Certified Refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad T460s Business Laptop
The Certified Refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad T460s features an Intel Core i5-6200U processor (6th Generation), 4GB DDR4 RAM, 128GB M.2 SSD storage, and a 14-inch Full HD (1920x1080) IPS display. This professionally restored business ultrabook delivers enterprise-grade reliability in a lightweight design weighing just 1.36kg, because it combines MIL-STD-810G military-tested durability with ultra-portable form factor—which means professionals can work confidently anywhere. During a typical workday, you can run Microsoft Office, web browsers with multiple tabs, email clients, and video conferencing simultaneously without performance bottlenecks, making this ideal for business users who prioritise mobility without compromising on build quality.
Ideal For
This certified refurbished device is perfect for:
- Mobile business professionals managing documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and video calls across multiple locations with enterprise security requirements
- Remote workers and consultants needing reliable connectivity through dual-band Wi-Fi AC and Bluetooth 4.1, plus comprehensive port selection including Ethernet, USB 3.0, HDMI, and Mini DisplayPort for flexible workspace setups
- Small business owners and startups seeking cost-effective computing with Windows 10 Professional features like domain join, BitLocker encryption, and remote desktop capabilities
- Students and educators handling research with 15+ browser tabs, document editing, online lectures, and collaborative tools simultaneously without system slowdowns
Key Features & Benefits
- Intel Core i5-6200U Processor: Dual-core CPU running at 2.3GHz base frequency with Turbo Boost up to 2.8GHz handles office productivity suites efficiently—the 15W ultra-low power design means cooler operation and quieter fan noise compared to standard voltage processors
- 128GB M.2 SSD Storage: Loads Windows 10 Pro in approximately 12 seconds versus 45+ seconds for traditional hard drives, eliminating the most common performance bottleneck in everyday computing tasks like application launches and file transfers
- Full HD IPS Display: The 14-inch 1920x1080 anti-glare screen with 160-degree viewing angles delivers sharp text rendering for extended document work, whilst the IPS panel ensures consistent colour accuracy when presenting to clients from different viewing positions
- Military-Grade Durability: MIL-STD-810G certification means this laptop has passed rigorous testing for temperature extremes, vibration, humidity, and physical shock—increasingly important for professionals working in varied environments beyond traditional offices
- Expandable Memory: The 4GB soldered RAM can be expanded up to 20GB total through the available DDR4 SO-DIMM socket, providing an upgrade path for users whose workloads grow over time
- Comprehensive Connectivity: Three USB 3.0 ports (one with Always On charging), Mini DisplayPort, HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, and 4-in-1 SD card reader accommodate peripherals, external displays, and legacy equipment without requiring adapters
- ThinkPad UltraNav: The legendary TrackPoint pointing device combined with precision touchpad offers dual input methods preferred by touch-typists who value keeping hands on the keyboard home row
- Enterprise Security Features: TPM 1.2 security chip, power-on password protection, hard disk encryption support, and optional fingerprint reader provide layered security appropriate for sensitive business data
Common Questions
Can it handle video calls whilst multitasking?
Yes, the i5-6200U processor and 4GB RAM handle Microsoft Teams or Zoom calls alongside typical office applications smoothly. The integrated 720p HD webcam and dual-array microphone deliver clear audio-visual quality for professional video conferencing, though our technicians recommend closing unnecessary background applications during calls to optimise performance with the 4GB RAM configuration.
How does this compare to newer budget laptops?
After testing 500+ refurbished units, this 2016-era configuration offers better build quality and keyboard experience than many contemporary budget laptops under $600. The carbon-fibre reinforced display cover and magnesium alloy bottom case provide superior durability, whilst the Full HD IPS display outperforms TN panels found in entry-level new devices. However, newer budget laptops may include faster Wi-Fi 6 and longer software support timelines.
Is the 128GB storage sufficient?
The 128GB capacity suits users who primarily work with cloud storage services like OneDrive, Google Drive, or Dropbox for document management. With Windows 10 Pro occupying approximately 30GB, you have 90-95GB available for applications and local files. Users managing large media libraries or extensive local data archives should consider external storage or cloud solutions.

Our technicians routinely test ThinkPad T460s units under typical office workloads including Microsoft Office 2019, Google Chrome with 10-15 tabs, Outlook email, and video conferencing applications. The Intel Core i5-6200U performs similarly to Intel's 8th-generation Pentium processors in single-threaded tasks, whilst the 4GB RAM configuration comfortably handles moderate multitasking—though users planning to run virtual machines or intensive browser workloads benefit from upgrading to 12GB or 20GB RAM. The integrated Intel HD Graphics 520 handles 1080p video playback smoothly and supports business graphics tasks, though modern gaming requires low quality settings. In our experience, the 128GB SSD delivers responsive system performance with boot times under 15 seconds, making this configuration ideal for professionals prioritising portability and reliability over maximum processing power.
Operating System: Windows 10 Professional
Pros: Windows 10 Pro provides enterprise-grade security with BitLocker encryption, domain join capabilities for corporate networks, remote desktop functionality, and Group Policy management—receiving security updates through October 2025 ensures ongoing protection for business environments. The operating system offers broad software compatibility spanning legacy applications through modern cloud services. Cons: Windows 10 reaches end-of-support in October 2025, which means users should plan migration strategies to Windows 11 (dependent on TPM chip configuration) or alternative solutions. The operating system requires periodic updates consuming storage space and occasional restarts for maintenance.
Cosmetic Condition Guide

The display remains free from noticeable marks when powered on. The chassis retains structural integrity with no dents or damage. Keyboards show even wear across keys with legible labelling.
