Lenovo V460 Review

Lenovo V460 Review

The IdeaPad V460 combines very good appears and very good standard performance with subpar battery life.Business notebooks aren't whatsoever occasions affordable -- Lenovo aims to alter that with its V-series IdeaPad. nowadays we appear on the V460, which carries a 14-inch display, Intel main i5 processor and arrives in below $800.

The IdeaPad V460 is founded to appeal to prosumer and small-business purchasers who want much more panache and standard performance compared to lower-end IdeaPad designs provide but who do not contact for (or desire to spend for) the corporate-focused attributes belonging for the ThinkPad line. Of course, that is a comparable topic occupied from the Lenovo's ThinkPad borders collection (like the ThinkPad borders 14 we recently tested), but we think the IdeaPad V460 does a a terrific offer better duty at scratching that itch. The brushed-aluminum, gunmetal-gray lid (reminiscent belonging for the HP ProBook and Apple MacBook) appears sharper compared to ThinkPad Edge's matte-plastic finish, as well as the IdeaPad V460 may maybe be considered a a terrific offer better performer. 

Weighing just 4.9 pounds and measuring just greater than an inch thick, the IdeaPad V460 is lighter and thinner than one of our Editors' option winners on this class, the Asus U30Jc-A1, as well as the Asus has only a 13.3-inch screen, not only a 14-inch display such as the IdeaPad V460 has. as well as although we are near to the issue of screens: The Lenovo's fluid crystal display is excellent. The LED backlighting belonging for the panel can certainly help provide rich, vibrant colors, as well as the glossy display tends to make specific they pop. The panel carries a native resolution of 1,366x768 and delivers crisp, legible text, as well as film that appears terrific. The accompanying seem isn't bad, either; the 1.5-watt stereo speakers provide much more punch as well as a terrific offer better bass response than individuals in most other laptops on this worth class, although for music playback we would choose still-richer seem acquiring a little much more depth.

Lenovo's IdeaPad collection persists to take advantage of a conventional keyboard instead belonging for the "Chiclet" Apple MacBook-style types, that is by no suggests a bad thing. The V460's full-size keyboard carries a superb really feel and, near to the whole, provides a wonderful typing experience. The keys have just the best suited amount of travel; essential positions (fully up/down or in-between) are defined well. The keyboard has practically no flex.

The V460 carries a 14-inch show acquiring a glossy surface area and LED backlighting. the conventional exceptional belonging for the display is average; it is not only a terrific offer better as well as worse than competing notebooks I attempted greater compared to previous year. Contrast is low; dark quantities are not as deep as they could be. colours are somewhat washed out; the show carries a blue-ish cast at default settings that is standard for an LED-backlit display. Brightness is satisfactory. 

It delivers extremely very good standard performance for the worth as well as a extended checklist of features. In fact, the short battery lifestyle may be the only important drawback. For $100 more, you can obtain a slightly smaller, lighter laptop computer all through the Asus U30Jc-A1, that will require to provide you with about two much more several hours of battery life. near to one other hand, using the IdeaPad V460, you obtain only a tiny much more display genuine estate and will spend less $100. We think the Asus U30Jc-A1 has the edge, however the IdeaPad V460 runs a near second.
