Business-ready ultraportable

The ThinkPad T470s is a 14.0-inch laptop built for professionals who need a lightweight Windows 10 Pro machine with a matte IPS display. It ships new with an Intel Core i5-6300U processor, 8GB of DDR4 memory and a 256GB SSD. The chassis weighs between 2 and 2.9 lbs and includes a fingerprint reader plus a backlit keyboard.

Thunderbolt 3 connectivity limits

Thunderbolt 3 over USB-C delivers up to 40 Gbps of bandwidth, four times the data rate of earlier USB standards. Practical throughput depends on the attached device, cable quality and controller implementation, so sustained speeds will often fall below the theoretical maximum. The laptop also provides four USB ports and Bluetooth 4.1 for peripheral connections.

Soldered 8GB RAM ceiling

Memory is not upgradeable, so the 8GB DDR4 configuration fixes the multitasking headroom for the lifetime of the device. Buyers who need more RAM for virtual machines, large datasets or heavy creative workloads should consider a different platform. The 256GB SSD and 1920 x 1080 resolution are adequate for typical office tasks.

Questions about this item

Is the 8 GB DDR4 configuration sufficient for typical business workloads?

The 8 GB DDR4 memory handles everyday office applications, web browsing and multitasking smoothly. For heavy virtualisation or large datasets you would need more capacity, but this model ships with 8 GB only.

What does the Core i5-6300U at 3.0 GHz turbo deliver in daily use?

The dual-core processor reaches 3.0 GHz turbo for responsive performance in document editing, email and video calls. Sustained speeds will be lower under continuous load due to thermal limits.

How fast is the Thunderbolt 3 port in practice?

Thunderbolt 3 supports up to 40 Gbps theoretical bandwidth, enabling fast external storage, dual 4K displays and docking through a single USB-C connector. Actual throughput depends on the connected device and cable quality.
