Certified Refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 1 – Premium Business Laptop

The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 1 (Intel) delivers enterprise-class performance in a remarkably portable package, featuring a 10th Gen Intel Core i5-10310U processor (up to 4.4GHz Turbo), 8GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD, and a 14-inch Full HD IPS display. Weighing just 1.53kg, this MIL-STD-810H certified laptop combines Lenovo's legendary ThinkPad durability with the processing power needed for demanding business workloads—because modern professionals need a device that can handle video conferencing, multiple applications, and extensive multitasking without slowdowns. During a typical workday, you can run Microsoft Teams, work across 15+ browser tabs, edit documents, and analyse spreadsheets simultaneously whilst maintaining responsive performance.

Our technicians consistently observe that this configuration offers excellent value for businesses upgrading from older hardware, particularly because the 10th Gen Intel processor delivers meaningful performance improvements over 7th and 8th Gen equivalents whilst maintaining compatibility with enterprise IT infrastructure.

Common Questions

Can it handle video calls whilst multitasking?
Yes—the i5-10310U processor and 16GB RAM handle Teams or Zoom video calls comfortably whilst running productivity applications. In our testing, we routinely see stable video performance with 10-15 additional applications open, though 4K video rendering would require more powerful hardware.

How does this compare to newer budget laptops?
This refurbished ThinkPad offers superior build quality, keyboard, and durability compared to new laptops under $800. The 10th Gen Intel processor performs similarly to current entry-level 12th Gen i3 chips found in budget models, whilst the ThinkPad's MIL-STD certification and business-class design far exceed consumer-grade alternatives.

Is the integrated graphics sufficient for my needs?
The Intel UHD Graphics handles 1080p video playback, basic photo editing, and office applications smoothly. It's not designed for gaming or 3D rendering, but works perfectly for business presentations, web conferencing, and dual-monitor setups via HDMI and Thunderbolt 3.

Cosmetic Condition Guide

Excellent Grade: Minimal signs of previous use with possible minor marks on the base or lid that don't affect functionality—looks nearly new and suitable for client-facing roles.
