1 Cool Thing: Lenovo ThinkPad T480

- Lenovo's ThinkPad T480 is the very definition of a workhorse business laptop, with a killer keyboard and a nifty hot-swappable battery. (Just spend the extra bucks for the bigger power pack.)

The touch screen in the video is not glossy. I confirmed with Lenovo that their touch screen is matte finish. Important to note that the T480 has the two battery bridge system so you can easily swap in a spare battery. Lenovo confirms that on carbon X1 if you try to replace the internal battery yourself you violate warranty.
This review has many inaccuracies. Go watch another review.
You guys missed some slots, a SIM card slot under the battery and a smart card reader on the left side of the laptop.
As a current T480 owner, I would like to add some things that are not mentioned in the video.
1. T480 comes with single heat pipe for CPU unless a dedicated GPU is ordered. With a dedicated GPU, you can get dual heat pipe for the CPU which will drastically help with the cooling.
2. Between X1 Carbon and T480, T480 will do better in cooling when it comes to prolonged CPU intensive tasks, since there is more room inside the T480 to help with the cooling.
3. For the T480, there are two batteries (one external and one internal), so you can remove the external battery without turning the computer off and put a new one in. The computer will be fine.
Sam Song is it any good? Like reliable and how is the heat with the GPU while doing GPU intensive task
Are you a Linux user by any chance? Have you tried installing/using Linux on the T480?
i have installed linux, just disable secure boot
T480 will still be running in 10 years. X1 is a Consumer model, a good laptop, but not likely to still be punching 5 years from now.
The real review is in the comments.
After 5 years of using it I'm still using now. Sometimes never shutdown for few weeks
Any comments on, There is a sim slot below battery ! How should i be able to use it?
I need a laptop for music production that are built to last what should i get?
The only thing I got from this review is that these guys like the keyboard better than any other keyboard on a laptop.
backlit keyboard ought to be standard on all thinkpads!
Running the p52s, a bit undervolted on the CPU/+ Intel GPU - getting much more outa it now.
@PCMag,
please review Thinkpad A485; (sibling laptop to T480).
Stopped watching after couple min, this could be 6 min video not 16
PCMag really set the bar low this time; this review is full of inaccuracies and omissions. I recommend watching another review.
I read that nasa uses ThinkPad on iss and I think that's great and not apple imacs. And I've seen scully type on one in early xfiles seasons and Jodie foster using one in movie contact. I like Jodies nylon laptop case and wondered how she kept it cool.
For "cracking" the human genome (and it is not fully sequenced) you would need much more than a fancy laptop, believe in me
So many errors...
X1C6 get whooped by T480 in battery life as well as performance. You gloss over the fact that its hot swappable but actually state the opposite. Also no mention of the dedicated GPU T480 has. The statement that the Kaby Lake R cpus give no benefit over gen7 is also false. Theyre quad cores. And yes it does have a smartcard reader.
Please do a "1 Cool Thing" episode of the T480 running Kubuntu 18.04.
Another T480 review that does not quite tell the full story.
The T480 can be upgraded to 32GB RAM (not soldered), has 2 SSD slots and 2 batteries, one of which can be hot swapped. The X1 does not offer either.
It's also available with a discrete Nvidia GPU and a WQHD screen.
The T480 doesn't have 2 full-sized SSD Slots. It has 1 SSD Slot and one m.2 Slot. So if you plan to put in another SSD you are better off buying the cheapest storage option and putting in a dedicated SSD. You can use the m.2 Slot for NVME PCIe SSDs though those are still ridiculously priced.
Scitch87 Yes, unlike the X1 Carbon which doesn't offer this flexibility.
both slot support NVME, one is for storage only while the other can be either storage or WWAN
@Scitch87
Actually no. It has 2 SSD slots. I don't know what do you mean by full size slots. If you mean old 2.5 inch SATA SSD, that thing is obsolete and I wouldn't call it full size. Both of T480 slots are for PCIe NVME SSDs. One PCIe SSD is M.2 2280 and the other is M.2 2242. Carbon X1 has only one PCIe M.2 2280 SSD slot..
