Yes, thunderbolt works fine for video to a 2nd monitor. That would be the only way to accomplish 3 displays with that laptop. Just get a male thunderbolt cable to whatever connection the monitor accepts (DVI/HDMI/Displayport/etc.). Shouldn't need any adapter.

A Thunderbolt is a piece of shit docking station. It is a "brick" for lack of better words. Yes you can use dual monitors if you use a Lenovo docking station - an actual docking station. I work for a hospital that uses Lenovo exclusively. Yes you would be able to connect 2 monitors and use the laptop screen as the 3rd.
P.S. I work in IT and deploy Lenovo products. |

Take a HDMI to DVI/HDMI/Displayport cable, connect it to port 8 on this Lenovo T480, and connect to external monitor #1. Take a USB-C to DVI/HDMI/Displayport cable, connect it to port 4 on this Lenovo T480, and connect external monitor #2. Done. 3 displays. |
