Lenovo ThinkPad T580 | Core i5-8350U — 8GB / 256GB | 15.6"

The Lenovo ThinkPad T580 is a durable, business-class 15.6" laptop built for Kenyan professionals who need reliable day-to-day performance. Powered by an Intel Core i5-8350U, 8GB DDR4 RAM and a 256GB SSD, this model delivers responsive multitasking, fast boot times and a full-sized keyboard with a numeric pad — ideal for finance, education and office workloads across Nairobi, Mombasa and beyond.

Why the T580 works best

Whether you're preparing reports at a co-working space, teaching blended classes, or running small business operations from a county office, the T580 balances screen real-estate and portability. The 15.6" FHD non-touch display gives clear visuals for spreadsheets and video calls while the durable ThinkPad chassis and comprehensive port selection (Ethernet, HDMI and USB-C/Thunderbolt options) make it a practical daily driver for on-site work and remote access.

The 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD delivers quick Windows 10 Professional boot and app load times, and the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 handles business graphics, video conferencing and light photo edits.
