Lenovo ThinkPad T480s (14-inch, 2018) Series

Robust build quality ; Decent battery life ; Excellent connectivity ; Good touchpad and keyboard

Subpar display ; Thicker and heavier than alternatives ; Expensive

The ThinkPad T480s doesn’t make as much sense as its predecessors. It’s not as thin and light as the ThinkPad X1 Carbon, and its performance likely isn’t any better when comparing the same processor configurations. While its build is robust, and the...

Durable carbon-fiber chassis. Stellar keyboard. Quiet operation. Useful selection of ports, including Thunderbolt.

Dim display. X1 Carbon is thinner, lighter, and only slightly pricier.

Bottom Line: The 14-inch Lenovo ThinkPad T480s is a well-rounded workhorse laptop, but it can't escape the shadow of its superslim X1 Carbon sibling.

i7 slower than i5 under continuous load ; unrefined CPU performance management (fixed with BIOS 1.11) ; CPU throttling in battery mode ; high surface temperatures ; bad speakers ; ThinkShutter camera cover only included with bad HD webcam

The T480s is a very balanced and high-quality business notebook. The dedicated Nvidia GeForce MX150 (regardless of being a Max-Q version) does make it more versatile, by making it suitable for casual gamers. Though the execution is not quite perfect....

high surface temperatures ; drivers not perfectly optimized yet ; bad speakers ; ThinkShutter camera cover only with the bad HD webcam

Il T480s è un notebook business molto bilanciato e di alta qualità. La Nvidia GeForce MX150 dedicata (indipendentemente dal fatto che sia una versione Max-Q) lo rende più versatile, rendendolo adatto ai giocatori occasionali. Anche se l'esecuzione non...

La nostra impressione iniziale sul nuovo ThinkPad T480s è molto positiva. Lenovo ora usa un pannello WQHD apparentemente più efficiente che deriva dall'X1 Carbon e riesce a migliorare molto l'autonomia della batteria.
