My co-workers buy Mac Book Pro, I buy T480s. My first laptop was a T20 with a Pentium III running Win98. I kept it all this time, sitting on my lap right now. The keyboards still feel the same. Takes me back to the old days as an IT Pro now for 20 years.
I just got the T480s with the i7 and MX150..... and the WQHD panel... and this thing is very impressive. I didn't care for a touch screen on a business laptop... but I did care about getting a good *non glossy* panel for content creation (with close to 100% srgb). I absolutely don't regret going for it. I initially was looking for an X1, but the dedicated gpu option + memory slot + sd card reader on the 480s were the things that pushed me toward the T480s.
How are the thermals when watching RUclips and web browsing? I heard alot people complain that it gets hot even when the laptop is at idle with no apps opened.
@@justarandomlol I have the integrated graphics version and it gets around 60-65 degress when watching RUclips videos and fan kicks in and goes back to around 55. Also normal web browsing get get up to 60. Fans frequently on and off. Except this behavior (can be handled with 3rd party apps to run at low rmp constantly) I'm really satisfied with the machine. I'm Ubuntu with KDE Plasma, and it is fast as hell.
I was looking for a good used laptop and the ThinkPad T480s caught my eye and I saw an affordable one. Then I looked some more and found a couple of deals that could be said to be even better. But as that dawned on me, I felt a tug in my heart. I couldn't let go of the ThinkPad. The look speaks to me. It looks so likeable. I'm gonna go after it even though it might not be as good a deal objectively.
I just bought accidentally T480s thinking that its T480 but with typo from online seller lol 😅 Coming from Macbook Pro user of 10yrs. But I remember wanting thinkpads back in the day. This is finally my time to use thinkpads, I know I'm late for the party. It'll arrive next week and I hope I'll enjoy it.
It's going very strong. No issues. All I would say is to choose the higher battery capacity since the middle option has a bump as well as the biggest capacity. If you don't want a bump, then get the first option. Other than that.. everything is going good.
I was wondering how would using this laptop for sometime affect the battery life and efficiency? Looking for a cheap/decent laptop options and it seems this model delivers a lot. Appreciate your feedback.
@@morpheus8891I have used this laptop for school but mostly at home with it plugged in all the time. I used to get around 10hrs of use but now it's around 6hrs. I have to change both the batteries. Good thing I can get some off brand for cheaper because OEM batteries aren't cheap.
Would the T480s i5, 8th generation, with 16gb RAM, and 256SSD, be a decent used laptop in 2023, used mainly for online classes? I've had good experience with Lenovo before for work, so now I'm considering this used/refurbished laptop for my kids online classes.
@@pablolopez4289 T480s is slimer, more premium, but also more expansive than T480. 16GB of RAM is not exactly "short on memrory". It's actually a nice system even in 2023.
I prefer the T480. It’s got the power bridge and I got a 72wh external battery giving me more than double the battery life. 2 upgradeable ram slots. 2 ssd slots etc.
@1:26 I'm sorry but is that a curved widescreen CRT display in the cabinet?? Or is the camera angle just messing with me and its a regular old square TV.
Lenovo is the best windows machine.. they produce the most rugged windows machines. When comparing laptops, Lenovos thinkpad can match with apple machines head to head and if care is not taken thinkpads will win
if you have the camera slider then you do not have the webcam that does windows hello.........the hello webcam only comes on the model with the highest spec screen and there's no slider for the cam then.
If it's not too late I strongly advise you to go with the thinkpad. I got an XPS 15 9570 and had it replaced 3 times, shit customer support and shit quality control. Poor speaker & keyboard quality and a lot of other small issues, just don't do it to yourself, trust me.
My dell XPS 9560 got the infamous battery expansion problem making the touchpad unusable and agree with kiwwiz, dell support is totally useless. They wanted me to reset to factory settings to “prove” that it’s not a software issue (even though it’s pretty obvious now that the touchpad is protruding) before sending it to the depot....for 2-3 weeks. Also good luck finding a battery replacement; they don’t sell it. That’s why I’m watching this vid lol
It supports hd encryption, secure boot, vpro management, option for 4g LTE, easy to customize and deploy for it management, It's light but powerfull for productivity apps, it last about 8 hours on one charge, its got the best laptop keyboard, plenty of ports, secure digital print reader with hardware security chip, the keyboard is waterproof and back-ligthed, it has plenty of ports and even a native ethernet with extra dongle for mac adressing and pxe/bootp/... support, military spec solidity, very lightweight so easy to cary in a bag, and so on. It's built like a tank, you can drop it, flood it.

