Lenovo ThinkPad T550 i7-5600U 2.60GHz 16GB 256GB 14" laptop Grade B

ThinkPad T550 with Core i7-5600U

This 14-inch laptop runs Windows 10 Pro on an Intel Core i7-5600U dual-core processor at 2.60 GHz. It ships with 16 GB of memory and a 256 GB solid-state drive. The unit is graded B, meaning it is used, tested operational and may show minor cosmetic wear. It includes an AC power cord and battery.

Upgrade from older dual-core machines

The combination of 16 GB RAM and a 256 GB SSD removes the bottlenecks that slow systems limited to 8 GB or mechanical drives. Moving from a 4 GB or 8 GB configuration to 16 GB makes multitasking with office suites and browser tabs practical. The SSD also cuts boot and application load times compared with a traditional hard drive.

Suited for office and remote work

Professionals who need a reliable Windows 10 Pro device for document editing, email and video calls will find the 14-inch form factor portable and the 16 GB memory ample. Buyers who want more storage or a newer processor generation should look at other models. The Grade B cosmetic condition may not satisfy users who require a pristine appearance.
