Lenovo ThinkPad T480 Laptop 14" i5-8250U 8GB 240GB SSD Win 11 | Wty

Why the ThinkPad T480 Is the Go-To Business Laptop

• Intel Core i5-8250U 8th Gen: Quad-core processor with 8 threads, 1.6GHz base and 3.4GHz Turbo Boost — handles Office 365, Teams, Zoom, and heavy multitasking without slowing down.
• 16GB DDR4 RAM: Double the typical 8GB found in most refurbished laptops — ideal for running multiple browser tabs, virtual machines, accounting software, and remote desktop sessions simultaneously.
• 256GB NVMe SSD: PCIe NVMe storage delivers fast boot times and snappy app launches. OPAL 2.0 hardware encryption built in for enterprise security compliance.
• MIL-STD-810G Durability: Military-grade tested chassis built to withstand drops, vibration, dust, and temperature extremes — ThinkPad reliability that outlasts consumer-grade laptops.
• Comprehensive Ports: 2× USB 3.1 Type-A, USB 3.1 Type-C, HDMI, RJ-45 Ethernet, and microSD card reader — connect to everything without adapters or docks.
• Windows 11 Pro with Genuine Licence: Full Windows 11 Professional included — BitLocker encryption, Remote Desktop, and domain join for business and IT-managed environments.

How the ThinkPad T480 Performs Day-to-Day

In day-to-day business use, the T480 handles Microsoft 365, Outlook with large mailboxes, Chrome or Edge with 15+ tabs, Teams or Zoom video calls, and PDF workflows all running simultaneously. The 16GB DDR4 RAM gives significantly more headroom than standard 8GB configurations — essential for MYOB, Xero, CRM platforms, and multi-window productivity workflows.

For mobile workers, the combination of 8th Gen performance, NVMe SSD speed, and a 1.65kg chassis makes the T480 a practical daily driver. The IR camera enables Windows Hello facial recognition for fast, password-free login. The legendary ThinkPad keyboard delivers accurate, comfortable typing for long writing and data-entry sessions.

The 14-inch HD display (1366×768) is clear and functional for standard office tasks, email, web browsing, and video calls. For users requiring FHD resolution, the T480 is also available in a Full HD panel variant — this unit ships with the HD configuration.
