Lenovo ThinkPad T460s Intel Core i5 Ram 8GB Storage256GB

The ThinkPad T460s, with its 6th-generation Intel Core i5-6300U (a dual-core, quad-thread processor), remains a functional machine for everyday office and light productivity tasks.

• Daily Tasks: For basic tasks like web browsing (with a moderate number of tabs), using Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), and email, the T460s offers a smooth and responsive experience, especially when paired with an SSD and sufficient RAM.
• Video Conferencing & Multitasking: It handles video conferencing applications (like Teams or Zoom) adequately. However, these applications can be CPU and RAM intensive, and heavy multitasking (e.g., several demanding applications open simultaneously) may cause the dual-core CPU to show its age, potentially leading to noticeable slowdowns compared to modern quad-core or higher processors.
• Thermal Management: The T460s generally features good thermal design, and the fan noise is manageable under typical workloads.

 Upgrade Potential: RAM and Storage

One of the T460s’s strongest points is its relative ease of internal upgrade, which significantly extends its usable lifespan and enhances performance.

• RAM (Memory): The laptop features a mixed memory configuration:
  • It has either 4GB or 8GB of DDR4 RAM soldered directly onto the motherboard.
  • It includes one open SO-DIMM slot for user-upgradable RAM.
  • By adding a 16GB DDR4-2133MHz stick to the open slot, you can reach a maximum total capacity of 20GB or 24GB. This is a highly recommended upgrade for modern multitasking and is easily accessible after removing the bottom cover.
• Storage (SSD): The T460s supports a single M.2 2280 drive (the standard stick-style SSD).
  • Crucially, this slot often supports PCIe NVMe SSDs, which offer significantly faster read/write speeds than older SATA III SSDs. Upgrading to a modern, high-capacity NVMe drive (like 500GB or 1TB) is the single most impactful performance upgrade for system responsiveness.
  • The internal design makes SSD replacement quite straightforward, typically requiring the removal of just a single screw holding the drive in place.
