Hands-on with the Samsung X460: Road Warrior's Dream Machine

[EpiDemic117]

Well so much for considering this one. Instead I bought a sony Vaio VGN-FW. i would of gotten this one if it didn't have such a crappy intel integrated GPU chip. Everything else about this laptop is awesome.

Actually it's a crappy Nvidia discreet GPU chip.

I see. I do love samsung's eye for quality. That's normally rare for a Korean company. LG is somewhat the opposite. They've mad some low quality products. Although I do have to admit. This monitor i have on this computer i bought from them does kick quite a bit of ass.

I just bought the X460-41S from amazon for a decent price. What do you guys think? Anyone have any bad or good experiences with this notebook?

hmm I am wondering if this would be a good notebook for college, thin, light, but still pretty powerful, and really good battery life. I am also liking the dock, I could take this to classes and just put it on the desk in my dorm room and use a big monitor mouse ect. Considering there is a 300 dollar rebate you can get on it right now (until april 30th I believe) you can get it for 899 after the rebate. Seems like an awesome deal. Anyone buy this and think it would be good for college?

I bought the x360-34g version (without cdrom) and it's perfect for college students. typical 6lbs laptop will kill you if you lug it around all day long.

But with this being only 4 lbs (and 3lbs for x360-34g), it make a world difference.

The performance is great on these C2D and the battery life is awesome. I usually get around 5~5.5 hours on a single charge thanks to the low-voltage processor.

So , yes, highly recommended for college students.

Wow.. It's hard for me to swtich from apple to this.. but I LOVE that the keyboard is like the macbook.

[kschumannjr]

LOL...Don't you mean Sony VAIO keyboard?  But then again you use macs, so you're used to FAIL.

any shots of the power supply? WHY DOES NOBODY ADD THIS TO THEIR DANG VIDEOS!! We all know Dell's plugs tend to break, I'm looking to buy a new laptop, I need to know what kind of plugs these laptops use...

I'm thinking of buying an X460-44P NoteBook, but I keep hearing "Business" pop up in the video. A very large aspect of whether or not I'm going to buy it is if it can play games well or not. I'm probably going to play mostly simple games like Runescape, (Yes, laugh at me.) Maplestory, Dofus, and Gunbound. However, I may also play games like Team Fortress 2, and Portal. Will this notebook be powerful enough to do all that?

[Shrantic]

Generally, 4GB of RAM, 320GB Hard Drive, and 2.26GHz processor seems more than adequate to do things like that, but hearing "Business Notebook" is REALLY turning me off from this laptop. Are my fears well-founded?

See another X460 Review. The other one mentions Gaming :)

[gbtidi]

The X460 packs an Nvidia 9300M GS with 256MB dedicated graphics RAM, so it'll easily give you decent FPS on games like Team Fortress 2.
