ThinkPad T420s 14-inch business laptop
This Lenovo ThinkPad T420s is a 14-inch business laptop built around a dual-core Intel Core i5-2540M processor running at 2.60 GHz. It comes with 4 GB of DDR3 memory and a 320 GB hard drive. Windows 7 Professional 64-bit is pre-installed. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 handles the 1366 x 768 display. A DVD±RW drive and Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000 provide optical media and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Suits mobile office work; not for modern workloads
The system suits users who need a classic ThinkPad keyboard and legacy Windows 7 compatibility for older business applications. Its dual-core processor and 4 GB memory limit multitasking and modern web browsing. Buyers who need more memory than 8 GB maximum, faster storage interfaces, current operating system support, or discrete graphics performance should look at something else. The non-touch 14.0-inch screen and integrated graphics also rule out creative colour-critical work.
Dual-core i5-2540M at 2.60 GHz decides fit
The 2nd Generation Intel Core i5-2540M dual-core processor at 2.60 GHz is the single specification that determines whether this laptop matches your workload. It defines the performance ceiling for every task from document editing to legacy software execution. If your applications require more cores, higher clocks, or newer instruction sets, this processor will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item
What does the 2.60 GHz i5-2540M deliver in daily office work?
The dual-core 2.60 GHz processor handles web browsing, document editing and light multitasking smoothly; heavier loads such as video encoding will take noticeably longer.
What does the single USB 3.0 port actually limit?
The one USB 3.0 port caps external-drive transfers to USB 3.0 speeds; the two USB 2.0 ports remain at 2.0 rates for mice, keyboards or printers.
Will the 14.0 inch 1366 x 768 panel fit a standard 14 inch laptop sleeve?
Yes, the 14.0 inch chassis matches common 14 inch sleeve dimensions; verify sleeve depth if you carry the DVD±RW drive installed.
