ThinkPad T480

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

Depends on your needs. I'd go for the one with the bigger battery and upgrade the SSD by myself. If you want to do AI stuff on the ThinkPad itself: don't. Just offload that to your desktop. Just SSH into it. For frontend development you don't need much. You need VScode, a browser and some CLI tools

There was a really good post about this a couple weeks ago, that I fully recommend, I agree with every single word of it and my only single criticism is that the author didn't take a chance to add that what is true of ThinkPads is also true of every other corporate-aimed type of ocmputer.

What you do gain is a massive generational leap in performance over any 8-10th gen Intel chip and you’ll feel it in every single task. Just open so

lenovo?, sangat disarankan untuk liat manual officialnya langsung, jangan ikutin blindly tanpa liat manual, ataupun modal lewat youtube.. gimana caranya? ke product support, cari manual namanya "hardware maintenance manual", atau gampangnya (semisal thinkpad), tinggal googling "T480 hardware mainten

Ask someone from abroad for a used ThinkPad T480. Used ones are very affordable, typically around £160 in the UK. Upgradeable SSD and Ram.

I think it's down to influencer video content. There's loads of people out there claiming the T480 is legendarily good and even explicitly that it's outright better than successors. Almost all of the T480's actual benefits as a computer exist solely in 2017 and in people's memories. The batteries wi

what is the reason this machine can't ? Also dont forget the t480 has to include 2 ram slots on its motherboard.
