![]() ![]() As the name suggests, it supports the latest ac standard as well as the usual g and n standards. 867 MBit/s gross in ac) Wi-Fi module is state-of-the-art. The installed Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 (2x2 = max. The maximum transfer rate was 86 MB/s when copying large data blocks, while approximately 65 MB/s can be expected with standard JPG image files of roughly 5 MB each. We use our Toshiba Exceria Pro SDXC 64 GB UHS-II reference SD card for testing the card reader's performance. The review sample is one of the few laptops that can sometimes outbid this rate. Most laptops achieve sequential transfer rates of almost 100 MB/s in conjunction with the tester's external USB 3.0 hard drive. Lenovo does not quite follow this, but the front right, which is particularly important for most (right-handed) users is kept largely free. Ports are ideally situated on the rear lateral sides so that inserted sticks and cables do not interfere with using an external mouse. Thunderbolt and USB 3.1 Type-C are not present, but a UoIP hub for Wireless USB is found in the device manager. ![]() In addition to three USB 3.0 ports, HDMI (1.4) and a mini-DisplayPort, the docking port and SmartCard reader will be of particular interest to the target group. ![]() Otherwise, everything that business users normally expect is installed. Although the slightly too tightly set hinges prevent prolonged rocking after jerks, the laptop cannot be opened with one hand.įor the first time, the ThinkPad T460 does not have a VGA port that is rarely needed for connecting old-fashioned projectors. Lenovo has botched the assembly of the review sample, which is not acceptable, especially considering the high price. A striking gap, which we could close with intense pressure, was found on the right, above the ports. It produces an unhealthy sounding cracking and creaking noise on the unstable left side. The casing could be warped to some extent with relatively little effort. Once again, the familiar mix of fiberglass-carbon materials is used. The velvety-soft finish is not easy to clean, but provides optimal grip. The relatively fingerprint-resistant surfaces that adorn the entire device and the matte-black display bezel make a superb impression. We would call the design edgy-simple and rather masculine. 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.Īt a first glance, the T460 is identified as a ThinkPad not least due to the eye-catching TrackPoint keys. 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. It also has the same dimensions and is just as heavy. Both have a capacity of approximately 23 Wh.Įven at a second glance, apart from the connections the casing of the T460 is identical to those of the former T450 and T440. Once again, the installed battery is supplemented with an additional, removable unit. Mobile Internet (optional) is not on board. ![]() Our review sample with the model number 20FN003LGE comes with the frugal Intel Core i5-6200U ULV CPU with 2 cores and Hyperthreading, the processor-integrated Intel HD 520 graphics, 8 GB of RAM, a 256 GB SSD, various security features, and a non-touch IPS panel. The screenshot below shows the available components. We have selected devices that have a similar size, purpose, performance and price as the review sample, and that are currently the main rival of the T460:įor better orientation, we also use Lenovo's ThinkPad T460s-20FA003GGE with an i7-6600U and WQHD panel for performance measurements.Īs is standard in the series, the T460 can be configured extensively. The high-quality ThinkPads from the E and L series, which have inherited many positive traits from the T series, are considerably less expensive. Buyers who prefer a slimmer device will perhaps find one among the ThinkPad TXXXs ultrabooks, such as the direct T460s counterpart. As appropriate for the category, it scores with more than enough performance, almost legendary input devices, quiet operation and very long battery life for its target group. The T460 is a highly mobile business laptop for high demands. The looks have not changed much, and the specifications are quite similar, with the exception of screen and CPU. For the original German review, see here.Ībout a year ago, Lenovo launched the Broadwell-based T450 predecessor of the current ThinkPad T460 on the market. ![]()
