Our take on the Lenovo ThinkPad E480

The ThinkPad E480 is Lenovo's entry-level business laptop from the E-series, sold in a range of Intel 8th-gen Core configurations with 14-inch screens. It carries the ThinkPad hallmarks that matter to offices: a spill-resistant keyboard, TrackPoint, a durable chassis and easy access for upgrades. It is heavier and thicker than premium ThinkPads and its display options are modest, but it undercuts the T-series on price while keeping the business basics. It suits budget-conscious professionals, students and IT buyers who want a repairable workhorse rather than a thin-and-light.

Questions and answers

Is the ThinkPad E480 still worth buying?
For basic office work, study and light multitasking it remains capable, especially with an 8th-gen Core i5 and an SSD. It makes less sense if you need long battery life or a bright screen.
Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?
Yes. The E480 has accessible memory slots and a serviceable drive bay, so RAM and SSD upgrades are straightforward for a home or IT user.
How does it compare with the ThinkPad T480?
The T-series is lighter, has better display options and longer battery life, with dual-battery designs on some models. The E480 is the cheaper, heavier option that keeps the keyboard and durability.
Does it have USB-C and Ethernet?
Yes. It includes USB-C, full-size USB ports, HDMI and a wired Ethernet port, which many thin laptops have dropped.
Is the keyboard backlit?
Backlighting depends on the configuration; some units have it and some do not, so check the specific model before buying.
What is in the box?
The laptop and its power adapter. Accessories and docking stations are sold separately.
Where is the Lenovo ThinkPad E480 cheapest?
