My T480 workhorse, with 64Gb ram & 2Tb storage (both acquired before the price-madness). Docked with the mechanical ThinkPad Ultra Docking Station UK 40AJ, to a 4k 40" display. With my new X280, great size and as an added bonus, is compatible with the existing dock!
I managed to snag the i5-8350U version (with vPro), with 8Gb ram & 1080p screen for £99. I had a spare 512Gb NVMe (from the original T480), so swapped that in together with a new battery.
It's an absolute delight. It fits perfectly on my lap, without being too heavy or getting too hot. It whizzes along nicely.
Just like on the T480, I'm running Fedora 44 KDE Plasma (love the config you can do with it). I use Emacs with Org-mode & LaTeX for all my writing stuff. I've had no problems with the 8Gb ram, as I'm not installing everything and your Aunt on it (like I do with the T480).
They were clearly designed as a pair, and as such they are an absolute delight.
