Is this the right laptop for your work?
Budget business fleets
A 14-inch ThinkPad with onboard Ethernet, a spill-resistant keyboard and two removable RAM slots covers office work, training rooms and front-desk roles at a low per-seat cost. Confirm the panel (HD vs FHD) before rollout.
Repairable and upgradeable units
Two SO-DIMM slots (to 32 GB documented), a single tool-accessible 2.5-inch bay and a removable battery design make this one of the easier modern laptops to maintain — request the actual slot/drive layout in the quotation.
Short-term rentals and events
Full ports without dongles and a 1.87 kg chassis suit temporary desks and event kits. As a 2016-era platform it fits short deployments better than long ones — request per-unit battery health.
Processor & graphics
The reference configuration pairs a 7th Gen Intel Core i5 with integrated HD Graphics 620. Some factory SKUs add an NVIDIA GeForce 920MX or 940MX 2 GB discrete GPU.
