8GB RAM — Comfortable Professional Multitasking
This variant of the refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad X270 comes with 8GB DDR4 RAM — the practical standard for modern professional use. Running Office, a video call, multiple browser tabs and background applications simultaneously all remain fluid throughout the day. 8GB ensures the X270 stays responsive under the kind of multitasking typical in a professional working day.
USB-C, PowerBridge and MIL-STD-810G
The X270 introduced USB-C to the X-series — supporting charging, DisplayPort output and USB 3.1 data transfer. PowerBridge provides a hot-swappable external battery so you never need to shut down to extend working time. The chassis passed MIL-STD-810G military tests covering vibration, shock, dust, humidity and temperature extremes. At 1.27kg starting weight, the X270 is one of the lightest 12.5-inch laptops with a full port selection including HDMI, Ethernet and USB-C.
ThinkPad Keyboard and TrackPoint
The backlit, spill-resistant keyboard delivers the deep key travel and tactile feedback the X-series is renowned for. Despite the compact 12.5-inch format the keyboard is full-size with no compromise on key spacing. The red TrackPoint nub provides precise cursor control without leaving the keyboard.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it have MicroSD or standard SD? MicroSD — standard SD cards require an adapter.
What does the USB-C port support? Charging, DisplayPort output and USB 3.1 Gen 1 data transfer. Note: the X270 USB-C is not Thunderbolt 3. For Thunderbolt 3 see our ThinkPad X280.
How does the 8GB compare to the 4GB version? Both have the same processor and SSD. The 8GB handles heavier multitasking more comfortably. See our 4GB X270 for comparison.
