Where can I find specs on a T420s 4174-F68
Where can I find specs on a T420s 4174-F68
I can't find specs on this particular model: T420s 4174-F68. I tried Google and Lenovo's Support and Fora. No hits. Suggestions?
I have been offered this model with Intel Core i5 2.5 MHz CPU and Intel HD3000 Graphics, 320 GB HDD, 6 GB RAM and Win-7 Pro. It supposedly came of a business lease as a spare laptop. I'm interested in the T420s because of the classic keyboard, ports and Win-7 (don't want Win-10), but is it worth it?
Thanks for swift reply as I have a 24 hours hold/reservation only.

Re: Where can I find specs on a T420s 4174-F68
Thanks! That was indeed fast and helpful. Is this still worth $250 .. and are the above specs halfway okay even today?axur-delmeria wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 12:37 pmAccording to http://thinkpadder-id.com/mtm/

Google for: lenovo t420s specs and find this: Detailed specifications - ThinkPad T420s - Lenovo Support
Replace t420s with any other model.

Re: Where can I find specs on a T420s 4174-F68
Mine has similar specs but came with 4 GB RAM via ebay and by a listing by one of the refurb vendors. Very fine condition as received. About a year ago and the price was about $170. I have since upgraded it with 500 GB ssd and 16 GB RAM (in spite of the max 8 GB spec, it will take 16 GB).
Re: Where can I find specs on a T420s 4174-F68
Thanks. I had found that page too .. but it's a bit "generic" imo and does not give the tech-specs details of model/type 4174-F68.RealBlackStuff wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 1:10 pmGoogle for: lenovo t420s specs and find this: Detailed specifications - ThinkPad T420s - Lenovo Support

Re: Where can I find specs on a T420s 4174-F68
Thanks! Good to know. Your price sounds pretty good but it's hard to compare w/o the 4174-F68 model specs. Are you okay with the Intel HD 3000 Graphics and the non-IPS display? I did find the screen on this T420s to be a bit dull compared to my wife's T430s with Intel/Nvidia graphics.jwjensen356 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 1:20 pmMine has similar specs but came with 4 GB RAM via ebay and by a listing by one of the refurb vendors.

Re: Where can I find specs on a T420s 4174-F68
The good things going for it are the 6GB RAM and 1600x900 screen. Besides that, it's average specs-wise, nothing fancy.
Then again, not having nVidia graphics means lower CPU temps (always a good thing).
An SSD upgrade, whether as a replacement for the HDD, or as an add-on mSATA SSD,is highly recommended.
I can't comment on the price, as the average price varies per country.

Re: Where can I find specs on a T420s 4174-F68
Thanks! Learning a bit more by every posting. Just wish I had a spec leaflet listing all the models by type number (like 4174-F68).axur-delmeria wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 2:04 pmThe good things going for it are the 6GB RAM and 1600x900 screen.

Re: Where can I find specs on a T420s 4174-F68
Mine has the 1600x900 screen. I'm very satisfied with it.
Re: Where can I find specs on a T420s 4174-F68
Can you turn over your T420s and get the model number on the bottom. Then check and report back the basic specs by using http://thinkpadder-id.com/mtm/jwjensen356 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 22, 2018 3:29 pmMine has the 1600x900 screen. I'm very satisfied with it.

Re: Where can I find specs on a T420s 4174-F68
4174-29U I'll let you check for the specs.
Re: Where can I find specs on a T420s 4174-F68
I did and as I said before the result is pretty generic. And probably incorrect, as your model specs show no wireless, which I gather you have. Other than that, except for the fingerprint reader, it looks similar. Thanks.

Re: Where can I find specs on a T420s 4174-F68
I found this link with detailed tech-specs (presumably correct) for your 4174-29U:
https://www.cnet.com/products/lenovo-th ... d-417429u/
That's the kind of details I'm looking for (for model 4174-F68), but haven't found so far. Still looking. Any suggestions?

Re: Where can I find specs on a T420s 4174-F68
Thanks for the link. No, no suggestions. Interesting price (at the time).
Re: Where can I find specs on a T420s 4174-F68
The following FYI only. I did find reference data on the T420s here:
http://psref.lenovo.com/
http://psref.lenovo.com/WithdrawnBook
You have to navigate to the correct PDF (note that type numbers differ for West Europe). The US version of T420s is part of:
http://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF ... k_2013.pdf
Interestingly enough, type 4174-F68 is neither part of the US nor the WE summaries. But, never mind that!

The MTM-link at the top of this page is up and running again: http://tp.krelay.de/index.php?type=4174-F68
Re: Where can I find specs on a T420s 4174-F68
Thanks. I used that link already. I'm not really looking just for type 4174-F68. The MTM-link search is good if you know what you are looking for. In my case I wanted an overview of all T420s types and that's what the links I posted do. At least to 99% it seems. And the http://psref.lenovo.com/WithdrawnBook is interesting for anyone looking for old-stuff details.RealBlackStuff wrote: ↑Sat Mar 31, 2018 7:08 amThe MTM-link at the top of this page is up and running again: http://tp.krelay.de/index.php?type=4174-F68

Interestingly enough, if I enter type 4174 only in the search window of the above link I get 3578 hits! Wow...RealBlackStuff wrote: ↑Sat Mar 31, 2018 7:08 amThe MTM-link at the top of this page is up and running again: http://tp.krelay.de/index.php?type=4174-F68
