Lenovo ThinkPad T560 laptop Intel Core i5-6300U 2.4GHz 8GB DDR3L 512GB SSD 15.6" 1920x1080 Windows 10 Pro

ThinkPad T560 with 15.6-inch FHD display

This Lenovo ThinkPad T560 is a 15.6-inch ultrabook built around an Intel Core i5-6300U processor running at 2.4 GHz with a 3.00 GHz turbo. It ships with 8 GB of DDR3L memory and a 512 GB solid-state drive. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit is pre-installed. The matte screen shows 1920 x 1080 resolution without touch input.

Upgrade from dual-core U-series

The i5-6300U adds two cores and four threads over earlier dual-core U-series chips, so multitasking and light compilation feel snappier. Moving from a hard drive to the included 512 GB SSD cuts boot and application load times dramatically. Buyers who want more storage or a discrete GPU for rendering will need a different chassis.

Integrated Intel HD Graphics 520 limits 3D work

The HD 520 handles desktop composition, video playback at 1080p and basic photo editing, but it shares system memory and has no dedicated VRAM. External displays are supported through the available video outputs, yet sustained gaming or GPU compute workloads will throttle quickly. The 720p webcam and SD card reader cover everyday conferencing and media transfer.
