Lenovo ThinkPad T470s i7-7600U 12GB 512GB 14 WQHD Windows 7 Pro Silver

Silver business ultraportable

The Lenovo ThinkPad T470s in silver is a 14.0" laptop built for professionals who need a light, durable machine with a sharp display. It ships new with Windows 7 Professional and an Intel Core i7-7600U processor reaching 3.9GHz. The 2560 x 1440 IPS matte panel, fingerprint reader and smart-card reader complete a travel-ready package weighing 2 - 2.9 lbs.

Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C limits

A single Thunderbolt 3 port provides up to 40 Gbps of bandwidth for data and video, but the laptop only includes four USB ports in total. Bluetooth 4.1 handles short-range peripherals, yet there is no newer Bluetooth revision listed. The non-touch matte screen and UltraNav touchpad keep input traditional, so users wanting pen or multi-touch input will need a different device.

512GB SSD and 12GB DDR4 headroom

The 512GB solid-state drive boots nearly three times faster than a mechanical disk and moves files around 200 MB/s, leaving mechanical drives at 50-120 MB/s. Twelve gigabytes of DDR4 memory keeps typical office workloads and moderate multitasking smooth. Heavy virtualisation, large media projects or memory-hungry development environments will exceed the installed RAM and the soldered design prevents upgrades.
