Tank like reliability and build quality too, but then it's a ThinkPad!!
Top: if you don't like the fan coming on often, go into advanced power options and set max CPU setting to around 97% (anything under 100%). My fan rarely comes on now, with no noticeable difference in speed.. Can probably do with replacing the thermal paste given its just over 3 years old but this trick worked perfectly.
Heated. (edited)
I ended up getting a newer Lenovo model because of that.
*for me. YMMV!

Backlight keyboard and fingerprint sensor which I didn't expect, and condition is awesome. Just not sure about Windows 11... first time on it and no likey... guess I will have to at some point.
Now need to buy an internal battery/bigger external for travel, google showing so many options, wondering if anyone here can recommend a place they have used already.
Many thanks
if anyone looking for spare batteries.
The screen and bezel is covered all over in scratches and chips, it's as if someone was storing something between the screen and keyboard. The palm rest is all shiny and looks heavily used.
Also the battery is totally exhausted with 1:30h runtime.
Annoyed as they shouldn't have sent it out like this and I have the inconvience of going to the post office to return it.
There’s a vertical line on the screen which is either a burn / pressure damage. Plus the processor seems to be the 8250u as opposed to the 8350u it should have.

One fixed under cover and one removable?
That's the rubbish that the Apple lovers usually spout
Hot anyway.
I do like a T480.
For the money is great deal. Heat added
A comparison between the stock panel IPS (45% ntsc gamut) and upgrade panel IPS (72% ntsc gamut).

The upgraded panel is a must for any multimedia work that relies on colour accuracy and is also capable of HDR streaming videos/youtube (edited)
But can get i5 laptops like this one on the deal on eBay but obv second hand.
