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
  • dirtybeerglass [none/use name]

    Carbon is great but you pay a premium for the form factor.

    480 is the choice for practical purposes, if budget is a factor.

      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?
