Thunderbolt 3 and Wired Ethernet in an Ultra-Slim Build
Despite its slim profile, the T480s packs both Thunderbolt 3 and a built-in RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet port — a combination rare in ultraslim 14-inch laptops. Thunderbolt 3 enables single-cable docking, 4K display output and 40Gbps data transfer. The second USB-C port also supports DisplayPort and Power Delivery. HDMI 1.4b provides direct monitor output. The side docking connector supports Lenovo ThinkPad mechanical docking stations for comprehensive desk setups. Two USB-A ports (one Always On) and a 4-in-1 SD card reader complete the port set.
