Lenovo ThinkPad T470 laptop i5-6300U 8GB 240GB SSD 14 HD

ThinkPad T470 14-inch HD laptop

This 14.0-inch Lenovo ThinkPad T470 is a compact business laptop built around a dual-core Intel Core i5-6300U processor running at 2.40 GHz with a 3.00 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory and a new 240 GB M.2 NVMe PCIe solid-state drive. No operating system is installed, so the buyer provides their own Windows or Linux licence.

Dual-core i5-6300U with 3.00 GHz turbo

The processor is a dual-core design whose single-thread turbo reaches 3.00 GHz, making that peak frequency the key figure for responsive office applications and light multitasking. Two cores limit parallel throughput, so workloads that scale across many threads will not benefit from additional cores. Buyers who need more cores for sustained rendering or compilation should consider a different platform.

Intel HD Graphics 520 under sustained load

The integrated Intel HD Graphics 520 handles desktop composition and video playback without a discrete GPU, but its thermal envelope is shared with the CPU. During extended heavy graphics or compute tasks the combined heat output will trigger frequency throttling, reducing both graphics and processor clocks. The system supports up to 32 GB of memory across two slots for larger working sets.
