Camera quality is perfectly adequate for one-on-one or one-to-many webcasts over Skype for Business or other services. Dual-array microphones are situated next to the camera, and they feature noise reduction for web conferences and the like.

The T470 comes with a one-year warranty.Ī 720p webcam is centered above the screen, right where you'd expect it. Having 220 nits is adequate for office documents, but you'd want one of the latter two notebooks if you're going to be viewing photos and videos critically, or using the laptop outdoors.

The full HD (1,920-by-1,080) resolution IPS display has enough room to work, but is only rated for 220 nits, identical to the Dell Latitseries, but far dimmer than the MacBook Pro's 2,560-by-1,600 resolution screen (500 nits) or the Dell XPS 13 Touch's ($799.99 at Dell) 3,200-by-1,800 resolution display (400 nits). Likewise, the anti-glare coating on the non-touch 14-inch screen quelled reflections from the room, but dimmed colors. They sounded fine while watching lectures on YouTube, for example, but the instant I played the trailers for movies like Doctor Strange and The Avengers, background sound effects and music muddled the voices and were a detriment to clarity. They provide enough volume to fill a small room, but are tuned for voice rather than music or layered sounds from videos. The system's speakers are under the base, pointed out from the front of the laptop. The fingerprint reader that sits to the right of the keyboard works with Windows Hello, and can be integrated into your company's security policies for one-touch logins to your accounts.

The touchpad uses Microsoft's TouchPad technology, so Windows 10 updates its drivers automatically, simplifying support. It has an embedded TrackPoint pointing stick for ThinkPad vets, and a one-piece touchpad below three physical mouse buttons. While still good, the keyboards on the HP EliteBook 1040 G3 and the Dell Latitseries are like flying business class to the ThinkPad's first class. Typing for several hours at a time is no problem on the T470, a trait it shares with the X1 Carbon, the ThinkPad T470s ($1,099.00 at Lenovo), and virtually every other ThinkPad over the past few years. After using the shallow keyboard on the Apple MacBook Pro, the T470 is almost luxurious. The backlit keyboard is spill resistant, and each scalloped key has a comfortable amount of travel. This wide selection of ports is a lot more convenient than the ports on the MacBook Pro, which require clunky adapters for USB Type-A, HDMI, or Ethernet connectivity. On the right, you'll find an Ethernet port, an HDMI jack, a headset jack, a Kensington lock port, an SD card reader, and two more USB 3.0 ports. However, it also has a traditional USB 3.0 port and the ThinkPad AC adapter connector on the left side of the laptop.

Lenovo also adds a single USB-C port with Thunderbolt 3 technology, compared with the minimum two on the Apple MacBook Pro 13-Inch. IT teams will like a new feature built into the chassis: Removing the keyboard and gaining access to the motherboard is now a simple matter of undoing two screws, rather than the multiple screws and case tabs of last year's model. You'll have no problem sliding the T470 into any laptop bag designed for 15-inch or smaller laptops. While not the lightest or the thinnest laptop, it's only a smidge larger and heavier than rivals like the Dell Latitseries (5480) (769.00 Starting Configuration at Dell Technologies), the Lenovo ThinkPad T470s, and the HP EliteBook 1040 G3. Substituting in the six-cell extended battery increases the weight slightly, to 4.15 pounds.

The T470 measures 0.79 by 13.25 by 9.15 inches (HWD) and weighs 3.74 pounds with its standard three-cell battery. The matte charcoal gray exterior has a soft-touch surface, and the red eraser-shaped TrackPoint controller is right where you would expect it, in the middle of the comfortable keyboard. Any way you look at it, the T470 is the laptop you should get for your workforce, supplanting the pricier C-level Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon as our latest top pick for business laptops.

Add $15, and you can substitute in an extended battery that will let you use the system for more than 17 hours. In return, you get a mainstream business laptop with 16GB of RAM, a full HD glare-resistant screen, a speedy PCIe-based 256GB SSD, Windows 10 Pro, and one of the best backlit keyboards on a laptop. The Lenovo ThinkPad T470 starts at a reasonable $783 for a base model, but the $1,383.20 model I tested is well worth the price of the upgrades.
