The Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 460 is a workhorse. It has few unusual features, and its performance neither surprised nor disappointed us, but the laptop is both versatile and sturdy. We’d expect this beast to weather hectic workdays and business-travel misadventures for years.

Few laptops can match the utility of the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 460. With a solid stylus, the quality 360-degree display hinge and a durable build, the Yoga 460 is the jack knife of business laptops. Add in the useful software and tactical keyboard and you have an excellent 2-in-1 that can adapt to nearly any situation. However, if you’re willing to spend a bit more you could opt for the Lenovo’s X1 Carbon or Apple MacBook Pro. Both offer more powerful specifications with stronger graphical performance and are considerably lighter.

The Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 460 is a business 2-in-1 that offers great utility: an accurate stylus and a versatile chassis that's good for presentations, productivity and a bit of entertainment. Unfortunately, the Yoga 460's keyboard, while decent, isn't as good as what you'd find on other ThinkPads. Its screen is a bit dull and the notebook underperformed compared with other laptops with similar specs.

Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 460 review – a mobile and durable hybrid
Source: Laptop Media English Archive.org version
Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 460 turned out a bargain, because of the capacity it offers, as well as the durability that “guards” the hybrid. You can enjoy your favourite photos or movies in each of the four modes (laptop, tent, stand and tablet) without the threat of poor image quality – all this is thanks to the IPS panel. The lack of PWM in almost all brightness levels and all levels considered as normal for work is very good news, as it is expected of you to spend a good deal of your time in front of the screen. In this way you can be sure that your eyes will be a tiny bit better-protected.

Comment

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.


Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Intel HD Graphics 520: Integrated GPU (GT2) with 24 EUs found on some Skylake CPU models (15 W ULV series).

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Intel Core i5:

6200U: Skylake-based ULV dual-core processor for thin notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 520 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.

14.00:

14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact. 

In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.

70.53%: 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.
