ThinkPad T420 with 8 GB memory

This 14.0-inch laptop ships with a dual-core Intel Core i5 2520M running at 2.5 GHz and 8 GB of system memory. It targets office workers and students who need a traditional clamshell form factor and a full Windows 7 Professional environment. The non-touch HD display keeps the focus on text-heavy tasks.

Integrated graphics and optical drive

Intel HD Graphics handles the 1366 x 768 LED-backlit panel without a discrete GPU, so 3D workloads stay light. A built-in DVD±RW drive lets users read and write legacy media directly. Stereo speakers, a dual-array microphone and a fingerprint reader on the palm rest complete the bundled feature set.

Windows 7 and 802.11n wireless limits

The pre-installed Windows 7 Professional no longer receives security updates, which restricts safe use on modern networks. Wireless connectivity tops out at 802.11a/b/g/n speeds, and the single gigabit LAN port caps wired throughput at 1000 Mbps. Buyers who need current OS patches or faster Wi-Fi standards should plan an upgrade path.

Questions about this item

Will the 320GB hard drive be the first part I need to replace?

The 320GB mechanical drive is the most likely component to wear out first; swapping it for a solid-state drive later will also speed up the system.

What stops the i5-2520M from running at 2.5GHz continuously?

The dual-core processor will hit its thermal ceiling under long heavy loads, causing the firmware to throttle clocks to protect the chip.

How loud and hot does the 14-inch chassis get during an all-day workload?

Expect audible fan noise and noticeable warmth on the keyboard deck and base as the integrated graphics and CPU share the same cooling assembly.
