Power up without powering down

Each ThinkPad T580 comes with built-in Power Bridge technology. This innovation is the answer to 'low battery' warnings, especially if you are on the road or without a power outlet nearby. It allows you to swap out a battery and simply replace it with a fully charged one—without having to turn off your machine. So you can keep your ThinkPad T580 going for up to 13.8 hours* between charges.

*All battery life claims are approximate and based on results using both the MobileMark® 2014 battery-life benchmark tests. Actual battery life will vary and depends on many factors such as product configuration and usage, software use, wireless functionality, power management settings, and screen brightness. The maximum capacity of the battery will decrease with time and use.

Get closer to the action

By configuring your ThinkPad T580 with an optional touchscreen, you can interact more intuitively and easily with your work—and have more fun during your downtime.
