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

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?

Screen for dead pixels, make sure ram and disk sizes are as advertised - and CPU. That’s all
