Compact 12.5" business ultrabook

The Lenovo ThinkPad X280 is a 12.5 inch ultrabook powered by an 8th generation Intel Core i5-8350U quad-core processor with Intel UHD Graphics 620. It ships with 16 GB DDR4 RAM and a 256 GB SSD, running Windows 11 Pro. The HD display resolves at 1366 x 768 and does not support touch input.

Suits mobile professionals needing legacy ports

This configuration suits professionals who need a lightweight machine with a mix of USB 3.0 and USB Type-C ports that include DisplayPort functionality. Buyers who want a touchscreen, a higher resolution panel, or a dedicated graphics card should look elsewhere.

Single 256 GB SSD determines storage scope

The single 256 GB solid-state drive is the specification that decides whether this unit meets your storage needs. No additional hard drive bay or second M.2 slot is described, so capacity cannot be expanded internally without replacing the drive.
