The Lenovo ThinkPad E570 measures 379 mm x 261 mm x 24 mm. It’s slightly slimmer than the previous ThinkPad E series. It has a USB 3.0 and an HDMI port while not ditching the traditional VGA port, which is especially sweet for users like me who often 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 comes with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 950M graphics card and GDDR5 2GB of video memory but also uses the latest 7th-generation Core processors and a 128GB SSD + 1TB combo drive for storage.
It is also worth mentioning that the laptop has a high-definition anti-glare screen with pure color. People who work long hours do not get tired and do not deviate from the requirements of a business office.
