The Lenovo ThinkPad T480s-20L7002AUS (ThinkPad T480s Series) 512GB / 16GB 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 999 in the UAE and ₹24,990 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 16GB RAM upgrade (not the base 8GB) ensures fluid operation with multiple apps open, while the Thunderbolt 3 port enables fast external GPU or display expansion. Its legendary keyboard and fingerprint reader enhance productivity for professionals who type extensively. Weakness: Intel UHD 620 graphics lack VRAM and can’t handle modern gaming or video rendering; thermals throttle under sustained load. Storage is SATA SSD, not NVMe, limiting read/write speeds. In UAE at AED 999, it’s good value because you get enterprise durability, Thunderbolt, and long battery at under half its original price. In India at ₹24990, it’s overpriced—new Ryzen 5 laptops with NVMe SSD and better graphics start near ₹22000, offering superior performance per rupee.
