Lenovo ThinkPad T470 14.0" 16GB 500GB SSD i5-6300U

Ready-to-upgrade ThinkPad T470

The ThinkPad T470 is a 14.0-inch business laptop with a dual-core Intel Core i5-6300U processor that reaches 3.00 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 16GB of DDR4 memory and a new 500GB M.2 NVMe PCIe solid-state drive. No operating system is installed, so the buyer provides their own licence and image.

HD panel limits external workflow

The integrated display uses a 1366 x 768 HD resolution on a non-touch 14.0-inch panel. Intel HD Graphics 520 drives the internal screen and any external monitors through the laptop's video outputs. The modest pixel count restricts multi-window productivity and makes the machine unsuitable for colour-critical or high-detail visual work.

Memory ceiling defines service life

Two SO-DIMM slots support up to 32GB of DDR4, doubling the factory-fitted 16GB. Buyers who anticipate heavier virtualization, large datasets or future Windows releases should plan for that upgrade now. Users needing more than 32GB of RAM or a higher-resolution display will need a different platform.
