Lenovo ThinkPad X270 12.5" HD i5-6300U 1TB SSD 8GB DDR4

12.5" HD Ultrabook for Business

The Lenovo ThinkPad X270 is a 12.5-inch HD ultrabook designed for mobile professionals who need a compact Windows 10 Pro machine. It runs on a dual-core Intel Core i5-6300U processor with a base speed of 2.4 GHz and up to 3.0 GHz via Turbo Boost. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 520 handles the 1366 x 768 display. The system includes 8 GB of DDR4 RAM in a 4 GB x 2 configuration and a 1 TB PCIe M.2 SSD.

Suits Travelers, Not Power Users

This laptop suits buyers who prioritise portability and a durable chassis for office tasks, web browsing and video calls on the move. The 12.5-inch non-touch screen keeps the footprint small. It is not for buyers who want more screen real estate or a higher resolution panel. It is not for users who need discrete graphics performance for creative workloads or gaming. The two memory slots are fully populated, so anyone wanting more than 8 GB of RAM must replace the existing modules rather than add to them.

1 TB PCIe M.2 SSD Decides Fit

The single specification that decides whether this is the right part is the 1 TB PCIe M.2 solid-state drive. It provides the primary storage capacity and the interface speed for the operating system and applications. Buyers who need more than 1 TB of internal space should look at a different configuration. Those who require a 2.5-inch drive bay for a secondary hard drive will not find one in this ultrabook design.