a lot of people actually like the thinkpad look. Its like a glock
astrophysx lol I thought the same thing. Very plain utilitarian look
I like the glock comparison. It looks badass I. My opinion
This is actually exactly why i have several of both... Best of the best (out of the box).

Not buying for its sexyness? It's sexy AF!

But I remember wanting thinkpads back in the day.
This is finally my time to use thinkpads, I know I'm late for the party. It'll arrive next week and I hope I'll enjoy it.
Could you tell me about experience with it?
I ordered my T480 last week, it's coming this week. I can't wait till it gets here.
go for t480s, t480 is as heavy as a brick.
@@lijin1133 i would get t480 with 48gb of ram extensibility any day.

Apple, Dell, and Microsoft all get slaughtered by Lenovo when it comes to ports
best laptop for business people
I have this laptop in 2023 and will be using it for 2024.
The only bad thing is, it is a fingerprint magnet.
Great video thanks , I am buying this next week
I am buying this on this week
Good review! I don't think you mentioned that with charger you can get up to 80% charged in an hour.
Great review, thank you!
I like t480 better than anything because it has dual battery and no soldered ram.
I can not see external battery
hahaha i got one yesterday, T480s i7 version, feels like sliding on a buttermilk!
is that still plastic body today i soled my T470S but have no plan for T480s because of plastic body
@@aqkhana2002 T480s is made of alloyed
@@aqkhana2002 magnesium alloy.at least from t440s onward.
@@TriptyXwhat about t460 not s
Thank you ❤

better the T480 without ''s''. And add some ram and ssd.
@@pablolopez4289 why is that? could you please tell us more
@Ammar Al_higary I think the 480s is slimmer !

Would be good for at least 10 more years
Would be interested to see a comparison between this model and the macbook pro and the carbon X1

Is the laptop okay for light video and photo editing with Adobe products ? Is the laptop quiet or more to the noisy side ?
T series best to work, good video
I bought the T480s and it has been good. Has Lenovo come up with a T480s follower?
T490s, then T14s Gen 1, 2 and 3
It's a nice laptop but I'd pay a bit more and get either the P1 or X1 Extreme. If you need ultra portable then X1C is the way to go.

Cool wall frame , can you send link for the Wallframe or the wallpaper quote ?
from an outfit called Startup Vitamins :)
When he says t-series I go 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I broke my laptop as a result of this XD
why?
Can anyone tell me if this has a Glass Trackpad or not?
How reliable is hinges of T490 vs X1 Carbon?
i love Lenovo and i hate with its plastic body which left the figure marks on mouse pad

What does it mean " business " laptoop? ???
It supports hd encryption, secure boot, vpro management, option for 4g LTE, easy to customize and deploy for it management, It's light but powerfull for productivity apps, it last about 8 hours on one charge, its got the best laptop keyboard, plenty of ports, secure digital print reader with hardware security chip, the keyboard is waterproof and back-ligthed, it has plenty of ports and even a native ethernet with extra dongle for mac adressing and pxe/bootp/... support, military spec solidity, very lightweight so easy to cary in a bag, and so on. It's built like a tank, you can drop it, flood it.
it means that you should always wear suit and tie when you are working with it
T 490s is pretty much a downgrade except the CPU. Everything else is just bullshit on it. I will buy the T 480s.
can i update it to 32gb of ram?
no, go for t480 goes up to 48gb of ram.
T480 can hold 64GB (2x32GB stick) and T480s can have 40GB (8GB soldered + 32GB stick)
Link for hat please! :/
