ThinkPad T470 for mobile professionals
The Lenovo ThinkPad T470 is a 14.0 inch HD laptop built around an Intel Core i5-7300U dual-core processor with a turbo frequency of 3.50 GHz. It ships with 8GB DDR4 memory and a new 500GB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD. Windows 10 Home 64-bit is pre-installed. The non-touch display resolves at 1366 x 768 and uses Intel HD Graphics 620. This configuration suits office work, web browsing and remote sessions on the move.
Upgrade from slower storage or less memory
Replacing a mechanical hard drive with the included NVMe SSD cuts boot and application load times dramatically. Moving from 4GB to the fitted 8GB DDR4 removes the most common bottleneck in everyday multitasking. The board accepts two memory slots and supports up to 32 GB total, so a later DIMM addition is straightforward when workloads grow beyond the factory amount.
500GB NVMe capacity for core workloads
The 500GB drive holds the operating system, productivity suite and a large document library with room to spare. Large media collections, virtual-machine images or raw photo archives will exhaust the space quickly. Intel HD Graphics 620 handles desktop composition and video playback but cannot drive modern 3D titles or GPU-accelerated render pipelines at acceptable frame rates.

Questions about this item
What size M.2 SSD slot does the ThinkPad T470 use for the 500GB NVMe drive?
It uses a standard M.2 slot that accepts the 500GB NVMe PCIe SSD already installed.
Which screw or latch secures the bottom cover when upgrading the 8GB DDR4 memory?
Remove the base screws, lift the cover carefully, then press the DDR4 module into the open slot until it clicks.
When should the 500GB M.2 NVMe SSD be replaced to keep Windows 10 Home running smoothly?
Replace the SSD if SMART tools report reallocated sectors or if sustained write speeds drop noticeably.
