bro , I have this laptop , just got it 2 days ago , but mine has a GT425M , which one is more powerful?
some says GT425M is more powerful , but when I run AVP on DX11 on the settings you provide , I do run smooth , but I experience some lags
WOWW excelent review, I hope that I can buy it, thanks!
@daangelo29 Awesome, thanks for the reply.
Hey, I managed to swap the Fn and left CTRL keys using a BIOS mod. Works perfectly. Check out middleton’s thread in the Notebook Review forums. (Google “FN-CTRL swap on all lenovo laptops”, middleton’s mods cover more than just the Y460″)
The only thing I hate about the Y460 is the tons of Bloatware. The switched Function and CTRL keys are indeed at first a bit of an annoyance, but in time I got used to it. Also, the one I have has a Core i7 processor, which overheats when I play games and sometimes when I do photo/video editing. It also comes with a 32 GB SSD which I feel is like a thumb drive stuck on my laptop. Dunno what to do with it really.
I’m a noob to pc’s. Would this have better graphics than a 360?
i just loved your review… precise and very helpful..
thanks a lot..
hey one more thing, i was considering to buy either this or the dell xps 14… so if possible, can? u make a review of that laptop as well.. and
which do u think is a better laptop.. this or dell xps 14.. ?
and btw, how much would be? the performance difference between the graphics cards.. ATI raedon 5650 and Nvidia GT420M.. ?
thanks..
@Xrrific haha i have the y460 right now
950 with tax and shipping in california. 850+100 TOtal. and yeah, i already knew about the underclocked graphics on the envy, but i dont really care for graphics. but meh, i got the y460 and im COMPLETELY satisfied. its awesome.
@vincentx1o6 ENVY14 sucks man.. the 5650 graphic card on the ENVY is UNDERCLOCKED to reduce heat..
edit my last post.. from tiger direct i got the Y560 i5 laptop with the 5730 ati video card.
4gb ram
320gb hd
switchable graphics to intel hd graphic, 5 hours run time when not gaming.
$758.00 including shipping and no freaking tax….
whooooo
I just got a coupon code for the y460 with the i3 processor with everything else the same..
before tax its $675 after its $745
Its too tempting.. considering the i5 560 model is $999
looks like i will be getting the i3 considering the $300 savings and only modest performance loss..
just change your crouch key to fn… lol
@bzzinyo The Laptop CPU scales when gaming. It goes from 2.4Ghz to 2.93GHZ automatically. No manual overclocking was used in this video.
did you overclock it while playing?
And if so, how much?
@BEFEGE Yeah, photoshop and what not runs fine. If you want more screen space you can hook up a secondary monitor to the hdmi port.
is this laptop good for photo editing?
NICE review. ima pick this one up. been looking for a review like this. IT was eitehr this or the envy 14 but the y460 ranked higher in gaming benchmarks. all i wanted to know was the battery life, keyboard and screen. I really wanted backlit keyboard, but i guess i’ll give that up for this sweet looking laptop. Envy is too expensive for the 1600×900 screen :p Theres a coupon that ends in 3 days for 150 off this laptop too!
Hi man, i just gotta this laptop 2 weeks ago.. i gotta say i love it.. but i keep hearing constant buzzing/sizzling sound (not too loud) from the laptop – - from the WSAD key part of the laptop. Does ur laptop has the same problem?
I’ve had my y460 since April and I’ve had no problems in that time. I did replace the hard drive for a SSD.
This was the review I was looking? for too~
By the way, can u measure the temp when running the games?
And also the temp under slight operation(e.g only using Word, Excel),
How about when Cool Pad is added to Y460? Will the temp lowered a few degree?
Sorry for asking so many question because I am in doubt in choose Y460 or fujitsu notebook. Thx in advance ><
@jetyue777 Mafia 2 runs great with everything high, Ambient Occlusion off, and PhysX off. I haven’t tested GTA 4 yet, the laptop meets the requirements for that game and it should run okay. I’ll get back to if we install it.
was mafia II demo playable on this lapton? what was the setting? also, have u tried GTA4 on it?
This was the review I was looking for
@Pablo82Pac I searched around and this problem is mostly cause by not having the latest version of Direct X on your system. You can download the latest version of Direct X from Microsoft’s website.
Hi I just bought the LENOVO y460, and I installed MAFIA II , I have a problem when i start it says, Cant start cuz XINPUT1_3.dll is missing, what can I do?
