Why Everyone is keeping a Lenovo ThinkPad T480

It’s an incredible laptop! I own one for cybersecurity and it’s perfect for my use case. The upgradability is insane!

I have mine maxed out with 64GB of RAM. It's a solid machine!!!

One chip on mine decided to become a toasty chip burning the pcb and some traces 😢, but i think i will make a frankenlaptop in the future buying every extra part mine didn't came with ❤, it last me like 5 years, it was a good soldier

I write at the moment from my Thinkpad T480 with Windows 11 Pro. Still an amazing laptop. Use it on daily basis for work and private.

got my t480 with the i5 and upgraded the ssd to 2tb m.2 and the ram to 64gb and install the bigger fan upgrade then goes on the i7 with the gpu and repasted the cpu and gpu with thermal paste and my temps dropped from 76c down to 49c , then installed ubuntu and update the firmware with terminal using a command line to 23.0 then uninstalled since I dont need ubuntu. but i love the keyboard compared to my old m1 macbook air never going back to mac. If this laptop stops working im gonna get a amd thinkpad cause the temps on intel chips are Hott!!.

Have you, or can you, make a Video on how to clean Laptops? Or tech in general? I love your Videos! <3

On my T470 I've so far had to... upgrade the ram to 16gig, clean out the fan and re-paste the CPU, and replace the hard drive... now my keyboard stopped working I'll have to clean or replace that soon. Sometimes taking care of what we love takes some effort. I'm probably going to use this device as a backup now and pick up a E14 gen 5, they look pretty decent.

I just got an T480 and I absolutely love it

great video! as always

I recently just got mine as well, its the i7-8650u with the nvidia mx150. At first I was worried about the thunderbolt and heating issue but after downloading lenovo vantage to make sure everything is up to date and trying out some light games to monitor cpu&gpu temps which sits at 70°. I've also opened (and yes I've broken a single clip) it and checked the condition of the internals, seem clean enough. Seems like everything checks out. I think its alright, right? Am I missing something?

how to get the firmware update for the thunderbolt problem? do i have to use windowa for that? what if i use linux can i still have the firmware update?

I just ordered one for 232 bucks off eBay, I hope it’s a great purchase

Is it good at playing games if it has 64 gb ram? And if so what is the usual amount of fps to expect?

I got a ThinkPad T480, bought it as a secondary laptop. My main laptop is a ThinkPad E580

Please reply, from where i get the old laptop plus new battery 72 whr? How much will be the battery backup?

how long does the battery last for opening multiple chrome tabs?

Is the CPU fast enough to handle 6+ chrome tabs and visual studio?

where did you get your battery from?

Can T480 run cad programs smoothly? (like solidwork,autocad,fusion360 etc.)

Got this T480 and installed linux on it...awesome
