This is my first thinkpad ever. I chose to possess T480 long ago, but my Thinkbook 14s was working fine, and also T480 was not available nearby me (Nepal). Finally when I got a chance to order one from Malaysia, I instantly chose T480 for 1300RM. For Nepali market, it is super cheap (about $270). This is a 16/512 GB variant with NVMe SSD, touchscreen and matte display (!) and processor i5 8350U. Very happy after about 4 years of waiting.

Took me a while to be a man of culture.

BTW the smaller Thinkpad is L13 yoga Gen 2 which is for my sister-in-law. And I gave Thinkbook to my brother.

Enjoy!

It sounds like a cool config you got - a matte touchscreen? (!) indeed!

It is indeed. Not expected this. I was pleasantly surprised when I casually touched the screen after an hour of playing. :)

I didn't even know they existed!

Neither did I, till I saw. And touched.
