Design The ThinkPad T480 has a design aesthetic that’s functional but not sexy, with the standard raven-black Lenovo chassis that’s adorned by a soft-touch lid. There’s been no change in looks for the past couple of years, so you probably couldn’t tell the T480 apart from a T470 or a T460. At 13.25 x 9.15 x 0.78 inches and 3.58 pounds (3.98 pounds with the high-capacity battery), the T480 isn’t the slimmest or lightest 14-inch business laptop around....

Origin PC. When you need a gaming laptop with truly outlandish performance and a wealth of customization options, accept no substitutes. The company has revamped its Eon17-X to accommodate a ridiculously powerful Intel 8th-Gen desktop processor, which plays surprisingly well with the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 GPU, PCIe SSD and G-Sync display inhabiting the massive chassis. As if that weren’t enough, the laptop’s CPU and GPU come overclocked out the box....
