The company is also updating its ThinkPad line in the X, T and L series up to go up to 8th Generation Intel Core CPUs while the units are lighter and slimmer than their predecessors. Other features include rapid charging to 80% within an hour and improved battery life. The L480 and L580 now have AMD graphics options and there is a new mechanical side dock and USB-C power adaptors. The T480S has an Nvidia M150 GPU option, which was promised, but didn’t arrive on the T460S and was never an option on the T470S. Other features include a ‘ThinkShutter’ camera blocker.

On the display side of the new notebook range, the T480 will have the 2560 x 1440 option that was previously not available on the T470.
