The devices come new formats in the corporate sphere with a slight delay – in the first place there is need reliability and complies with safety standards, and only then innovation and experimentation. Recently, the port expanded with the new range of ThinkPad Yoga transformers, and it’s not just ultrabooks with the functional hinges in a classic design, they have unique features. Which ones? You learn from the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 460 review.
CONTENTS OF DELIVERY
The notebook Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 460 review comes in a simple cardboard box. Inside the body only hides PSU and minimum documentation. Obviously, for the products to “corporate parties” is not accepted to spend the extra trash.
DESIGN
If you put a few in a row ThinkPad, the majority will not be able to guess where what. The same is true for the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 460 review – laptop is made in a classic design: a rectangular black case, a couple of accents in red and all.
Details and differences from other models are seen only near, but they are dictated by functional necessity, not a desire to highlight the device externally – are special hinges of the display unit, a larger number of small rubber feet that will save the ends of the body from the appearance of scuffs while using tablet mode, the beveled front edge to visually reduce the thickness of the body.
On the cover, ThinkPad logos adorn the area with the company’s glowing red dot, and a laptop is available in gray version.
Connectors are scattered on the sidewalls. On the left is the power supply socket, a connector proprietary docking station ThinkPad Onelink +, active even when switched off port USB 3.0, a combined headset jack and card reader. Right: Kensington lock hole, two video outputs (HDMI and Mini DisplayPort), another two USB3.0 and volume on and keys.
KEYBOARD AND TOUCHPAD
Keyboard Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 460 review is made in the classic style of the line – it is oval rectangular island with soft keys and a pretty deep stroke (by modern standards). There are lights with two gradations of brightness, which can be switched automatically depending on the ambient light level.
The keyboard is full-size, but without the numeric keypad. On top there are a number of relatively large function keys and arrow block a little beyond the common workspace, which helped to keep the normal size of the keys. At the center of the brand emblazoned trackpoint, below there are buttons that duplicate mouse and touchpad are medium in size.
Ease of administration can be evaluated on a solid top five. Due to a marked course on the keyboard is very comfortable to type on, Shift, Enter, Backspace have standard sizes. Trackpoint does not interfere with the keeper in use. It can be considered archaic control, but it is useful when working in cramped conditions, for example in an airplane. Although the average size of the touchpad area is sufficient, it is responsive, well recognizes multitouch gestures.
It may be noted perhaps that personal notes – instead of the bottom left Fn would like to see the Ctrl, also inconvenient power button – it placed on the side and have done very hard, so it is not only uncomfortable to press, but even look.
EASE OF USE
From the standpoint of comfort to the use of classical contact laptop. Lenovo calls the ultrabook model, although its dimensions are 338 × 236 × 19 mm and weighs 1.8 kg. This is pretty standard for both 14-inch models, parameters, without a hint of lightness and compactness over.
Hinge Yoga, as usual, is quite tight, so the laptop can not be opened with one hand, and when you switch to tablet mode, use the stand or have to make an effort. On the other hand, the rigidity of the hinge ensures easy operation and in different modes when using the touch-screen display portion is not unsteady.
The latter is the only brand the surface, because the rest of the body slightly matte and dirty when used carefully. It is made of carbon fiber (carbon fiber), but it looks like a plastic or painted metal. Carbon provides good reliability of the design, the ThinkPad undergo special tests on the performance at high temperatures, humidity, vibration (compliance MIL-STD-810G specifications).
Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 460 review available in silver color, in this case, the body is made of aluminum.
In tablet mode, the stand and the canopy above the keyboard extends protective frame, keys are locked, and the top of the podladonnoy region extends a pair of small rubber feet. This protects the keyboard and from the appearance of the area podladonnuyu unnecessary scratches. This solution I see for the first time and I can not mention its originality, the more so that in the normal mode or the keyboard frame, no extra legs does not attract too much attention.
STYLUS
In case there was a place for the stylus, it is tucked away on the left. Perot actively recognizes 2048 gradations pressing, it has keys that duplicate the two main mouse button. The body diameter of 6.5 mm is integrated battery, which is enough for 130 minutes of active work. Charging the pen directly into the laptop for 15 minutes.
The stylus can be useful to work in tablet mode, handwriting (works well) or specialized software. Theoretically, it may even be necessary to designers, they devised but sufficiently specialized devices.
SCREEN
All Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 460 review come with IPS display diagonal of 14 inches and a resolution of 1920 x 1080 up to 2560 by 1440 pixels. The coating may be an anti-reflective or mirror. We got the last version with Full HD matrix.
As a result of measurement, the brightness varies from 3 to 240 cd / m², contrast ratio measured – 1: 619. Calibration accuracy is not perfect, especially the offset gamut, but with the colors of life seem quite natural and there are no critical color distortion.
There is a small air gap between the glass and the matrix. If you use a touch screen glass is covered with fingerprints, but they look no worse than other similar devices.
In general, the screen leaves a pleasant impression – optimum resolution in the diagonal and all software (with support for zooming and without), in the presence of a good color, glare a little less than normal glossy displays, the brightness is sufficient for all situations.

It is necessary to praise the laptop’s cooling system.
