Lenovo ThinkPad T470 Repair

The ThinkPad T470 is the 2017 model in Lenovo’s “T4xx” series of 14-inch ThinkPad laptops. The T470 includes a revised, slimmer case design with features common to ThinkPads including a trackpoint, lots of customization options, and a swappable battery. The laptop uses 6th- and 7th-generation Intel processors with options for a Core i3, Core i5, or Core i7 CPU. The devices use Intel’s integrated graphics or an optional Nvidia GeForce 940MX graphics card for heavier workloads.

Behind the back cover, the laptop has two slots for up to 32 GB of memory. The machine can be equipped with a 2.5-inch drive or an M.2 SSD, both of which are replaceable. The wireless card is also accessible along with the optional WWAN cellular card. To complement this, the machine has an optional micro-SIM slot inside the bottom battery compartment.

You can identify this laptop by looking for the word “T470“ just below the right edge of the screen. You can find the serial number on a sticker on the bottom of the device.
