Lenovo’s T Series ThinkPad business laptops get a power boost for 2018

Thought you’d made a good start on your new year’s resolutions? Wait until you hear about Lenovo’s T Series ThinkPads. 2018’s T480, T480S and T580 notebooks now come kitted with 8th-gen Core i7 processors, USB-C adapters, an IR camera and a ThinkShutter webcam cover for the security-conscious. At just 2.9 pounds, the T480S will be one of the lighter laptops in its category, while the 15in T580 has a dual battery setup that apparently allows for an impressive 27 hours of juice. The bigger device also comes with the option of a 4K display, with all three offering GeForce MX150 graphics to those who want them. You can pick up the entry level T480 for $989 (around £730), while the T480S starts at $1,269 (around £935), and it’s $1,079 (around £795) for the base T580. Expect them to launch before the month is out.

About

I'm fascinated by all things tech, but if you were going to leave me on a desert island, I'd probably ask for my Nintendo Switch, a drone, and a pair of noise-cancelling cans to block out the relentless seagull racket. When I'm not on Stuff duty you'll probably find me subscribing to too many podcasts, playing too many video games, or telling anyone who will listen that Spurs are going to win a trophy this season.
