Is this ThinkPad the BEST cheap laptop? (T480S)

[@bonzaibush4391]

I couldn't decide so I bought both version, the classic T480 and the T480s... I upgraded the T480 with 2x16Gb and a 2Tb nvme SSD, and the T480s with a 16Gb on the single ram slot to have 8+16Gb, and a 1 Tb nvme SSD. They are the best laptops I ever had

So the T480s is best than T480 ?

[@bonzaibush4391]

@@salimsoltan2465 I still can't decide which is best, T480 is full dual chanel on the totality of the memory and has 2 batteries but the SSD will only goes upto 1700Mbps whereas the T480s SSD will be twice as fast and the cover is more premium (metal, when the T480 is plastic)

[@richardsontm]

In your video you said you can add up to an additional 16Gb module - officially, yes that's correct. But the T480s unofficially supports 32Gb modules - so you can actually go to 8Gb soldered + 32Gb for a total of 40Gb. I used Kingston FuryX modules to do this personally with the T480s and X270 FYI.

[@theryanthomas]

Good to know. Thank you for the info!

[@nathmorris1]

Is this better or worse than dual channel 8?

[@carldrogo9492]

Unofficially?

[@richardsontm]

A symmetrical dual channel configuration (8 soldered+8 on a module) is technically faster than an asymmetric configuration. Unofficial means that Lenovo don't support 32gb DIMMs, but they do work nonetheless for 40gb maximum.

i got this laptop for my dad actually! specifically the model with a i5 vpro cpu and 16 gigs ram. it cost me $230 without storage from ebay and i had to add a 512 gig nvme drive for $40, bringing totals up to $270. from my experience the non-s model (t480) tends to have better specs for cheaper (the one i use for linux came with QHD, i7 vpro, 16/256 gigs included and an mx150 for just $215), but a non-enthusiast will probably take the thin-and-light factor any day over this negligible spec bump. the half-soldered ram is a little worrisome for me (still mad about letting myself get a laptop with 8 gigs soldered ram a few years back), but at least it's still somewhat upgradable and it's hard to argue with the price.

[@TheCodeTinkerer]

The *70 generation is the last "old Thinkpad" format, because they still had the batterybridge with dual battery systems. Why they do not re-introduce this again baffles me. The level of battery capacity and usage they can cram into the devices today would be crazy, even though running a x86 architecture. I am convinced, that Framework is the future market segment, that the Thinkpad used to represent. Just wait until the second hand market will be flooded in a couple of years with Framework devices for low price.

So I'm very proud of myself for finally getting a thinkpad and paying for it on my own. 1080p Ips screen would have been nice or even 1600 x 900 (if it was available). But my previous laptop also had 1366 x 768 screen and I was satisfied by it. So with a 14" screen compared to 15.6" it looks better.

The T480 honestly I think is the better of the 2 if you want to get best bang for your buck by buying a cheap used one and add 64GB of ram and you have two SSD slots to fill up. The screen can be upgraded to 4k as well, wifi can be upgraded to wifi6E. The T480s is sexier because it's thinner but that's about it. I think you can upgrade the wifi card and add more storage but the one thing that impacts performance the most, you cant upgrade which is the ram. You really cant take a t480s far from its original performance. In either case I'm sure the t480s is still nice but the T480 is the one you want if you like to tinker.

There is no difference with your 64gb in T480 vs 40gb in T480s. Are you using all of them? If yes, you should rather buy some workstation. These are laptops for work and such ram is enough for 99,9% cases. T480s have PCIE 4, T480 have PCIE2 so this have much bigger impact than RAM

That L series are just a step lower than T series. They are maybe less premium in terms of finish, weight and so on but are priced lower and many times packs better value for the money. Sometimes even you can upgrade one further than T series (which tends to be lighter so less ports and space inside), the L and probably E series can accommodate i.e. 2nd internal drive using SATA. Of course it depends on the generation, 480 was the last great Thinkpads. Although T14 is not bad either, soldered ram is a bit pita but I put 32GB into mine and it's 48GB RAM now. And there are days where I see 80-90% of memory used! :) Photo/video editing soft, many tabs in browser, virtualisation, even file explorer eats a lot of ram during opening a folders with photos on my mobile and on SSD and sorting that, please mind we are talking ~15000 files :)

Question, would this be good for music programs like cakewalk or audacity and video editing programs like videopad

[@silentwalker-ns9cy]

for 1080p editing, it would be okay

I love my T480, my only gripe is with the trackpad. It feels too rough and I find myself right clicking a lot, like the edge for the right and left click are too close together

[@afrovybz321]

Where do i get the wallpaper ?

[@akin242002]

I would just get the latest Thinkpad T14 G3 with 32GB of RAM. You get the latest CPU and future proof the RAM at 32GB. You can also adjust/replace the SSD.

[@zoomermcboomer4771]

It's for the price range otherwise just get the latest thing.

[@staog]

If you're willing to spend around $2,396, yeah.

[@ekeretteekpo3004]

If we all had sufficient money to spare at any point in time, we would be going for the latest and newest of anything. 🤷‍♂️

since you asked your shirt is not cool at all......now if it was a hockey jersey then it would be cool.....but its only soccer. Even rugby is cooler then soccer

[@1a1o]

bought one for 100 bucks on ebay

[@ramadwipangestu4618]

I think I wanna buy this soon

[@gelomorn]

Can you share your wallpaper?

[@mcscotty325]

I think the E14 Ryzen is the way to go now.

[@ekeretteekpo3004]

Price difference, I guess.

[@mcscotty325]

@@ekeretteekpo3004 Prices are fairly close on the used market. The E14 is faster, newer, and comparably upgradeable.

[@arbitrarygrill6886]

E-series have terrible hinges and more fragile usb C ports that often fail

Lol on the webcam, you are spoiled with your MacBook webcam. My 14" MacBook pro webcam is better than my standalone lenovo webcam.

My lenovo ideapad flex 5 motherboard crashed after 15 months. Warranty expired after 12 months. I will never ever buy a lenovo laptop or any device ever again. Pure rubbish. Shit.

[@Dubst3pT3ch]

That's an ideapad not a thinkpad. Thinkpad models are far superior.

[@NormanF62]

I would stick to Lenovo Thinkpads, HP Zbooks or Dell Precision. You want a rugged laptop and these can be had for a reasonable cost.

[@chipka9]

The problem with used T480s is the Usb-c charging port. It doesn't last and once it wears out it puts power through a data pin and fries the motherboard.

[@antqbtdgtl]

this wallpaper is awesome can you share me
