A great Ultrabook for business or personal use. Great improvement to the trackpad, decent improvement to the keyboard, great battery life and nice screen. You can’t go wrong with this one if this is in your price range.

As a work laptop, the ThinkPad T470s might just strike an ideal balance for many mainstream users. However, starting at $975 and for $1319 or so as tested, this is a premium ThinkPad model with a price tag to go with it. Great performance and excellent battery life are what many are looking for, followed by light weight, a decent display and ample IO connectivity options. It just so happens, the Lenovo ThinkPad T470s has it all.

The T470s comes with Windows 10 Home by default, or you can step up to Windows 10 Pro, as on our tested machine, for $30. All models come with what Microsoft calls "Windows 10 Signature Edition," a clean build of Windows with no trialware, third-party AV packages, unwanted toolbars, or other utilities. This helps speed bootup and also makes it easier for IT departments tasked with rolling out laptops to end users. The ThinkPad T470s is backed by a one-year parts-and-labor warranty with carry-in or depot service.

The ThinkPad T470s is an upgrade over the outgoing ThinkPad T460s, and a solid competitor to the Dell Latitude 14 7000 (7480). It combines a healthy mix of business-friendly features, including a good screen, first-class input devices, docking capability, and system performance to rank up high on our list of great 14-inch business class notebooks.

The Lenovo ThinkPad T470s is a thin computer with strong performance and a wonderful keyboard, but competitors offer lower weight or longer battery life.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
