I'd like to upgrade my T570 cpu from th i5-6300u to something faster...possibly more cores...but mainly with better integrated graphics. Can anyone give some suggestions?

You can't The T570 has a soldered CPU so you are stuck with the i5 unless you upgrade your whole laptop.

Also, idk if this matters or not but this is a variant I cant seem to find much information about...its a T570...but it doesnt have the fingerprint sensor

It's a business laptop, it's not really meant for gaming. That said, the integrated Intel graphics are more than capable of playing low demand games.

The fingerprint sensor is optional on all Thinkpad models, as are most options if you decide to do a custom build.

Yeah I realize that lol hence the desire for better graphics...it is what it is...my girl and I play 7 Days to Die when I'm not at home and with alpha 19 just dropping was hoping not to have to down scale the game to 720p with low settings lol

Yeah, you'd have to upgrade to one of the new Ryzen ThinkPads for that. The only 15" ones with Renoir are the E15 and L15. The T15 is Intel only.

Hi I’m reviving this thread: I have a T570 that’s painfully slow and has a horrible display. Is there any way to upgrade the display and/or other innards on these machines for someone whose not an expert?
