Currently, Lenovo offers very affordable office notebooks with their E-Series of ThinkPads, as well as more premium devices with their T-Series. The Lenovo ThinkPad L480 is supposed to slot right in between these two, focusing on both educational facilities and public administration, two areas were good pricing is key. With a base price of 559 Euros (~$685) in its base configuration, the ThinkPad L480 is well priced for the fields it is aimed at. It should be noted that said configuration only offers an Intel Celeron 3965U with 4 GB of memory and a 500 GB HDD. Equally, you will have to settle for a TN-Panel at that price point. More reasonable in our opinion is our test device configuration offering an Intel Core i5-8250U, 8 GB of DDR4 memory and a 256 GB SSD. At this configuration, the price increases to 959 Euros (~$1180). The top of the line configuration contains the Intel Core i7-8550U, a CPU that on paper should be slightly faster than the one found in our configuration. It should be noted though that, under certain conditions, an Intel Core i5-8250U can actually beat an Intel Core i7-8550U, so careful comparison of test results is a must.
