Lenovo 14-LN-T450-96 ThinkPad T450 laptop, Core i5-5300U 2.30GHz, 8GB, 128GB SSD, 14.1

Refurbished ThinkPad T450 for business users

This Lenovo ThinkPad T450 is a refurbished 14.1-inch laptop aimed at professionals who need a reliable Windows 10 Pro machine for office tasks. It ships with an Intel Core i5-5300U processor at 2.30 GHz, 8 GB of DDR3L memory and a 128 GB SATA SSD. The unit is graded B, meaning it may show minor cosmetic wear while remaining fully functional.

Thermals noise and power in daily use

The integrated graphics and low-voltage CPU keep heat output modest during typical document and web work, so the internal fan runs quietly most of the time. SSD storage eliminates mechanical drive noise and reduces power draw compared with a traditional hard drive, helping the lithium-ion battery last through a standard workday. An AC adapter is included for charging.

Behaviour under sustained load

Under continuous multi-threaded workloads the dual-core processor will hit its thermal limits and throttle clock speeds to stay within its power envelope. The 8 GB memory ceiling and 128 GB SSD capacity can become bottlenecks for large datasets or virtual machines, and the maximum supported memory is 16 GB. Buyers who need more storage or higher sustained compute performance should consider other options.
