ThinkPad T550 for business users

The ThinkPad T550 is a 15.6-inch ultrabook built around an Intel Core i7-5600U dual-core processor running at 2.60 GHz with turbo up to 3.2 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of DDR3L 1600 memory in one slot and a 256 GB SSD. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 5500 drives the 1920 x 1080 anti-glare panel rated at 300 nits. Windows 7 Pro 64-bit is pre-installed with downgrade rights from Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit.

Integrated graphics and display limits

The Intel HD Graphics 5500 uses shared system memory and suits office applications, video playback and light creative work. It does not support discrete GPU workloads such as modern gaming or GPU-accelerated rendering. The 15.6-inch FHD panel delivers a 16:9 workspace at 1920 x 1080 resolution with LED backlight and anti-glare coating. External displays connect via VGA or Mini DisplayPort; the integrated GPU drives both internal and external screens simultaneously within its memory and output constraints.

Durable chassis with fingerprint reader

The black ThinkPad chassis includes a fingerprint reader for Windows Hello style login and a docking connector for desk-based expansion. Three USB 3.0 ports handle peripherals and storage at up to 5 Gbps. A combo headphone/microphone jack covers audio. Intel I218-LM Gigabit LAN and Intel 7265 ac Wi-Fi with Bluetooth 4.0 provide wired and wireless connectivity. Two memory slots accept up to 16 GB total for future upgrades.
