Full set of ports: Three USB-A ports, Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C), HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet and an SD card reader – no dongles needed for most setups.

Performance in Use
The ThinkPad T470 is a workhorse for office productivity. The Core i5-7200U handles Word, Excel, Outlook, web apps and Teams or Zoom calls without drama, and 8GB of DDR4 memory is enough to keep a handful of applications and browser tabs open while you work. The 240GB SSD keeps boot times short and applications quick to open.
The 14-inch Full HD screen is a real step up from the 1366x768 panels found on many budget laptops – you can fit two documents side by side and read small text comfortably. At a desk, connect an external monitor via HDMI or the Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C port, plug into wired Ethernet and use the three USB-A ports for a keyboard, mouse and storage.
The T470 uses Lenovo’s Power Bridge design, with an internal battery plus a removable rear battery, and the classic ThinkPad keyboard is comfortable for long typing sessions. It is a sensible choice for students, remote workers and businesses that want a proven, repairable laptop.
