Efficiently Powerful

Primarily, Lenovo has extensively enhanced the interior makeup of the U460 in order to make this laptop more efficient and more powerful than the previous model. This notebook comes equipped with up to an Intel Core i5 processor (2.40 GHz) verses the Intel Core Duo 2 processor in the U450, and the maximum storage on the hard drive has been increased from 320MB to 500MB, ensuring that the Lenovo IdeaPad U460 is strong enough to handle some of the more processor-intensive programs. Additionally, the U460 comes with up to 4GB of RAM and features the Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) operating system to help you manage it all.

Like the U450, the IdeaPad U460 comes standard with a 14” high definition display (1366×768), which is incredible considering that this notebook is so light. To provide you with stunning graphics, the IdeaPad U460 comes with an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HM55 HD or a NVIDIA GeForce 305M graphics card and either way, this laptop is sure to be able to provide clean and crisp images for hours of video entertainment. The U460 also comes with a 1.3 megapixel camera for online chats or video conferencing and a new ambient light sensor that auto-adjusts the display to provide you with the best viewing conditions no matter your lighting situation.

Lenovo IdeaPad Style

The IdeaPad U460 also features the modern style that has become synonymous with Lenovo’s U-series. This notebook comes in a variety of case colors, like Red and Black, and all feature a chic geometric print inlay. The inside comes with a sleek aluminum finish featuring a full keyboard of cool black keys, as well as a TouchPad with two full-size buttons for mouse-free navigation and a brand-new fingerprint reader for security and easy access.

Connecting to the rest of the world should never be an issue with the U460, even if you’re on-the-go. In addition to the integrated Intel Wireless Wi-Fi Link 1000 card, there is an Ethernet port to connect to landlines, as well as many other ports including three USB and one of each of the following: VGA, HDMI, eSATA/USB, headphone output, microphone input, and 5-in-1 card reader. To get the most out of this ultra-portable notebook while out of your home or office, the IdeaPad U460 features up to an 8-cell battery which can provide just over 6 hours of cordless life.
