Compact business ultrabook

The Lenovo ThinkPad X280 is a 12.5-inch laptop with a 1366 x 768 HD display, an Intel Core i5-8350U quad-core processor and 8 GB of DDR4 memory. It ships with a 1 TB PCIe M.2 SSD and Windows 11 Pro already installed. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 handles everyday visual tasks.

Check power and ports before ordering

The package includes an OEM 45 W AC adapter so verify your mains plug type or have a suitable travel adapter ready. Connectivity covers a pair of USB 3.0 ports, USB Type-C with DisplayPort functionality, a headphone jack and Intel dual-band wireless with Bluetooth. The screen is non-touch and there is no optical drive.

Fits mobile workflows and light dock setups

The single 8 GB DDR4 module leaves room to expand memory up to 16 GB if your workload grows. USB Type-C video output lets you drive an external monitor without a separate dock, while the compact chassis frees desk space. Buyers who need more storage, a higher-resolution panel or discrete graphics should look elsewhere.
