The Lenovo ThinkPad E480-20KNCTO1WW (ThinkPad E480 Series) 1TB / 16GB is Lenovo's 2018 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 19.9 x 329 x 242 ( = 0.78 x 12.95 x 9.53 in) display, the Intel Core i5-8250U 4c/8t 4 x 1.6 - 3.4 GHz, Kaby Lake Refresh chipset. At AED 1,049 in the UAE and ₹25,990 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Lenovo ThinkPad E480 excels with its Intel Core i5-8250U’s eight threads, delivering reliable multitasking for office apps and light coding, paired with a durable keyboard and 45Wh battery offering up to 7 hours under moderate use. Its 16GB RAM upgrade (from 4GB stock) and dual DDR4 slots allow future-proofing to 32GB, while the 1TB HDD provides ample storage, though speeds are slow at 5400 RPM. The fingerprint reader and dual USB 3.1 ports enhance usability. Weakness: Intel UHD 620 struggles with any GPU load—video rendering or multiple displays over HDMI and DisplayPort will stutter. Weight at 1.787kg is acceptable, but thermals throttle under sustained load. In UAE at AED 1049, it’s good value because the build and upgradeability justify the price for basic business tasks. In India at ₹25990, it’s overpriced—same specs are available new for less, and used E480s sell for under ₹18000.
