It’s an incredible laptop! I own one for cybersecurity and it’s perfect for my use case. The upgradability is insane!
if a cybersecurity Pro says its incredible.. that’s pretty much it😉 - just kiddin
Idem t450s touchscreen 😊
so should i buy it ? thinking to get into cybersec and i don't have a laptop all i know i would be running vms in it
I have mine maxed out with 64GB of RAM. It's a solid machine!!!
💯
how long does the battery last for opening multiple chrome tabs?
@@khonsadventure mine usually between 4 to 6 hours
got my t480 with the i5 and upgraded the ssd to 2tb m.2 and the ram to 64gb and install the bigger fan upgrade then goes on the i7 with the gpu and repasted the cpu and gpu with thermal paste and my temps dropped from 76c down to 49c , then installed ubuntu and update the firmware with terminal using a command line to 23.0 then uninstalled since I dont need ubuntu. but i love the keyboard compared to my old m1 macbook air never going back to mac. If this laptop stops working im gonna get a amd thinkpad cause the temps on intel chips are Hott!!.
amazing what you have done with the machine😉
I write at the moment from my Thinkpad T480 with Windows 11 Pro. Still an amazing laptop. Use it on daily basis for work and private.
🔥
One chip on mine decided to become a toasty chip burning the pcb and some traces 😢, but i think i will make a frankenlaptop in the future buying every extra part mine didn't came with ❤, it last me like 5 years, it was a good soldier
I have a P52s, the 15" big brother for this laptop (same as a T580 but with a crappy Quadro). I bought it specifically because I had a T580 at work and I fell in love with it.
can they already start making laptops like this again please why would they not
Framework is probably the closest substitute
@@Sithhy too expensive
@@shreyarora9738 The entry cost may be expensive but years down the line you just upgrade what you need, not having to buy an entire new laptop again
@@Sithhy remains to be seen, honestly, i would rather wait and see a couple years if the company delivers on their promises. seems good for now though
Everything nowadays is not built to last anymore. Companies are counting on planned obsolescence to maximize their profits. Hopefully global right to repair laws can stop this trend, but the companies really want people to upgrade sooner rather than later. Yes naturally the devices are getting slimmer, which makes them more difficult to work on but it doesn’t need to be that way.
Look at the Windows 11 requirements for example… So many laptops will be considered “no good” in 2025 when W10 end of life comes around, because they don’t officially support W11’s requirements, but anyone can easily clean install W11 using Rufus or Ventoy to bypass the requirements and it runs perfectly. Or better yet, have a dual boot of your favorite Linux Distro and Windows LTSC IoT. The everyday casual user may never even think about doing this so it ends up in the trash, etc. It’s sad.
Have you, or can you, make a
Video on how to clean Laptops? Or tech in general?
I love your Videos!
Yes, soon☺️
On my T470 I've so far had to... upgrade the ram to 16gig, clean out the fan and re-paste the CPU, and replace the hard drive... now my keyboard stopped working I'll have to clean or replace that soon. Sometimes taking care of what we love takes some effort. I'm probably going to use this device as a backup now and pick up a E14 gen 5, they look pretty decent.
hopefully cleaning the keybboard should help. i am yet to come accross an outright defective thinkpad keyboard. E14 is also cool. 😉
@@Hardwaremoney Oh, no I literally spilled something on it hahahaha
@@Sma5hy i see..
An excellent machine! I got my T480 about two years ago. It is the I7-8650 with the MX150 Nvidia discrete graphics (hybrid with Intel integrated graphics) with the 1080p non-touch screen. Mine came in good shape. I have had a few minor problems with dead pixels or backlight bleed, but mostly really solid. It runs Linux Mint Debian Edition 6 solidly while "docked" to a 21:9 monitor with minimal lag. It is faster on LMDE than the Windows 10 it came with originally. It is not as fast or solid as I expected, but still quality build. It is a big step up in processing power from my previous Thinkpad (T420 with the I5 2520M and integrated graphics) but does not feel as solidly built. Mine did not come with an internal battery (not that I mind), but still gets maybe 3 to 4 hours of battery life. Overall, a really good machine that is worth keeping if you have one or getting if you can find one at a reasonable price.
@@joeyscars4947 thanks for your input, hopefully will help someone make a buying decision 😉
@@Hardwaremoney Thanks!
