Reviews for the Lenovo IdeaPad V460

70% Lenovo IdeaPad V460 Review
Source: Notebookreview.com Archive.org version
The Lenovo IdeaPad V460 represents a good value in the budget business notebook market. It has great build quality, stylish looks, and a good keyboard. Overall performance is very good for everyday applications. Decent speakers were a welcome surprise. The V460's main issue is its limited battery life; it struggles past the three hour mark. Business notebooks typically have four or more. Another issue is the fan, which is noticeable when it turns on. In the V460's case, the pros outweigh the cons. This notebook is recommendable to those looking for a better quality notebook under $1,000.

Review: Lenovo IdeaPad V460 small business laptop
Source: Thinkpads.com Archive.org version

Lenovo’s IdeaPad V460 is a bit of an outcast. It’s brethren are flashy consumer laptops, while it is trying to be a serious (small) business PC. It mostly succeeds as an SMB laptop, with the more robust chassis, strong feature set, and respectable data security software. As always there are compromises, which will leave most wanting more battery life and probably a bit lower price. When comparing the V460 to its more consumer relatives like the IdeaPad Y460 we reviewed, there is no question what a small business shopper should choose. The V460 offers a small handful of features that should be the minimum for anyone with serious needs out of their laptop PC, which any other IdeaPad is notably lacking.r those cross-shopping ThinkPads against this IdeaPad, you might notice the V460 and new ThinkPad Edge models have disturbingly similar feature sets. Both have HDMI output, the standard array of ports and processor options, no hardware security chip, and only some models get a fingerprint reader. The prices are also eerily similar, though the IdeaPads tend to get more discounts than the ThinkPad Edge models.

As the consumer flavor of a business brand, IdeaPads have always seemed to have trouble finding any identity, typically settling somewhere awkward. That ends with the sleek, versatile V460, which successfully carries both the ThinkPad’s clean design and sensibility (that lovely keyboard) over to the IdeaPad marquee, with a dash of gaming performance thrown in for flavor, courtesy of the Nvidia GeForce 310M.

The Lenovo IdeaPad V460 is an attractive notebook with a comfortable keyboard, snappy graphics performance, and strong security software. Unfortunately, its weak battery life poses a significant problem for business users who need to carry their notebook around the office and especially outside of one.

Comment

NVIDIA GeForce 310M: The GeForce 310M is the successor of the GeFore G210M and based on the same chip with very similar clock rates (shader speed +30MHz to 1530MHz).

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.

68.4%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
