Questions about this item
How is the 1TB SSD installed in the T470s, and what step do people get wrong?
The SSD fits in the internal M.2 slot; the common mistake is forgetting to remove the battery connector before opening the case.
What maintenance will the 12GB DDR4 memory and 1TB SSD need later?
The memory is soldered and not upgradeable; the SSD can be replaced with another M.2 drive if capacity or speed becomes an issue.
What limit appears first on the i5-6300U during sustained loads?
The dual-core CPU reaches its 3.0GHz turbo ceiling and thermal throttling cuts clocks before the 40Gbps Thunderbolt link saturates.
