ThinkPad T470 14" HD laptop

The Lenovo ThinkPad T470 is a 14.0-inch HD laptop powered by an Intel Core i5-7300U dual-core processor with a base frequency of 2.60 GHz and a turbo frequency of 3.50 GHz. It comes with 8GB of DDR4 memory and a new 128GB 2.5" SATA SSD. The unit ships without an operating system, so the buyer must provide one.

Dual memory slots and SATA storage

The system board provides two memory slots and supports up to 32 GB of DDR4 RAM, allowing a straightforward capacity increase later. The 2.5-inch SATA SSD can be swapped for a larger drive without needing an adapter or a different drive form factor. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 620 handles the display output on the 1366 x 768 panel.

Sustained workloads on a dual-core U-series chip

The i5-7300U is a low-power dual-core processor designed for steady office tasks rather than continuous heavy compute. Under prolonged load the CPU will throttle to stay within its thermal envelope, so multi-threaded rendering or compilation runs slower than on higher-wattage parts. The integrated graphics share system memory, which limits sustained gaming or GPU compute performance.
