Few laptops can match the utility of the Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 460. With a solid stylus, the quality 360-degree display hinge and a durable build, the Yoga 460 is the jack knife of business laptops. Add in the useful software and tactical keyboard and you have an excellent 2-in-1 that can adapt to nearly any situation. However, if you’re willing to spend a bit more you could opt for the Lenovo’s X1 Carbon or Apple MacBook Pro. Both offer more powerful specifications with stronger graphical performance and are considerably lighter.

The Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 460 is a business 2-in-1 that offers great utility: an accurate stylus and a versatile chassis that's good for presentations, productivity and a bit of entertainment. Unfortunately, the Yoga 460's keyboard, while decent, isn't as good as what you'd find on other ThinkPads. Its screen is a bit dull and the notebook underperformed compared with other laptops with similar specs.

Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 460 turned out a bargain, because of the capacity it offers, as well as the durability that “guards” the hybrid. You can enjoy your favourite photos or movies in each of the four modes (laptop, tent, stand and tablet) without the threat of poor image quality – all this is thanks to the IPS panel. The lack of PWM in almost all brightness levels and all levels considered as normal for work is very good news, as it is expected of you to spend a good deal of your time in front of the screen. In this way you can be sure that your eyes will be a tiny bit better-protected.

In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

14.00:
14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact.
In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.

70.53%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
