Nah not really. Its good as a workstation for light graphics and study. But I guess it has thunderbolt 3 so you could hook an external graphics card dock easily, but that would cost upwards of $500NZD+. Its a very durable and reliable laptop though. I will test out in some games, later on, stay tuned for that upcoming video in the future :). Have an awesome day! :D -YS
Mine came with Windows 11 pre-installed and it was pretty responsive/smooth. I downgraded to Windows 10 as I didn't like Windows 11 as much. I found Windows 10 to be less responsive compared to Windows 11, i.e. it would take a few seconds longer to open up windows explorer and the boot time increased by about 5-8seconds. But overall Windows 10 is still a great experience and I don't think you have to use linux unless you prefer one of the linux distro's to windows. The T470 IMO is still a very capable machine especially considering you can add an extended battery and that you can use the thunderbolt 3 with an external graphics card. Have an awesome day! :D -YS
@@beezito I don't like win 11 too :D. In my country i am unable to get T480 with significantly better CPU so i want to be sure, the T470 would be good computer for Win 10 for at least next 2-3 years. I am no longer gamer, and i have 1050 ti computer at home, so GPU is no problem for me :D Its sound like a beast although its 5 years old computer. How many RAM do you have? And you have NVMe ssd?
Quick question what laptop would you recommend gaming for?
