Lenovo ThinkPad L470 · Intel Core i5 (6th Gen) · 14" HD · 8 GB / 256 GB SSD

Here's a ThinkPad L-series that has already proven itself in a corporate fleet, now tested and ready for its second life with you. The L-series is the practical ThinkPad — built to the same durability standards as the T-series, but aimed at companies that buy hundreds at a time and want value. Less flash, same reliability. The L470 is one of the most common value ThinkPads — easy to service, with good battery life.

The Core i5 is the sweet spot for most people — quick enough for multitasking, Office, coding and online classes, without the extra cost of an i7. Sixth-generation Intel brought faster DDR4 memory support, and with an SSD this machine feels quick for everyday work and multitasking. With 8 GB of memory, switching between Chrome, Word and Zoom stays smooth. The 256 GB SSD means it boots in seconds and apps open quickly. The 14-inch HD screen is fine for documents, browsing and video.

Build and everyday use

A little thicker and heavier than a T-series (around 1.7 kg), with plenty of ports so you're not living on dongles. Comfortable ThinkPad keyboard, often with TrackPoint. It comes with genuine Windows 11 Pro installed and activated.

Upgrades

Two RAM slots and easy access to the drive on most L models — cheap to upgrade later.

Who it suits

Office staff, students, and families who want one solid laptop for everyone. It sits in our picks for students, schools, small businesses.
