1

Fan louvers

The internal fan and louvers enable air to circulate in the computer and cool the central processor.

Note: To avoid impeding airflow, do not place any obstacle in front of the fan.

2

Integrated battery

Use your computer with the battery power whenever ac power is unavailable.

Hard disk drive or solid-state drive

Depending on models, your computer might have a large-capacity, customer-upgradable hard disk drive that can meet a variety of storage demands.

Some models are equipped with a solid-state drive for data storage, making your computer lighter, smaller, and faster.

Note: The hidden service partition is the reason why there is less free space than expected on your hard disk drive or solid-state drive. This reduction is more noticeable on the solid-state drive because of its smaller capacity.

Status indicators

The status indicators show the current status of your computer.

System status indicators

The illuminated dot in the ThinkPad logo on the outer lid of your computer and on the palm rest works as a system status indicator.
