Purpose-built mobile workstation

The ThinkPad T470 pairs a dual-core Intel Core i5-7300U running at 2.60 GHz with 8 GB of memory and a 256 GB PCIe NVMe SSD. Windows 10 Pro is pre-installed on the 14.0-inch FHD IPS panel at 1920 x 1080. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 620 handles everyday visual tasks without a discrete GPU.

Connectivity and expansion

Thunderbolt 3 over USB-C supplies video-out and high-speed data through a single port, while HDMI adds a second external display option. Three USB 3.1 ports, Gigabit Ethernet and an SD card reader cover legacy peripherals and wired networks. Bluetooth 4.2 and 802.11ac wireless LAN handle cable-free accessories and internet access.

Capacity ceiling

The 256 GB NVMe drive holds the operating system and a working project set, but large media libraries will require external storage. Eight gigabytes of RAM keeps typical office and browser workloads smooth; heavier virtualisation or video editing will hit the memory limit. The non-touch IPS screen delivers accurate colour for document review but offers no pen or gesture input.

Questions about this item

How long can the 2.60 GHz base clock hold before thermal limits drop the i5-7300U below its 3.50 GHz boost?

The dual-core Kaby Lake chip runs at 2.60 GHz base and can reach 3.50 GHz boost; sustained loads will throttle once the cooling solution hits its thermal ceiling, so expect clocks to settle between those two figures.

What are the typical fan noise and surface temperatures when the T470 runs a full-day workload?

Integrated Intel HD Graphics 620 keeps heat modest; the fan stays audible but not loud, and palm-rest temperatures remain comfortable during extended use.

Which cables or adapters must I already own to use the Thunderbolt 3 port on this unit?

The Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) port carries video, data and power, so you need a USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 cable and any monitor or dock with a matching USB-C input.
