The Lenovo ThinkPad E570 measures 379 mm x 261 mm x 24 mm. It’s slightly slimmer than the previous ThinkPad E series. It features a USB 3.0 port and an HDMI port, while retaining the traditional VGA port, which is especially beneficial for users like me who frequently use VGA projection. These days, most thin and light laptops have ditched the VGA port. You’ll need to buy a VGA conversion adapter.
The ThinkPad E570 not only features an Nvidia GeForce GTX 950M graphics card with 2GB of GDDR5 memory, but also comes with the latest 7th-generation Core processor and includes a 128GB SSD and a 1TB mechanical hard drive.
It is worth mentioning that this laptop comes with a high-definition anti-glare screen with true-to-life colors. People who work for long hours will not feel fatigued, and it fully meets the needs of business office work.
