Lenovo ThinkPad T480s – Intel Core i7-8550U, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Non-Touch (Refurbished)

For buyers who need more processing headroom than an i5 ThinkPad offers without paying new-laptop prices, this refurbished T480s configuration steps up to an Intel Core i7-8550U processor (8th Generation, 4 cores / 8 threads, 1.8GHz base, up to 4.0GHz turbo, 8MB cache) paired with integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620. It carries the same 8GB DDR4 RAM and 256GB SSD as the i5 variant, so the practical difference lies in the CPU’s higher clock speeds and hyper-threaded core count, which noticeably helps with heavier multitasking, virtual machines, and demanding business software. The 14-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS, anti-glare, non-touch display delivers sharper detail than the base HD panel found on lower-spec T480 models. At 1.32kg, the black magnesium-alloy chassis retains ThinkPad’s signature durability, and the 57Wh battery keeps pace with a full workday. As a refurbished unit, this configuration suits organizations that want stronger CPU performance for the same footprint and connectivity as the standard T480s, at a meaningfully lower cost than buying new.
