Highlights
Processor (CPU)Intel Core i5 (typically 8th Generation, such as the i5-8250U or i5-8350U). This is a quad-core, low-power U-series chip, providing a significant performance jump over 7th Gen dual-core CPUs.
Memory (RAM)8GB DDR4. Crucially, the RAM is soldered to the motherboard on the X280 and cannot be upgraded later. 8GB is sufficient for general productivity, web browsing, and office work.
Storage256GB PCIe NVMe SSD. This is a fast-performing solid-state drive that ensures very quick boot times and rapid application loading, making the system feel highly responsive.
Display12.5-inch. It was offered in a few versions, including HD (1366×768) and Full HD (1920×1080) IPS. The FHD IPS option is highly recommended for better image quality, color accuracy, and viewing angles.

Performance and Core Specifications (i5-1235U):
The heart of this model is the 12th Generation Intel Core i5-1235U processor, featuring a 10-core (2 Performance-cores + 8 Efficient-cores) and 12-thread design. This chip, coupled with integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics, provides significantly improved multi-tasking performance and efficiency over previous generations. The 8GB of DDR4 RAM (often with one soldered module and one open slot for upgradeability up to 40GB) and the fast 256GB M.2 PCIe Gen 4 SSD ensure quick boot times and responsive application loading. This configuration is well-suited for everyday office work, web browsing, presentations, and light content creation.
Design, Durability, and Keyboard:
True to the ThinkPad legacy, the E14 Gen 4 features a robust build, passing several MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability tests. It combines an anodized aluminum top cover with a polycarbonate plastic bottom, resulting in a portable machine starting at around 1.59kg (3.50 lbs) and 17.9mm thick. The legendary ThinkPad keyboard remains a major highlight, offering an excellent typing experience, often including a backlight and the signature red TrackPoint. Security features like a dTPM 2.0 chip, a physical webcam privacy shutter, and an optional fingerprint reader on the power button are standard.
Display and Connectivity:
The most common display option is a 14-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS panel, typically rated at 300 nits brightness with 45% NTSC color coverage. While adequate for indoor office work, the brightness and color accuracy are functional rather than premium, which is a common trade-off for the E-series’ price point.
Connectivity is comprehensive, featuring a modern port selection that includes Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 40Gbps (on the Intel model), a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port, USB-A ports (one always-on), HDMI 2.0, an Ethernet (RJ45) port, and an audio combo jack. Wireless connectivity is excellent with support for up to Wi-Fi 6E.
Battery Life and Trade-offs:
The laptop is offered with either a 45Wh or a 57Wh battery. Lenovo claims up to 9.2 hours (45Wh) or 15 hours (57Wh) based on the MobileMark 2018 benchmark. In real-world, mixed usage scenarios, users with the 57Wh battery can generally expect around 6 to 8 hours on the i5-1235U model, which is decent but may struggle to deliver a full workday without a charge. The 65W USB-C AC adapter supports Rapid Charge
