Your IT staff will rest easy with the optional touch fingerprint reader, knowing they give the L480 greater security. And it’s been fully redesigned for productivity, meaning IT won’t have to listen to complaints about a slow laptop. And its mobility is enhanced by its global LTE-A WWAN (option available later), offering more connectivity in remote places. The L480 will make your employees’ jobs easier, a favour they will return to your IT department. Additional details on these features are available below.

The L480 was built for the road warrior. At 13% lighter and 8% thinner than the previous generation, it will go anywhere with ease. The antiglare IPS FHD display is also easy on the eyes. With up to 12 hours of life in its battery, you’ll get a lot of uninterrupted time without worrying about electrical outlets. And when you come back, the new USB-C mechanical side docking makes it easy to reconnect at your desk.

With the option of an integrated touch fingerprint reader, you'll never need to remember your password again! Simply touch the fingerprint scanner to access your L480, to log in automatically. What’s more, the fingerprint reader thwarts biometric hacking with anti-spoofing technology—that means the fingerprint image is saved inside the chip, and as such, it’s not sent out for login authentication when you sign in.

Your data is protected too, with the discrete Trusted Platform Module (dTPM), which encrypts your information. Lastly, Fast Identity Online (FIDO) enables hardened authentication that wraps your access info in three layers of security. FIDO authentication pertains to your online credentials, when you sign in to websites like Facebook or Google, or make payments via PayPal, Visa, etc. This global solution creates better security for online services, reduces costs for organisations, and is simpler and safer for users.