Having said that M.2 2280 disk comes with an adapter that can be removed and you can put there SATA SSD if you want, but why would you wanna do that when PCIe is 8x faster.
if you bought the laptop configured for LTE (what it did) the LTE card will be in the 2242 slot. that effectively gives you one SSD slot. Though I wish they would have the option of having a SATA slot along with the dedicated NVME slot so i could have the LTE , the SSD and i high capacity Sata HDD. Oh well you cant get everything
Still running mine (i7-8550U) with 32GB ram and a Sonnet breakout box with a 1070Ti. I want to test a better graphics card but it is neat being able to run alot of games with toned down settings on a buisness laptop
Still great in 2020!
hi, i am going on a documentary field work, so i will be primarily be writing and doing basic photo and video editing, and need a solid built laptop. I am considering the options of t480 with i7-8550U and t580 with Intel i5-8350U. Will there be substantial difference in performance between the two? is there significant difference in their battery life? and finally i am reading the t580 is made out of plastic, and the t480 is magnesium alloy, is that true? Any other comments you wold make considering my needs. Thank you for your help
did you get answers to these questions ?
@@aneeshprasobhan no
Kitne ka hai ...
Does the T480 have a dvd player and a stylus?
No
How did you know?!?! I'm legitimately laying here in bed, looking to replace my Dell Latitude E6500, and had the exact same question about how it compares to the X1 Carbon. 😂
Crippled thunderbolt with only 2 pci lanes, makes it impossible to run a dual 4K display.
Really wish these had a numberpad.
P series then
Nice review - but why that dreadful, disturbing music in the background? It's absolutely awful.
Hey Vsauce!!!
I've had performance problems on Ubuntu, nothing helped so far, not recommended
I'm still waiting for the one cool thing...
Great laptop. Thinkpad build quality. There's a reason they use them in space and in war :D
Reviewers were not prepared. Not cool.
IBM invented it but this is no way connected to IBM Engineers NOW and it is a Chinese company. That being said it is probably safe now but not to say that it was not safe earlier with the spyware they placed in it.
you are boring guys ! make it quick and clear ! 7 min max
Why do all your Thinkpads reviews give incorrect information and gloss over defining or stand out features?!
Build quality, expandibility, hot-swappable batteries, etc.
You'll find better reviews in the comments.
casual presentation expecting professionalism
T series 👍
Ram is increased
finger niple thing - eh? pls. gth.
Guys i want to buy thinkpad but this video was bad. Hope you will listen to users
"this laptop is best for business because is best bor business"... really ?
Spill water guys.
Anybody here tired of Intel vulnerabilities and waiting for the A480?
I thought the vulnerabilities were patched at the operating system level?
These reviewers are mac users... bullshitting their way through... coffee lake.... and they work for PC MAG?!
Amateur hour...
PLEASE GO STRAIGHT TO THE POINT! 16 MINUTES? REALLY?
T480 is slowing down nvme ssds to 2x pcie lanes. Garbage.
17 min blah blah
😂 اهلا يارفاق
انا هنا ابحث بشكل جدي عن جهاز اعتمادي وقطع غيار متوفرة ولايهمني كثيرا ان اتباهى بسرعة فوق ما يطلبه مني عملي
او اذا كانت شاشة لمس
فلتذهب الى الجحيم هذه التفاهات
لدي جهاز سامسونج لم اجد له قطع غيار حيث تعطلت المراوح والبطارية واصبح عبارة عن قطعة خردة تافهه
ولم اجد حتى جهاز مستعمل لكي استفيد منه ك قطع غيار
مهم جدا ان يكون اللاب توب متوفر وشائع
في حال تعطل تجد قطع بديل
Bla bla bla
This uh this uh uh uh review uh uh sucks uhhhhh
My company bought this laptop, it's the worst for an IT guy.....
Why
Don't get Lenovo Thinkpad's. The laptop is alright but the warranty is
useless. I've waited for over a month to get mine fixed. Tickets get
opened and closed without the problem being fixed. The engineer has come
out twice without the right parts. I call them up and they tell me
someone will arrive to fix it by a certain date. The date arrives and
nobody turns up. I had to waste a day to go to the head office to get
the spare laptop. If it weren't for this being a company laptop under
warranty, I could have taken it down to a dozen nearby computer repair
shops and got it fixed within several days.
Do not buy Lenovo , do not.
Very informative... any suggestion as to why? Or an alternative suggestion?
