Full Port Selection Including Ethernet
The E480 provides a practical port selection — two USB-A ports, one USB-C, HDMI for external displays, built-in Gigabit Ethernet for wired networks, a microSD card reader and headphone jack. All the connectivity needed for home, office and travel.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the E-series and T-series ThinkPad? The T-series uses higher-grade chassis materials and passes MIL-SPEC durability tests. The E-series is Lenovo’s budget ThinkPad line with the same keyboard quality at a lower price.
Does it have built-in Ethernet? Yes — a Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 port is built directly into the chassis.
Is the USB-C port Thunderbolt 3? No — the E480 has a standard USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 port which supports data, charging and DisplayPort but not Thunderbolt 3.
Does it come with Windows 11? Yes — all Technology Core refurbished laptops are supplied with a genuine licensed copy of Windows 11.
