 TB SATA solid-state drive. The matte IPS panel shows 1920 x 1080 resolution. Windows 7 Professional 64-bit is installed.

Ready to use with standard ports

The system arrives fully assembled and boots straight to the desktop. Four USB ports and a Thunderbolt 3 connection handle peripherals and external displays without adapters. The UltraNav touchpad and TrackPoint give two pointing options. A fingerprint reader and webcam cover add physical security. The main limitation is the soldered memory, which cannot be upgraded later.

Suits travellers needing legacy OS and storage

This configuration fits buyers who need Windows 7 Professional for specific applications and want a large 2 TB drive in a chassis under 2.9 lbs. It is not for users who require more than 8 GB of RAM, a touchscreen, or a newer operating system out of the box. Gamers and heavy video editors should look at something else.
