general lenovo Y460 info

Hi all Lenovo fans/buyers/owners.

I really like the Y460, I Cant stop thinking about it. The case is so sleek, and the hindges with there chromed up design. There is not many videos on youtube or the net showing off gaming on it. I realize there are other laptops similar to performance as this laptop namely the envy 14 and timelinex 3820tg. I like them all, ID buy them all too if I could.

A few questions; How are some of the games runing on this perticular machine:mmorpg's(FFXIV bench, aion, wow, Lotro, DDO, GW), fps(cod4:mw2,bbc2,metro2033,deadspace,Leftfordead), What kinda price range have people been getting there machines with discounts or with none, How portable are they, Hows build quaility along with long gaming sessions, Hows overclocking, and would you recommend it to a friend? I realize theres a thread about this perticular machine already but Id like some specific awnsers if its ok.

 

It'll run anything you throw at it on medium to high settings. FF14 benchmark gave me a 2022 score. A good price for one should be $800-850. Build quality is on par with most other consumer based computers. The plastic is good quality but there is flex in some spots. The right side of the keyboard has a bunch of flex. I carry mine to some classes and hardly notice the difference between it and the tiny x100e that I have. Overclocking is as easy as downloading the overclock tool and setting the clocks.

A few things aren't that great. The hard drive that it comes with wasn't the greatest. Loud and felt laggy. The bottom of the laptop is almost unbearably hot when gaming for a long time. A cooling pad completely stops that though. There is ton of crapware that comes with it.

 

great bang for buck laptop imo(i have one). there are no games that i have that cannot be played on high/medium. oced the gpu a little to 600/900(havent found out how to oc the processor since i have a i5 540 so eleet is out of the qn) and temp increase was only about 2 degrees C