I just got an T480 and I absolutely love it
i can imagine 😉
It's a great laptop! Mine came with a five year warranty that came in handy earlier this year. If something else were to happen it better be before March 1st. I was waiting till a moth before my warranty was up in March 2025 to try and put a claim on my batteries but when I logged into vantage last month I got a notification that my battery warranty period is up. I wish they would have made that clear that the battery warranty does not last as long as the overall warranty cause I would have at leat tried to take advantage of that before it was up. Its all good I have a spare internal and external from my othet one I use for parts💪
I got its smaller sibling, X280. Installing 2nd SSD on WWAN slot, and it's been rocksteady for my usage. It has i5-8530U but maxed-out add-on like yours.
@@lasbrujazz so good😉 main thing it’s sold for all you need to do.
Hooked mine up with the dual heatpipe fan, touchscreen, upgraded wlan (wifi6e bt 5.3) I tb sb hynix nvme, glass touchpad (the difference is very noticeable compared to the mylar touchpad). 32 gigs of ram which is fine for me but I'll maybe max it out when I feel like it. My doner t480 had the fingerprint reader and I'll switch it out when I have the chance. If I find a cheap magnesium one with a qhd screen on ebay for parts maybe ill grab it and hook mine up even more 💪
amazing 🤩
@@Hardwaremoney Forgot to add i also got a liteon keyboard (backlit). Cost me $80 diect from lenovo but I really wanted the liteon and they are harder to find even from lenovo.Forget about ali express or ebay for the liteon, most times they'll send you the crappy Darfon thinking it doesn't make a difference. If anything I would gave settled on Chicony which are great too Anything but Darfon. As for OS I dual boot Windows 10 ltsc enterprise with support till 2032. and Debian 12 Bookworm. I'm not a gamer or content creator who is editing video so the T450 works fine for my needs for now🙏💪
I got a ThinkPad T480, bought it as a secondary laptop. My main laptop is a ThinkPad E580
cool 😉
I just ordered one for 232 bucks off eBay, I hope it’s a great purchase
Great! Hope you get receive one in the best condition 😉
Literally tore apart my T480 after another failed attempt for it to boot or show any image on screen. Gutted the salvageable parts and threw the rest away.
oh 😳 but why? there are thousands of troubleshoot videos here on YT, should have been easy to sort out
Is it good at playing games if it has 64 gb ram? And if so what is the usual amount of fps to expect?
For some lower end games, yeah you can play them without any stutters (indie games will rock on one of these)
but for graphical demanding multiplayer games it wont be a good experience imo
Extra ram won't increase playability significantly, the games will be limited due to graphics. Some older games might be alright playing on it.
cpu matters more tbh
I feel like only an eGPU is required for gaming in this and after that, this laptop would be a decent gaming laptop
great video! as always
tnx 😉
I just bought a P53 for 350, I’m planning on putting the 128gb of ram just for fun and the flex 😂 also 2 ssd’s, one for windows one for linux and im thinking of putting another 2.5’’ ssd for storage of documents and pictures ect… It also came with 32gb already installed, 4gb Nvidoa T2000 gpu, nfc, fingerprint scanner, sim card slot and smart cart reader. Any suggestions for upgrades/improvements ?
🔥😳
I recently just got mine as well, its the i7-8650u with the nvidia mx150. At first I was worried about the thunderbolt and heating issue but after downloading lenovo vantage to make sure everything is up to date and trying out some light games to monitor cpu&gpu temps which sits at 70°. I've also opened (and yes I've broken a single clip) it and checked the condition of the internals, seem clean enough.
Seems like everything checks out. I think its alright, right? Am I missing something?
everything in point Bro😉
can you please tell me where i can buy it from? i am only seeing refurbished options on amazon
I bought mine locally, 2nd hand from FB Market Place. We really don't have a lot of options to buy these things
how to get the firmware update for the thunderbolt problem? do i have to use windowa for that? what if i use linux can i still have the firmware update?
check the lenovo website for all updates for your model, download and install 😉
@@Hardwaremoney oh, so i can still get the fix if i want to use linux right?
I bought one in amazing condition for 160$ off eBay like a year ago
Great
@@Hardwaremoney
I spent another $50 ok 32gb of ram
The cpu is the i7-8650u
Honestly, I'm looking to do a motherboard swap rn
A motherboard with the Nvidia mx150 gpu can be bought for ~200 rn
Just debating if the GPU is worth $200
@@Zeroneii3 I would not recommend updating laptop with GPU as gpus have more failure rate (y)
I ended up making a "new" t480 all from parts bought from AliExpress. It probably cost more than one I could have bought second hand, I just wanted to make a "new" one.
