Lenovo ThinkPad T480: Why should you buy: 2023! 

buy used T480 Using T480 2,11 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 from T440P maxed all to 64 GB RAM, 512 SSD-NVME and 256 M.2 SATA, WIFI 6E AX210, and it feels great, recommend it to all my Colleague in the office and they to use used thinkpad T480

Thank you Dave, excellent review. I personally don't like the T480 because it feels kinda plasticky compared to premium ThinkPads -- also the stock cooling system on the iGPU model is pretty weak. 8th gen CPUs are basically choked by that single heat pipe. The common mod is to swap it for the dual-pipe cooler from the dGPU model, but I'm too lazy for this. The TB3 port is only 2 lanes so it limits external GPUs quite a bit. The trackpad on both the T480 and the T480s is nice when it's new but it becomes shiny and kinda sticky when the plastic surface wears up. I replaced the trackpad in my T480s with the glass trackpad from the X1 Yoga and it was a massive improvement. Finally, the stock screens on these laptops are nice and sharp but they are rather dim and the color fidelity is also not the best. Still, it's one of the best slim and reliable laptops that one can get for less than €300.

A really precise review and helpful for people looking for a great budget machine! Bravo

Shoutout to an excellent review and brother Tas! I always hated these 6 cell downwards protruding external batteries they introduced on the ThinkPads. First memory of them was on a couple of T460p machines I set up for my colleagues. Looking at the 9 cell backwards protruding batteries on ALL of my W-series ThinkPads, they are so much more convenient!

Great review! It is very nice to see a review of equipment which is really used. Very nice and smart setup :)

And shoutout to Tas who has amazing knowledge - I ping him as well as brother Atli if I need support as well as Laptop Retrospective - great guys!

Has a good beard ✅️ Talks about lenovo ✅️ Talks about Linux ✅️ Even if this man had no subs, that's good enough reason to trust his words 😂❤

Just bought an i5 T480s 24 gig with train commuting in mind. Otherwise, I would have bought a T480 which as you have demonstrated is more adaptable. Great vid.

Great informative video.Thank you bro

fantastic review!

Love your stuff, dude! I'll fcking purchase a T480 soon!

Got an eBay T480S and it’s running Linux Mint great. Only issue is the fingerprint sensor is a bit finicky and the screen isn’t the brightest. I did set scaling to 120%. I’d also like a backlit keyboard (maybe I’ll do a swap). But it’s great for the price.

Thank You

I Should have known, but didn't. Thinking my 4 ext. battery from a T450S would fit on a T480. They do not, now I know 🤔

Your setup looks very cosy.

That's cool man but I'm waiting for the AMD ones. I'll buy a T480 if the prices come down to somewhat of x250 levels today. NVME drives make a great case for SWAP space as more RAM gets needed as time progresses, especially in linux.

Hi, i have t480 too, in my opinion, this is the best laptop i have ever used! The problem is the battery, now is not taking charge and with the message this battery is not supported and will not charge on lenovo vantage app. Im wondering is there any way to revive the battery since it only have nearly 40 cycle and full capacity.

Do a t480S version

thanks for sharing. informative video

Now this is a review, wow man.

Can I put an 11th gen i5 in it, I'd like the Iris Xe for some light gaming

Can you run Elite Dangerous with the Intel UHD iGPU? How many FPS you can get from that?

Just got one :)

I guess it must be much more expensive because no one that makes videos about this thing have the dGPU.

hey do all T480 have two batteries? or there are T480 models with one?

Why do you say the dock is limited to 200 Mbps?

Hi how Pop os working on this laptop? How long battery life in pop os?
