Few Cool Features

This laptop has DDR4 RAM and looks really cool and sleek. You’ll find many with scratches because they show signs of use easily. Getting a full HD version of the T480 is also tough. The model I have is a full HD version with a touchscreen. If you have this laptop, please don’t sell it. Keep it for as long as you can. If you think you don’t need it anymore, just box it up and store it safely. It’s a valuable laptop.

Why Everyone is keeping a Lenovo ThinkPad T480

When it arrives, take off the back cover carefully. This might be tricky the first time. I struggled at first, but I found that using a small tool to gently pry it open works well. Be careful not to break any clips and don’t force it, and remember to always use the right screwdriver to loosen the screws. You can should also remove the external battery at this stage.

Now, remove the old internal battery. There are two screws holding it. Use the same screwdriver to unscrew them and gently disconnect the battery connector. Lift out the old battery.

Put in the new battery by first connecting it properly. Then slide the battery into its compartment. Make sure it fits well and then screw it in gently. Don’t force anything.
