Questions about this item

How long does the 320 GB 2.5" hard drive last before it becomes the bottleneck under heavy daily workloads?

The 320 GB 2.5" hard drive is a mechanical drive; sustained heavy read/write activity will hit its throughput limit well before the processor or memory do.

What temperature and fan noise should I expect from the Core i5-3320M and Intel HD Graphics 4000 after hours of continuous use?

The dual-core i5-3320M and integrated HD 4000 share a single cooling system; under all-day load the chassis warms noticeably and the fan runs at audible speeds.

Which peripherals must I already own to use the VGA and DisplayPort outputs on this T430?

You need a monitor or projector with a VGA or DisplayPort input and the matching cable; the laptop provides both ports but no adapters are included.
