Lenovo ThinkPad T470s i5-6300U 20GB 2TB 14 FHD LTE Windows 10 Pro

Business ultraportable with integrated LTE

The Lenovo ThinkPad T470s is a 14.0 inch business laptop built around an Intel Core i5-6300U processor reaching 3.0GHz. It ships with 20GB of DDR4 memory and a 2TB NVMe solid-state drive. Windows 10 Pro is pre-installed and a factory LTE-A WWAN card provides mobile broadband connectivity. The matte IPS panel displays 1920 x 1080 resolution without touch input.

Upgrade from mechanical storage and lower memory

Replacing a traditional hard drive with the 2TB NVMe SSD cuts boot time by nearly three times and opens files up to 30 percent faster. Sequential transfers reach around 200 MB/s versus 50 to 120 MB/s on rotating media. The 20GB DDR4 configuration removes the bottleneck felt on 8GB or 12GB systems when running multiple business applications and virtual machines simultaneously.

Thunderbolt 3 expands dock and display options

A single USB-C port carries Thunderbolt 3 at up to 40 Gbps, delivering four times the data bandwidth and twice the video bandwidth of earlier USB-C implementations. This lets the laptop drive external monitors and high-speed storage through one compact dock. The chassis weighs between 2 and 2.9 lbs and passes 12 military-grade durability tests. Buyers who need a second discrete graphics card or user-replaceable memory modules should look elsewhere.
