ThinkPad X270 12.5" business ultrabook

The Lenovo ThinkPad X270 is a 12.5-inch ultrabook built 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 Turbo Boost up to 3.0 GHz. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 520 handles the 1366 x 768 HD display. The system includes 8 GB of DDR4 memory in a 4 GB x 2 configuration and a 256 GB SSD.

Suits frequent travellers.

This laptop suits buyers who value a lightweight chassis around 4 to 4.9 lbs and a durable business design for on-the-go productivity. The 12.5-inch non-touch screen keeps the footprint small for airline trays and tight desks. Buyers who want more screen real estate, a touchscreen, or discrete graphics for creative workloads should look at something else. The two SODIMM slots are both populated, so a memory upgrade requires replacing the existing modules.

Dual-core i5-6300U with 2.4 GHz base

The processor is the specification that defines this unit's performance envelope. Its two cores and four threads deliver responsive office multitasking and web browsing within a low-power design. The 2.4 GHz base clock and 3.0 GHz maximum turbo set the pace for everyday business applications. Heavier tasks such as video editing or modern gaming will exceed what this integrated graphics platform can deliver.

Questions about this item

Does the laptop ship with a charger and are any cables or adapters sold separately?

The ThinkPad X270 includes an AC adapter and charger in the box. It also provides one HDMI cable, one RJ-45 Ethernet port, two USB 3.0 ports, one USB Type-C port with DisplayPort function, a headphone/microphone combo jack and a docking connector, so no extra cables are required for standard use.

Should I choose the 8 GB DDR4 configuration or plan to upgrade to the 32 GB maximum supported memory?

The unit comes with 8 GB DDR4 installed as two 4 GB modules filling both slots. To reach the 32 GB maximum you would need to replace both modules, so the factory 8 GB is ready to use immediately while an upgrade requires purchasing new memory.

What does the 2.4 GHz base clock and 3.0 GHz turbo of the i5-6300U mean for everyday workloads?

The dual-core i5-6300U runs at 2.4 GHz base and can boost to 3.0 GHz with Turbo Boost, giving responsive performance for office applications, web browsing and video playback while the integrated Intel HD Graphics 520 handles the 1366 x 768 display.