Really? so you found a new way out 😅
@@Hardwaremoney yes, and I'm certain it's 100% non genuine, but it works perfectly
@@dopplerdog6817 amazing
I sold my T480s and got T470p.because it's rocking HQ procesor it's more powerfully then U series.and have nvidea gpu
@@tatehustling695 i can imagine 🔥
What about T490? Whats the big difference?
Upgradeability of RAM. T480 has 2 upgradable RAM slots while T490 has 8GB soldered onboard + 1 extra RAM slot.
Personally, I would pick T480 so I can upgrade the RAM to 32GB
how long does the battery last for opening multiple chrome tabs?
@@khonsadventure pretty long, will need to do this test though 😉
Is the CPU fast enough to handle 6+ chrome tabs and visual studio?
6+tabs, YES! visual studio, would need to chech the system requirements myself 😉
i got it for like 265 dolar last year upgrade the ram to 16gb and got new ssd to512 and new battery 72 WaH that can stay almost 5 hours ... i bought 2 of it if im working outside .. now this my daily driver working spreadsheets and word abit dusty when i got it but still realible
great 😉
how long does the battery last for opening multiple chrome tabs?
@@khonsadventure depends on your battery capacity for me almost like 4 hours cause my 72wah batt have 68% capacity
But if u bought new battery 72wah u can get almost 6 hours with battery combine
Please reply, from where i get the old laptop plus new battery 72 whr? How much will be the battery backup?
all depends in where you live Bro, have got some few links in the description
Hey, where to get the new/decent 72 whr battery? I am from INDIA(SOUTH EAST ASIA)@@Hardwaremoney
@@shubhammohnani8137nehru place lol
No upgradable cpu tho
8 Gen Core i5 is already good enough😉
@@Hardwaremoney but with the same amount of money you can get n100 similar performance but more power efficient, tho these cheap laptop mostly have bad build quality
Got this T480 and installed linux on it...awesome
😉
Can T480 run cad programs smoothly? (like solidwork,autocad,fusion360 etc.)
haven’t tried it myself 😉
My t480 i5 8gen can run autocad and adobe illustrator
@@elmertalara7915 i think of getting one for my mechatronics engineering bachelor, do u think its underpowerd?
where did you get your battery from?
@@AdewaleLuqmaanMudasiru it came with the laptop 😉
Dells are great too, and there are more options.
I have half a dozen think-pad, I don't think T480 is GOT. perhaps X280 is. besides all 8th Gen laptops are perhaps has the best stable drivers compared to 9th and 10th Gen.
x280.. i still have to first check it out 😉
Hello, everyone
What is screen replace for touchscreen FHD 14" i5-8350? Did someone do something?
have not done that yet 😉
I have touch screen too. I love it.
@@techthamudu1489 really? its great 😉
Don’t be sarcastic, I saved my 10 year old t420. It is a tank and I call it a data Center because it has 4tb space.
He can handle valorant game?
I just got my hand in one seems like it bitcoin of laptop
the GPU is the only thing that lets it down
well.. depends on what you are using it for 😉
@@Hardwaremoney It would be just fine for daily task or programming, but gaming anything more intense than minecraft will run really bad. The T480s has a dual heatsink by default, so it should be slightly better.
@@jackrenders8937 true, would definitely not recommend for heavy gaming + heavy video editing 😉
I went for a T495 exactly for that reason - you lose the external battery but you still get a free RAM slot, and the IGPU in the Ryzen 5 Pro (or R7 if you get that one) absolutely smokes the one in the i5/i7. In fact you’d need an 11th gen Intel CPU to match that IGPU performance
Best part is that you can find it for much cheaper than the price of a T480 despite it being newer
@@anti-macro well, that newer t495 is still cheaper than an older t480 already says a lot, that the market saying we believe in the t480 😉
compare it to the t480s
ok will sort that out 😉
If it's the same as other T series ThinkPads, the T480s will have the same motherboard as the T480.
T480 )))
Had one a time ago. Not the greatest thinkpad to talk about. CPU throttling is heavy, even under 60c, and m.2/TB3 ports are capped at 2 pci-e lanes.
Hi will you send me one external battery for this laptop to India, Please
