The Lenovo ThinkPad E480-20KNCTO1WW (ThinkPad E480 Series) 512GB / 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 799 in the UAE and ₹19,990 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The ThinkPad E480 excels with its Intel Core i5-8250U’s eight threads, enabling smooth multitasking across office apps and light coding, while the 512GB SSD ensures fast boot and app load times. Its 45Wh battery delivers up to 7 hours under moderate use, outlasting many contemporaries. The 16GB RAM upgrade (from its base 4GB) is critical—this machine needs it to avoid bottlenecks. The keyboard is legendary for typing comfort, and the fingerprint reader adds quick login. Weakness? Intel UHD 620 graphics can’t handle video editing or gaming beyond basic tasks, and the single free RAM slot limits future upgrades to 32GB max. The USB 2.0 port feels archaic, and the 1.787kg weight is heavy for daily carry. In UAE at AED 799, it’s good value because you get a durable business chassis with usable performance for light work. In India at ₹19990, it’s overpriced—similar Ryzen 3 or i3 laptops with better GPUs and newer Wi-Fi 6 are available for less.
