Lenovo 14-LN-T450S-02 refurbished laptop Intel Core i5-5300U 8GB 512GB SSD 14.0

Refurbished ThinkPad T450s 14 inch business laptop

This refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad T450s is a 14.0 inch business Ultrabook powered by an Intel Core i5-5300U processor at 2.3 GHz. It comes with 8GB of memory and a SATA 2.5 inch 512GB SSD running Windows 10 Home 64-Bit. The unit is Grade A condition with little-to-no wear and includes an AC adapter.

Upgrade from older dual core ultraportables

The 5th generation Core i5 and 512GB SSD replace slower mechanical drives and earlier low voltage chips for noticeable responsiveness in office workloads. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 5500 handles basic display output without discrete GPU power draw. The jump is worth it when moving from systems limited to 4GB memory or spinning disks.

Sustained office workloads on integrated graphics

Under continuous load the integrated graphics share system memory and thermal budget with the CPU. The 17 hour battery claim reflects light use rather than constant compute. Fan activity increases during long compiles or video playback but the chassis remains functional for typical business tasks. Buyers needing discrete graphics or more than 12GB maximum memory should look elsewhere.
