We have just finished testing our new Lenovo G460 notebook which we received early this morning. We are very happy with the results and would like to share them with you, our readers. We know you are interested in all the latest laptops and perhaps even seek to compare them with your own laptop. We are here to provide you accurate information based entirely on thorough testing. So let’s start with our first impressions after receiving the laptop. After opening the box, we found a small yet stylish notebook that didn’t look anything like the powerful beast we were expecting. Its elegant lines and small display don’t give it the appearance of a powerful and agile laptop. However, things are usually not as they look like.
We started by testing the component where everything starts, the central processing unit. The Lenovo G460 comes with a very potent Intel Core i3 350M processor running at a high speed of 2.26 GHz. Its versatility is enhanced by the large, 1066 MHz front side bus (FSB) and the 3 MB L2 cache. We were not very surprised when this processor passed all our tests without encountering any difficulties. Even our most resource intensive tests were passed immediately. This leaves us no option but to happily give the Lenovo G460 its first 10 out of 10 points.
Next it was time to test the memory. We did notice that the Lenovo G460 passed the first test faster than most of its competitors, but didn’t understand why. Well, until we took a look at its memory. 4 GB of PC3 8500 DDR3 random access memory (RAM) made even the hardest tests look easy for this agile and super-quick notebook. Its 1066 MHz frequency convinced us to give out the second 10 out of 10 rating. And just when we were having so much fun, the laptop disappointed us with its slow hard disk drive. Spinning at just 5400 rotations per minute, the 500 GB HDD is large enough to accommodate all your files, but slow enough to impact the overall performance of our new laptop. We are forced to give it just 8 out of 10 points for this.
Lenovo G460′s Intel HD Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is a highly versatile video card. However, it is forced to output a maximum resolution of just 1366 x 768 on the notebook’s 14.0 inch WXGA display. However, it benefits from the LED Backlight TFT technology, compelling us to give a 9 out of 10 rating here.
The Lenovo G460 is a very versatile laptop capable of passing even the most exigent of tests due to its powerful processing unit and high speed RAM. However, like in many Lenovo notebooks, the slow hard drive and low resolution display are clear issues.
