LENOVO THINKPAD T480 INTEL CORE I5-8350U NVME 256GB INTEL CORPORATION UHD GRAPHICS 620 16 GB 13.9 TOUCH NO BLACK WINDOWS 10 PROFESSIONAL 64-BIT

I've owned this refub T480 for 2 years now, and used it in less than ideal conditions (many months on a sailboat and touring on a motorcycle). Like all the Lenovos I've owned, it has stood up to the abuse, which is why I go back to Lenovos when I need a new laptop. My configuration was Intel Core i5-8350U, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD and it was priced at two Benjamins. It's been a great computer. The processor was much faster than anything else in its class, and still stands up to most offerings today. I've notice in recent reviews of laptops in this price range the i5-1xxgx class of processors is running up to ~50% faster than the 8350u, but at the cost of twice the power usage and corresponding lower useful battery life. It's not worth it to me, as I am usually running on battery. I recently replaced the secondary (larger) batter for $27, and battery life is back up to 8+ hours of normal use. I also had a problem with the keyboard after about 18 months, and replaced it with a new backlit keyboard for about $35. The keypad is wearing, but still functions fine. But other than those normal wear and tear items (especially as I use it) the laptop is great. Fast boot up if its not uploading Windows updates. Wonderful keyboard. Screen is great. Plenty of memory to run a score of windows open at the same time and then some. I added a 256gig chip in the SSD chip socket to share the storage duties. I put my regular data backup on the on board SSD storage (as well as periodic back ups to an off board SSD drive). Wireless internet is fine. Runs all my older games without a problem, like any inexpensive laptop, you're probably going to run into problems if you try to run graphic intensive games on it. I don't use the touchscreen much but it's nice to have once in a while. Great battery life. A winner all around. If I had to replace it today, after reviewing the current (July 2025) competitive offerings, I would still buy another one of these laptops today.

I love this laptop. For 200 this is a steal, I really didn't even know it was touch screen until a month later and it made me love it even more. The touch screen only uses your actual fingers and not a digital pen, this is not a tablet. I use it as an additional laptop to my main one. Basically, I use this laptop for school going from class to class because A) its light, B) If it gets stolen it was only 200 c) The specs are good for its price. I am a junior physics major who uses it for coding, school work, and circuitry. The only downside is that you would need to change the battery(Dont have to change it at first, still works with what was given but you would get more life if changed). But really compared to the other options this I found was the best after weeks of research for a cheap laptop. The battery can last up to around 2 hrs 20 min Id say if put on lowest performance. It works fine if you have it connected to its charger(Usb C), which most classes have. Good space if you only use it for school work, Have not tried gaming on it other than chess.com mainly because I have a better pc for that. Would highly recommend it if you are on a budget. Runs windows also.

Terrible quality assurance! Computers did not hold charge past 6 months and the replacement sent was unacceptable with unusable rack pads and USB ports Will not use this company again

Charger is a bit loose, but otherwise great computer and works great.

I purchased t480 renewed laptop from "Computer Deal USA" This laptop arrived fast. It included branded adapter and external second battery. To my pleasant surprise, the laptop I received is a touch screen one. The laptop looked very clean and with very little usage as it appeared to be. Very well cleaned before sending it to me. The windows 10 pro setup was very clean and laptop is very fast and touch screen is perfect and very responsive. This laptop had dual battery and one battery was showing 93% health and one showed only 45% health. I contacted the customer service about this. Adam in their technology department responded swiftly and sent me a brand new third party made external battery. Everything is perfect. I am very happy with the purchase I made, I recommend this seller highly. They are very professional and they acted fast. Be sure to install lenovo vantage and update all drivers and bios for smooth usage. Also don't forget to update windows 10 after you connect to internet.

Shipping was prompt and the description of the quality was spot on. Great value for the money if you just need a second screen for reading/watching videos and so on. Can even handle a very very light gaming load. Seller was top notch as well, I ended up getting the touch screen version of the screen without knowing or paying extra for it. Would buy again, and would buy through this seller again.

Bought this in a pinch for a new job, arrived like a brand new unused laptop - aside from some skin oils on the surface, but it shows these smudges easier than anything. Setting up worked out terrific, required some extra help from someone a little more software familiarity than I have in order to ensure there were no traces (which I recommend for these rebuilds regardless), but overall once things were rolling and I was signed in, everything has flowed very smoothly. Stable, responsive, good computing power, good battery life. Other than the surfaces being so prone to collecting oils, my only other minor issues would be with the fact the screen likes to go out for a second or two maybe once or twice a day.

It arrived in good condition but came with a vinyl on the top cover that's really bad with fingerprints. Mine came configured with the 1366x768 screen & no backlit keyboard unfortunately. However the 16GB of ram is dual channel and it came with the NVME to SATA adapter and the drive is basically new. Temps seems to be fine but the external battery is at 18% health and it's the OEM one so it seems they never swapped it out. There is no internal battery either but mine came with the fingerprint sensor. Everything works, there's nothing that isn't functional.
