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

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

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.

The Myth o

If you just want a lightweight good battery laptop, the ThinkPad has never been the solution. Batteries have never been a ThinkPad strong point. Until around the T460 era, displays were a MARKED bad point - and even now, if you're looking for an outdoor usable display, ThinkPad panels are traditiona

The idea that the t480 is the "last great ThinkPad" is bonkers The t490 was just as well built but thinner, the downside was only 1 sodimm slot and only the (much bigger) internal battery.

Looks great! I've been thinking a lot about this kind of thig as I've been answering questions people ask about which thinkpad to buy and what the differences are between them and I think you touch on a really important misunderstanding. ThinkPads (and the other ExcelBox desktop and laptop models fr

Get a recent one. X1 Carbon Gen 13has fabulous speakers. In comparison older ones (2018 Carbon Gen 6) are way worse to even crappy (X200 from like 2008). The X13 Gen 2 (2021???) has okay-ish (compared to 2015 13.3 MBP and 2015 12 MB). Edit: well, since you have a Mac and you're thinking about a new
