"Official" x460DX Owners Thread

[jbrian420]

I was positive with getting the x460dx and putting a i7 in it, but after looking at the y470 again I am unsure. The Lenovo can be purchased cheaper with a i7 already, and upgraded with msata for about what I would pay for the msi. The only thing holding me back on the Lenovo is the shorter battery life and additional weight. I found a refurbished y470 with an i7 and 1yr warranty for $700!

Nope, it runs very cool. It even runs cool when overclocked

If the warranty falls through on my 11.6" acer 1810TZ, I'll be needing a new laptop soon. And this has been the best candidate with a discrete GPU (besides LG P330).

How portable would you guys rate x460dx?

Just orderd a X460DX-096 from NCIX. Should be here in a couple of days, definitely excited about getting a new laptop, it has been too many years.

I also purchased a X460DX-096US from NCIX. Got it for $766.13 ($109 off) during their Boxing Day sale. You definitely won't be disappointed ;D

Very portable. It's less than an inch thick and very light.

Loving the x460dx so far, minus the glossy plastic and screen. D:

Was wondering though, has anyone found or purchased a tpu keyboard cover? The only ones I was able to find were for the X400 and 410.

finally got mine from xoticPC. Not that they were slow, I was just so excited!

This thing is awesome. I'm on battery life with the Turbobattery+ , and the battery life indicator is showing 8hr29 minutes @ 92 percent.

It did get a bit warm last night when I had been gaming for about 7 hours on Star Wars: The Old Republic. Runs the game great though: high settings, full resolution.

So far my only complaint is keeping the fingerprints off of this thing, but I knew that going in.

My x460DX showed up yesterday. My initial impressions from a couple hours setting up the laptop are overall good.

The laptop is deceptively light for its size.

The screen seems marginally better than the Lenovo Y410 it is replacing.
The keyboard feels really responsive.
The touchpad coating has more resistance than I am used to, so that will just take getting used to. Also the two finger scrolling could take some getting used to. Is it possible to configure the touchpad to have the right hand small section be used for scrolling like older touchpads?

Overall responsiveness of the laptop is good. There was minimal bloat to uninstall, took me less than 20 minutes to uninstall all the bloatware.

The button under the touchpad does show finger smudges all the time, as does the plastic on the sides of the keyboard. They are something I was aware of, and don't really care about, but it is worth mentioning.

In the next couple days, as I use it more, I should be able to post some impressions on the battery life and temperature.
