ThinkPad T480 for OS-free deployment
The Lenovo ThinkPad T480 is a 14.0-inch HD laptop built around an Intel Core i5-7200U dual-core processor running at 2.50 GHz with a 3.10 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 8GB of DDR4 memory across two slots and a new 240GB SATA SSD. No operating system is installed, so the buyer supplies their own Windows or Linux image.
Upgrading from slower storage or less memory
Replacing a mechanical hard drive with the included 240GB SSD removes the main latency bottleneck in older office laptops. The two memory slots support up to 32 GB total, so adding a second DDR4 module is the logical next step when multitasking feels constrained. The jump is worth it when boot times, application launches or simultaneous browser tabs are the daily friction points.
Limits of the HD panel and integrated graphics
The 1366 x 768 display caps usable workspace at a low pixel density, making side-by-side windows cramped and text less sharp than on Full HD panels. Intel HD Graphics 620 handles desktop composition and video playback but cannot drive modern 3D workloads or external high-resolution monitors at comfortable refresh rates. Buyers who need more screen real estate or GPU compute should look elsewhere.
