Refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad T460s — Slim 14-Inch Business Laptop at 1.36kg
The refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad T460s is the slim-and-light edition of Lenovo’s flagship T-series — a 14-inch business laptop that weighs just 1.36kg while keeping the full-size ThinkPad keyboard, solid port selection and MIL-STD-810G build quality that professionals rely on. The “s” suffix stands for slim: Lenovo used a carbon-fibre reinforced lid and magnesium alloy body to reduce weight significantly over the standard T460, without compromising structural rigidity or port availability. Powered by an Intel Core i5-6300U 6th Generation processor, 8GB DDR4 RAM and a 256GB SSD, the refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad T460s delivers excellent everyday business performance in one of the most portable packages in the ThinkPad catalogue.

MIL-STD-810G Certified — Carbon Fibre and Magnesium Build
The refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad T460s passed MIL-STD-810G durability tests covering extreme temperatures, high altitudes, humidity and vibration. The carbon-fibre reinforced lid resists flex and impact, while the magnesium alloy chassis provides structural rigidity that consumer ultrabooks made from plastic or thin aluminium cannot match. According to NotebookCheck’s independent review, the T460s is rated highly for build quality, keyboard and its balance of portability with full business connectivity.
Slim and Light Without Sacrificing Ports
Unlike consumer ultrabooks that trade ports for thinness, the T460s maintains a full practical port set — three USB 3.0 ports, HDMI, Mini DisplayPort, wired Gigabit Ethernet, 4-in-1 SD card reader and a dock connector. You can connect to external monitors, wired networks, USB peripherals and a ThinkPad docking station without needing a hub or adapter. At 1.36kg this is genuinely light enough to carry daily without the compromise that usually comes with a slim chassis.
ThinkPad Keyboard and TrackPoint
The T460s carries Lenovo’s full-size ThinkPad keyboard — deep key travel, firm tactile feedback and a layout that professionals consistently rate among the best on any laptop. The red TrackPoint nub provides precise cursor control without leaving the keyboard. Combined with the slim, lightweight chassis, the refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad T460s is a compelling choice for high-volume typists who also need portability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the T460s have USB-C? No — the T460s has three USB 3.0 ports, HDMI, Mini DisplayPort and a dock connector, but does not include a USB-C port. If USB-C is essential, see our ThinkPad T470 which includes USB-C.
Does it support a docking station? Yes — the T460s has a proprietary dock connector compatible with Lenovo ThinkPad docking stations, allowing connection to multiple monitors and peripherals at a desk.
How light is 1.36kg in practice? It is noticeably lighter than a standard 14-inch ThinkPad (T460 weighs ~1.9kg). Combined with its slim profile it is comfortable to carry in a bag all day.
Is 8GB RAM enough for professional use? For all standard business tasks — Office, email, video calls, research and multitasking — 8GB handles daily workloads comfortably. For more demanding workloads consider our ThinkPad T470 with up to 16GB RAM.
