14-inch ThinkPad for mobile professionals

This 14.0-inch Lenovo ThinkPad ships new with Windows 11 Pro and an 8th Gen Intel Core i5-8250U quad-core processor. Eight gigabytes of DDR4 memory and a 128 GB SSD provide a responsive baseline for office applications and video calls. The non-touch FHD IPS panel delivers 1920 x 1080 resolution in a compact ultrabook chassis.

128 GB SSD as the primary storage constraint

The single drive is a 128 GB solid-state unit with no secondary hard drive installed. That capacity holds the operating system, core productivity suites and a modest working set of files. Users who keep large media libraries, virtual machines or extensive project archives will need external or cloud storage from day one.

Included 45 W or 65 W AC adapter powers the unit

The bundle supplies an OEM 45 W or 65 W charger so the laptop is ready to run immediately. A front-facing webcam, Intel Dual Band wireless with Bluetooth and a single USB-C port alongside three USB 3.1 ports, HDMI and RJ-45 Ethernet are built in. SD card slot and fingerprint reader are optional and not guaranteed on every unit.
