## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Bought in March 2024 - Best laptop buy I've ever made. Lenovo build quality & upgradable spec'... - Very, very happy with this re-furbished T480. Lenovo reached a pinnacle with the T480 I think. It still had classic features of earlier models combined with an extremely good (& replaceable) keyboard. Take the back off easily to upgrade pretty much anything without fuss. Love it. I've not needed to upgrade mine with the re-furbished spec', 16Gb & the solid state 256Gb is great. I bought a 256Gb SDXC card which is left installed in the SD slot all the time as my back-up location. Of course you could buy a 500Gb SD now too for less probably, but I never store too much on a laptop without occasional transfer to my main desktop system. The keyboard has been pounded extensively over the past 6 months of ownership and I am seriously tempted to buy another re-furb' T480 from these suppliers again. Upgrading the solid state drive is not complicated either with the easy access to internal components the T480 offers. I've not explored that, but fitting a 1Tb solid state drive would really boost storage capacity of course. I do not see any compact HD screened laptop with such repairable & upgradable capacity in the long run available today (at this price), when laptop tech' is always moving forward rapidly. I use mine primarily for browsing & word processing. Can't speak for HD graphic gaming, but I do play 4K video & edit it without much of a delay. So the standard refurb' spec' appears to work well from own perspective. The case, touchpad & keyboard are still working positively & I know I can replace individual components as & when, at least at present. This is not an illuminated keyboard version but apparently the illuminated version is less durable & tactile (only from what I've read in reviews, as I had planned to upgrade that, but it would not have been an upgrade really I've now realised I think). I do a lot of typing on the T480 & it is responsive & has a positive feedback with a definite depth of press to the keys, nice! I use an external Bluetooth or wired mouse, but the touchpad is swift with the L&R selector keys directly above & between the main keypad spacebar. Everything has a reassuring positive click & response to it. I am not a user of the famous 'red dot' Lenovo red navigation textured button in the middle of the keyboard (below G & H); but other users claim it is one of the best input method features on Lenovo's. I have used it for some basic cursor moving, but cannot speak for it's real application in everyday use... I need to spend more time using it! I bought 2 heavy duty batteries (I love the fact you can swap out batteries... how many laptops offer that these days!?) & an AC charger for these 3rd party batteries from eBay, which work great incidentally. The supplied slimline battery (an original Lenovo I think as it has a slightly textured feel to it, which I remember from work Lenovo's I've used) is fine, however, it will only give you around an hour use unless plugged in to the AC & charging while using. Yes, these are 'cleaned & swiped' items, the back is definitely not the original. The plastic is smooth, durable enough, but clearly does not have the labels associated with either Microsoft or Lenovo's own manufacturing details. However, open the device & the internals on the my model are original. The internal battery is missing, no big deal I think, I do not want an aged leaking/original internal battery & it is still an option to purchase & add the internal battery if you want. I think it's just simpler to have a couple of external heavy duty batteries as mentioned. It is just cool these days that you can swap out a flat battery with ease & slide into a fresh one. You could have up to three different types of battery capacities as far as I found on eBay. Just makes the whole device much more flexible & dependable for power I think. Just my opinion of course, others may feel differently. I'll post another review after a year of keystrokes! Thank you for taking the time to read my review.
Review: Using it now - Great laptop. However very disappointed charging port doesn't work and the charger is came with was the wrong one with an adapter which didn't connect and stay charged. I was furious at time but I use these for work and you can use the headphone port to charge. I had a spare charger so the other one is in the box still. Can't fault the actual functionality and performance of the laptop. Just very poor care for detail when testing it and not providing the right charger. Last why my review is poor as anyone else would be complaining and asking for a refund. I wont settle for second best next time a buy a used item from desertcart.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant
*by A***R on 13 August 2025*

Excellent very happy with this laptop. After some research I chose this laptop after my two previous ones were a disaster. Was slightly concerned following reading other reviews regarding battery, however the postive reviews far outweighed the negative ones to decided to go for it. I have waited a month before leaving this review and so far am 100% happy with purchase, it works like a dream. As new condition. Set up was seamless, everything exactly as described and so far no issues with battery at all. Thanks for Excellent quality laptop at bargain price very happy.
