Built for business use without the high price tag, Lenovo's ThinkPad L470 is a durable 14-inch laptop that can go the distance. Starting at $500. I got this laptop back in May 2018 and up to this day, i am still using it and it still looks brandy new. Although the entire body is made from glass and carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic, its pretty durable and it is very light weight. Very portable and easy to carry around. Plus its flexible, you can tilt the screen up to 180 degrees, plus i love that red light Lenovo Thinkpad Logo RedLight.

I like the fact that this laptop runs completely silent even under heavy use or even playing games. The integrated graphics does a pretty good job at gaming too although this is a business laptop. I played games such as Fifa 19, Mortal Kombat 9, NFS World Hot Pursuit 2010, Gta V, Street Fighter x Takken, COD Ghost and MW3, all the games played at 60+ fps and in some games i had to bump down to medium settings but this laptop does a decent job and if you are going to use it for business and light gaming, then you also need to buy a cooler pad for better cooling.
Mine came with extended battery so i was getting around 12hrs of batter per sing charge and this was 3 years ago and now i am getting 4-5 hrs, so the extended battery was a good investment because sometimes i would go to meeting and meet some clients without carrying my charger around. This laptop does not run hot. I would recommend this laptop for IT Students such as myself i have not had any issues with it during software development, It runs both Android studio and Visual Basic 2020 really well and smooth. I consider upgrading the RAM from 4gig to 8gig or 16gig. I personally love this laptop and i am gonna keep it, i just want to measure the time frame i will use it until it stops working and lenovo really did a good job price to performance.
