Lenovo Thinkpad T460 14-Inch Laptop (Intel Core I5-6300U Dual-Core 2.4Ghz, 8Gb Ddr3, 256Gb Ssd, Windows 7 Professional)

Product Information

While the Thinkpad has an exceptional keyboard, the overall performance of the machine is just about good enough. There is an Intel Core i5-6200U processor, which is a widely used processor, combined with 8GB of RAM. The silicon is not the problem here. My qualm lies with the HDD storage, which occasionally hit 100% usage during testing, making the laptop freeze. At first, I thought it was a hardware issue that may have occurred due to those numerous drop tests I did previously. Although after ascertaining via various software that the HDD was healthy, I rested the PC, which resolved the issue. That said, the single HDD storage is still slow and at its price the T460 should have included an SSD based storage as standard. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21.8 ms). ThinkPad T580 Platform Specifications" (PDF). Lenovo.com.

So, on the test, the Lenovo T460 recorded a read speed of 458.9 MBps and a write speed of 394.4 MBps.

Due to the materials used to make its chassis, the Lenovo T460 feels sturdy and has a rugged look. As a matter of fact, the laptop passed various MIL-STD 810Gtests. Thus, the Lenovo T460 with the FHD display option is best for usage in well-lit areas compared to the HD display option. Nonetheless, with either resolution option, the laptop’s display features an anti-glare coating.

The ThinkPad T460s offers a strong combination of performance, usability and portability, thanks to its svelte chassis, accurate screen and comfortable touchpad.

It does not need much cooling in view of the low TDP anyway. Even when the system cooling guideline is enabled, it remains silent in idle mode and during sporadic, moderate load. It takes over 20 seconds before the fan makes itself clearly noticeable by speeding up for a short while. This indicates good passive cooling. Lenovo ThinkPad T540 Notebook Specifications" (PDF).

It also has the same dimensions and is just as heavy. With a height of 21 mm (~0.83 in), it is roughly 2 mm (~0.08 in) taller than the other rivals in the test. Just like Dell's E7470, it weighs slightly over 1.7 kg (~3.7 lb) and, compared with the more expensive T460s in particular that weighs only 1.37 kg (~3 lb), it is not precisely light.
