Lenovo IdeaPad V460

        

        

        

       Lenovo’s ThinkPad line is famous for its award winning business notebooks. But what if you consider the ThinkPad design even the relatively flashy new ThinkPad Edge to be too tam. Lenovo has you covered with its small business oriented IdeaPad V460, which features a speedy Core i5 CPU and switchable graphics, all encased in an attractive brushed metal chassis. This laptop offers strong performance in a sleek, lightweight package. However, drawbacks such as short battery life and narrow viewing angles hold the notebook back.

      The IdeaPad V460 has a stylish professional look which is at home in nearly any environment. The chassis and lid are covered in finely brushed aluminum, which not only feels great, but adds strength. The V460 weighs in at 4.85 lbs, which is slightly more than usual for a 14-inch notebook. The chassis is relatively thin with an average height of about one inch. The V460's build quality is above average for its price range. Grabbing the two front corners of the chassis and twisting produces minimal flex. The chassis surface is rigid and does not bend under pressure thanks to the aluminum.
