Lenovo ThinkPad T470 14" FHD laptop

The Lenovo ThinkPad T470 is a 14.0" FHD laptop powered by an Intel Core i7-6500U dual-core processor running at 2.50 GHz with a turbo frequency of 3.10 GHz. It comes with 8GB DDR4 memory and a new 500GB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD. The non-touch display delivers a 1920 x 1080 resolution. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit is pre-installed. This unit suits professionals needing a portable business device with solid-state storage.

Sustained load behaviour

Under sustained load the dual-core Intel Core i7-6500U maintains performance within its thermal envelope while the Intel HD Graphics 520 handles integrated visual tasks. The 8GB DDR4 memory supports multitasking across typical office applications. The 500GB NVMe SSD provides consistent read and write speeds for the operating system and active files. The system supports up to 32 GB of memory across two slots for future expansion if workloads grow.

Deciding specification

The 500GB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD capacity determines whether this laptop meets your storage needs. Users working with large local datasets, media libraries or multiple virtual machines may find the 500GB limit restrictive. The two memory slots allow an upgrade to 32 GB maximum, but the storage cannot be expanded internally without replacing the drive. Buyers who need more onboard capacity should consider a different configuration.
