Lenovo’s ThinkPad line has been widely regarded as the company’s flagship business-class laptop over the past few years. Each year has always come with an upgrade. 2018, Lenovo Thinkpad L480 comes featuring the performance, security, and portability users need. The Lenovo ThinkPad runs on Windows 10 Home Edition.

The framework of the Lenovo ThinkPad L480 has undergone significant changes compared to its predecessor. The now non-removable battery leads to an overall thinner bodywork compared to the ThinkPad L470. However, even with the upgrade Lenovo ThinkPad L480 is very basic, staying true to its ThinkPad lineage.

Design

Keyboard

The L480 comes with a fantastic typing experience. It has a solid keyboard; the keys offer 1.5 millimeters of travel, full-sized standard layout and require 70 grams of force to actuate, meaning key presses feel satisfying and responsive. The red TrackPoint ball sits at the meeting point among the G, H, and B keys. The keys are quiet, as well, though some might find them to be on the mushy side. The slight change on the keyboard’s layout which could raise eyeball is the swapped location of the Ctrl and Fn keys on the left side. On the right side, there’s a Print Screen button jammed between the Alt and Ctrl key, which is less of a problem and just an odd place to put a Print Screen button. The 3.9 x 2.7-inch touchpad is fine for the most part, but it does not respond well to two-finger commands. `
