I've switched back to the #Vaio SVP13 ultrabook. The battery issues with the #ThinkPad T480 kept coming back and now the internal battery is refusing to charge.
To be honest, the T480 never felt "right" to me. I'd rather use my flimsy, significantly slower Vaio with less RAM, a dodgy battery, and a keyboard that's falling apart, but significantly better screen and speakers.
The T480 is still under warranty, so I'm going to contact the seller and take it from there.
Happily. the WiFi 6E card I bought for the T480 works in the Vaio, so at least I've got a bit of an upgrade.
Where I go next I don't know. For what I do, If I can't get a refund on the T480, I might consider spending a bit more and getting an X1 Carbon gen 9, or maybe even investing in a Framework 13.

@thelastpsion Refunding after swapping the screen a few times sounds hard!

@penguin42 Ssh! 😅
If I can't get a refund or replacement, I'll have to rethink.

@thelastpsion If you're willing to buy a Framework maybe you can consider the #mnt reform too ( @mntmn ).

They will release a new model this year: https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/mnt-reform-next

@thelastpsion Yikes, it sounds like you got a really dodgy T480. I love mine, although admittedly I use it as more of a portable workstation than a proper laptop. I'm just nervous that Lenovo looks like they're going to start neutering the ThinkPad line; a machine without a trackpoint isn't a ThinkPad!
