Ready for Mobile Professionals

This 12.5-inch ThinkPad X270 ships new with Windows 10 Pro, a dual-core Intel Core i5-6300U running at 2.4 GHz up to 3.0 GHz with Turbo Boost, 32 GB of DDR4 memory in a 16 GB x 2 configuration, and a 256 GB SSD. It targets business users who need a compact ultrabook for office applications, video calls and light multitasking on the move.

Durable Chassis with Essential Ports

The black ultrabook body weighs between 4 and 4.9 lbs and includes a 1366 x 768 HD non-touch display, integrated webcam, dual-band Wi-Fi 4 with Bluetooth, two USB 3.0 ports, one USB Type-C port with DisplayPort output, HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, a docking connector and a headset jack. Memory slots are fully populated at the 32 GB maximum, so future RAM upgrades are not possible.

Integrated Graphics and Legacy Wireless Limits

Intel HD Graphics 520 handles only basic desktop work and video playback; it cannot drive modern games or GPU-accelerated workloads. Wi-Fi 4 tops out at lower throughput than current standards, so crowded networks will feel slower. The single 256 GB drive may require external storage for large media libraries or project archives.

Questions about this item

What does the USB Type-C port with DisplayPort functionality cap for external video?

The USB Type-C port carries DisplayPort video so you can drive an external monitor at up to 1366 x 768 or higher depending on the display, while the HDMI port also supports video out.

What are the exact dimensions and weight range for this 12.5 inch ultrabook?

The system weighs between 4 and 4.9 lbs and uses the standard ThinkPad X270 chassis that fits existing X270 docks and sleeves.

How do I upgrade the memory and which slot do people forget to populate?

Both DDR4 slots are already filled with 16 GB modules for 32 GB total; there is no free slot, so any upgrade requires replacing both sticks.
