14" Full HD display: A 1920x1080 anti-glare screen gives sharp text and room to work on two documents side by side.
-
Full set of ports: Three USB-A ports, Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C), HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet and an SD card reader.

Performance in Use
Memory is where this ThinkPad T470 stands out. With 16GB of DDR4 installed across both SO-DIMM slots, it copes comfortably with the modern office load of a video call, a busy browser, Outlook and a large spreadsheet all running at once. The Core i5-6300U handles email, web apps, document editing and video conferencing smoothly.
The 240GB SSD keeps start-up and application launch times short. The 14-inch Full HD screen shows far more than a 1366x768 panel, making spreadsheets and side-by-side documents easy to work with. At a desk, connect an external monitor via HDMI or the Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C port, plug into wired Gigabit Ethernet, and use the three USB-A ports for peripherals.
The T470 uses Lenovo’s Power Bridge design, with an internal battery plus a removable rear battery, and the ThinkPad keyboard remains one of the most comfortable for long typing sessions. It suits students, remote workers and small businesses that want a proven laptop with more memory than usual at this level.
