I need a portable laptop to:

  • have a lot of online quality video calls
  • type a lot during each meeting
  • have a ton of browser tabs open
  • have a few CPU-demanding apps running at the same time

I will use this laptop as my main PC.

I’m also considering:

  • T480s
  • Carbon X1 Gen 7-8
  • Dell 7490

    I can’t speak for all of them, but we’ve had a couple hundred deployed over the last several years with very few issues. Mine’s been solid as a rock.

    The usb-c docks, however, are a nightmare, though I gather that’s fairly universal.

        Just part of our standard office package, everyone gets a laptop, dock, and external monitors for their workspace.

          I’ve ordered this ThinkPad T480 with:

          • Intel Core i7-8650U processor
          • 16GB DDR4 RAM
          • 512GB storage
          • 14" FHD IPS display
          • Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620

          When it arrives, before paying, what would you recommend to check within 10 minutes of receiving it?
