14-inch Touch Ultrabook for Mobile Professionals

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480s pairs an 8th-generation Intel Core i7-8650U quad-core processor with 16 GB of DDR4 memory and a 512 GB SSD. A 14.0-inch FHD IPS touchscreen running at 1920 x 1080 resolution provides precise input for annotation and presentation work. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 drives the display and external monitors through HDMI and USB-C. Windows 11 Pro is installed and ready for enterprise deployment.

Sustained Performance with Quad-Core Efficiency

Under continuous load the i7-8650U operates at its 1.90 GHz base frequency across four cores and eight threads, with a maximum turbo of 4.20 GHz available for shorter bursts. The 8 MB L2 cache helps maintain throughput during extended compile, encryption or spreadsheet calculation sessions. Passive and active cooling keeps the ultrabook chassis stable during long workdays without throttling the integrated graphics or storage subsystem.

16 GB Soldered Memory Limits Future Expansion

The 16 GB DDR4 configuration is fixed on the motherboard with no SO-DIMM slot for upgrades. Buyers who anticipate heavier virtualisation, large dataset analysis or memory-intensive creative workloads should verify this capacity meets their multi-year requirements before purchase. The 512 GB SSD remains replaceable via the M.2 slot for storage growth.

Questions about this item

How much heat and fan noise does the quad-core i7-8650U generate when the 14.0" touchscreen runs all day?

The i7-8650U is a 4-core, 8-thread processor with a 1.9 GHz base and 4.2 GHz boost; the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 shares the same thermal envelope, so sustained loads keep the single fan active but generally quiet in an office setting.

Which cables or peripherals must I already own to use the two USB 3.1 Gen1 ports and two USB-C ports on this T480s?

The laptop provides two USB 3.1 Gen1 Type-A ports and two USB-C ports that support Power Delivery, DisplayPort and data; bring your own USB-A devices, USB-C chargers, monitors with DisplayPort alt-mode or USB-C docks to use them.

Will my existing SATA or NVME M.2 SSD work as a secondary drive alongside the installed 512 GB SSD?

The 512 GB SSD occupies the primary M.2 slot; the platform supports SATA and NVME M.2 drives, so an additional M.2 module can be added if a second slot is physically present.
