The Lenovo ThinkPad T480s-20L7002AUS (ThinkPad T480s Series) 1TB / 32GB is Lenovo's 2018 laptop featuring a height x width x depth (in mm): 19 x 331 x 227 ( = 0.75 x 13.03 x 8.94 in) display, the Intel Core i5-8250U 4c/8t 4 x 1.6 - 3.4 GHz, Kaby Lake Refresh chipset. At AED 1,399 in the UAE and ₹34,990 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The ThinkPad T480s excels with its Intel Core i5-8250U’s eight threads handling multitasking smoothly and its 57Wh battery delivering up to 10 hours of real-world use. The 32GB RAM upgrade allows heavy tab loads and light virtualization without slowdowns. Its legendary keyboard and full-sized SD card reader suit data entry clerks, auditors, and field technicians needing reliability. The Thunderbolt 3 port enables dual 4K displays or fast external storage. Weakness? The Intel UHD 620 GPU struggles with any GPU-accelerated task beyond basic video playback—no gaming, no video rendering. Storage is SATA SSD, not NVMe, limiting file transfer speeds. In UAE at AED 1399, it’s good value because enterprise-grade durability and battery life outweigh dated graphics. In India at ₹34990, it’s overpriced—newer Ryzen 5 laptops with NVMe storage and better GPUs sell for less, making this a legacy buy only for those needing ThinkPad’s unmatched keyboard and port selection.
