Description

Lenovo ThinkPad T480 — 14" Touchscreen Business Laptop

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480 is a proven 14" business workhorse with a responsive Full HD touchscreen — 8th Gen Intel i5, 8GB RAM and a fast 256GB NVMe SSD, ready for everyday office, study and remote work. Backed by Reboot IT's 12-month warranty.

Key Benefits

  • 14" Full HD touchscreen: matte anti-glare IPS panel with 10-point capacitive touch for natural Windows 11 gestures and easy on-screen signing.
  • Intel Core i5-8350U: 4 cores / 8 threads up to 3.6 GHz turbo — handles Office, Teams, Zoom and multi-tab browsing comfortably.
  • 8GB DDR4 RAM: SODIMM memory is upgradeable to 32GB if your workload grows.
  • 256GB NVMe SSD: PCIe storage with self-encrypting OPAL support — fast boots and secure data at rest.
  • Business-grade build: MIL-SPEC tested chassis, spill-resistant backlit keyboard, fingerprint reader, IR camera with Windows Hello, TPM 2.0.
  • Full connectivity: USB-C with display-out, dual USB-A 3.1, HDMI 1.4, RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet, SD card reader, Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 4.1.

Performance in Use

The T480 hits the sweet spot for everyday business use. Boot to Windows 11 desktop takes under 15 seconds, and Office, Outlook, Teams and Edge all launch instantly thanks to the NVMe storage. With 8GB of RAM you can comfortably keep email, a video call and 15-20 browser tabs open without slowdown.

The Full HD touchscreen makes scrolling long PDFs, tapping through forms or signing documents directly on-screen quick and natural. For students and remote workers this is an ideal "second laptop" or budget primary machine — write documents, run Zoom calls, browse research, watch lectures, edit photos in basic apps. The 14" IPS panel has good viewing angles and is comfortable for long sessions. Intel UHD 620 graphics handle dual external 1080p monitors via HDMI and USB-C.

Battery life on the dual-battery configuration (internal + external swappable) typically runs 6–9 hours depending on workload, and the T480 charges over USB-C or the included slim-tip power adapter. The famously good ThinkPad keyboard and TrackPoint make it a comfortable productivity machine.

Frequently asked questions

What does the warranty cover?

Our warranty covers all hardware faults, but please note it doesn’t cover accidental damage or software issues. However, we’re here to help with technical support for those matters!

What is a refurbished device?

A refurbished device is a pre-owned item that has been restored to meet high-quality standards. At Reboot IT, we adhere to strict quality guidelines, ensuring that our refurbished products are not the same as used or secondhand items. We meticulously clean, test, and assess each device, replacing worn parts with high-quality components.

Unlike used items, which lack guarantees and rely solely on the seller's word regarding condition, refurbished devices come with assurance of quality and reliability.
