Product ReviewsLenovo ThinkPad T480 14" (512GB SSD, Intel Core i5 8350U, 1.70 GHz, 16GB) Laptop - Black

Best deal around on a very capable notebook.

This is one of the last really upgrade-able Thinkpads. Capable of mounting a 2.5" spinning disk, or an nVME SSD in that spot with the proper fittings, and a second nVME SSD in the WWAN slot (be careful, it requires a B+M Key 2242 drive). I is capable of mounting an internal battery, and a hot-swappable external one for extended battery life. Ram capacity as stated by Lenovo is 32GB, but is really 64GB with newer DDR4 SODIMMs.

Finally, if you supply the serial number, Lenovo will allow you to download and build a recovery USB drive which will restore the OS and all software the laptop shipped with when purchased, OS license is typically stored in the laptop hardware.

Hardware supports W11, so an upgrade will be available if loaded with Win10. It takes a little effort, but everything works, including the fingerprint reader, under Linux.

If you can, check the serial number with Lenovo before purchasing to determine original configuration, and warranty status. It -may- still be under warranty, and Lenovo warranties are typically extendable for reasonable prices.Read full review...
