Product identity

The Lenovo ThinkPad X270 is a 12.5-inch ultrabook powered by a dual-core Intel Core i5-6300U processor running at 2.4 GHz with turbo up to 3.0 GHz. It ships with Windows 10 Pro, 8 GB of DDR4 memory in a 4 GB x 2 configuration and a 512 GB SSD. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 520 drives the 1366 x 768 HD non-touch display.

Who it suits and who it does not

Business users needing a lightweight 12.5-inch chassis with a docking connector, Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI, USB 3.0 and USB Type-C with DisplayPort will find the connectivity complete. Buyers who want a touchscreen, a higher-resolution panel or discrete graphics for creative workloads should look elsewhere. The two memory slots are both occupied, so anyone planning a future RAM upgrade must replace the existing modules.

Deciding specification

The 1366 x 768 HD resolution on a 12.5-inch screen defines the visual workspace; text and images will appear at this pixel density and cannot be changed without an external monitor.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 512 GB M.2 SSD and what step is often missed?

The 512 GB M.2 SSD comes pre-installed in the slot. If you replace it, secure the screw after inserting the drive; many forget the screw and the drive lifts off the connector.

What maintenance will the 8 GB DDR4 memory need later?

The 8 GB DDR4 memory uses both slots as 4 GB x 2. No maintenance is needed, but to increase capacity you must remove both modules and install a matched pair up to the 32 GB maximum.

Which limit appears first on the Core i5-6300U during sustained loads?

The dual-core Core i5-6300U runs at 2.4 GHz base and can boost to 3.0 GHz. Under sustained work the integrated Intel HD Graphics 520 thermal ceiling typically limits boost duration before the CPU itself throttles.
