Lenovo ThinkPad T470 14 laptop i5-6300U 2.4GHz 8GB 256GB Black

Business-ready 14-inch ThinkPad T470

This 14-inch laptop ships new with Windows 10 Pro and an Intel Core i5-6300U dual-core processor running at 2.4 GHz. It includes 8 GB of DDR4 memory and a 256 GB PCIe solid-state drive. The IPS display delivers a 1920 x 1080 resolution without touch input, suited for mobile professionals who value durability and security features such as a fingerprint reader and TPM 2.0.

Sustained workload behaviour

The integrated Intel HD Graphics 520 handles everyday office applications and video playback without a discrete GPU. Under continuous load the dual-core processor maintains its base frequency while the passive cooling design manages thermals within the thin chassis. Battery life will vary with screen brightness and workload intensity, but the platform is engineered for all-day mobility rather than heavy compute bursts.

Connectivity and expansion limits

The system provides Thunderbolt 3, HDMI, multiple USB ports, a 3.5 mm combo jack and a 4-in-1 card reader for peripheral attachment. Wireless connectivity uses 802.11 ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1. Memory can be expanded to 32 GB across two slots, while storage is limited to the single 256 GB PCIe drive bay. Users requiring additional internal storage or discrete graphics should consider a different form factor.
