Are t480 really this good?
It was a insanely great machine when it first came out. It's still serviceable. But it is very old for 2026. The prices people sell them for online are competing with much newer ThinkPads that have better processors (the one part you can't swap on the T480. So unless you find one for around 100$, it

ThinkPad T470P Gone Wild
The T470P is the greatest of all time for me now, more than the X230, and even more than the T480, especially with this specific spec (i7-7820HQ, Nvidia 940MX, 2560x1440 panel). I've been wanting to build something like this for a long time. I've seen many people duct tape hard drives to their displ

I believe the Thinkpad T14 Gen 7 is a worthy successor to the T480.
It is, but it's also horrendously expensive. In EU stores Lenovo charges 360€ for upgrading the RAM from 16GB to 32GB. You can get a whole 32GB LPCAMM2 module for that price. My T480 is slowly dying and I really wanted to get the T14 Gen7, but I'm not paying 1500€ for a 16GB system with the most bas

The T480 was the best thing I've ever bought in my life. (no joke)
Is there a ThinkPad sub where T480 worship from brand new accounts is outright banned?

What else can be uninstalled from a new Thinkpad?
don't forget improved battery life. I convinced oomf to switch to Linux on his gaming laptop; his battery lasts 4x longer now. later, I sold him one of my ThinkPads (a t480 with 72wh external battery), he's liking it so far (and running Linux on it, of course.)

What sorcery is lenovo using to make the thinkpad this efficient?
If only they were always this competent. This must be a mistake on their part. I assume they fire their engineers if they accidentally make good products, which is how we no longer have the likes of the ThinkPad T480 or old Lenovo Legions that didn't randomly die.

Window 11 Pro performance issues with my T480. Time to switch to Linux.
If you really need Windows, I recommend Win10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021. Win11 LTSC 2024 also runs pretty well on my x270. But, Win10 LTSC runs great on all of my ThinkPads that range from a T420 to T480, s and non s. But, yeah, definitely install Linux as well.
