ThinkPad T480

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. They kept using pretty much the same parts between the t490, t14, and t14 Gen 2. If you really want both sodimm

T14 is newer and I'd go that direction if you can afford it. The T480 is on the inner edge of 9 years old and T490 is barely any better at the inner edge of 8 years old. (Although as mentioned they're arguably probably fine for office usage and light video work. my primary personal computer is a Lat

But youtuber says T480 is the best ThinkPad ever so I am happy to pay €390 for it /s

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 makes the t480 the last good thinkpad People on the internet who lie to themselves, and the YouTube creators who monetize them. The T480 is the best choice for someone with a very limited budget, or someone who wants to try Linux without investing much into it. The cheapest modern ThinkPad is b

Don’t feel bad, that’s reality. I was looking for one with an i7, but prices didn’t make sense, almost $300. The T480 is overrated, you can get more powerful ThinkPads using Ryzen CPUs for less.

Hi this is my two cents no one asked for. If you end up going for a ThinkPad and you can spend up to $800 DON'T get a t480, the point of a t480 is that it's cheap and repairable so you can get it for even cheaper with some things missing/broken and fix it for pennies, if you have the money and want

The T480 can handle most of the tasks you have mentioned although I highly doubt League of Legends could run well on hardware this old. Hell, I once used a ThinkPad T420 to play Roblox without issues on the other hand although that was 7 - 8 years ago now, when the T480 was new therefore the game li

What sucks about the X series is no upgradability. And if there is these 12.5 inch ones, arent even available in my country (and ThinkPads are stupidly priced here, glad i got my T480 at a cheap value)

The type of drivel one expects from this sub Pay $500 for a T480, because GrEAtEST LAsT THinkPAd, then install linux for no goddamned reason even when nobody asked for it
