The design of this laptops is simple. In my opinion it has nothing special that jumps out right into your face. It comes in black as a basic color and many future models will have other colors too, but I’m not so sure.

The coolest thing about this machine is its specifications, that are great compared to other home-use laptops.

Lenovo IdeaPad Y460 Specifications

Testers say: “Ideapad Y460 may have keyboard issue at the up, down, left and right key or around that area. The issue is whenever I press that area, the feeling is like the keyboard never being put correctly and cause quite a noisy noise.”

Lenovo IdeaPad Y460 comes in two models:
– first powered Intel Core i5-520M with graphics 1GB of ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 and Intel GMA HD.
– second with powered Intel Core i3-330M processor with Intel GMA HD integrated video graphics card.

It’s for now just available just in Singapore, but soon it will be unfold to the market from $999 to $1,199.

Every aspect of the computer is well designed with lots of touches that add a polished and finished feel to the overall look.
The screen is protected by a sheet of glass and because of it’s form – the base is flaring down and behind – it can be very easily mounted to the wall.

This machine is the world’s thinnest desktop having the thinnest point only 1 inch thick. As a result of this unique design, with a thin, flat screen on top of a thicker, curved bottom, the A600 needs a stand on the bottom that juts forward in order to maintain its balance.

Unfortunately, also because it’s design, it is hard to move it around.So it will be best if you chose a place for it before you arrange it.
Lenovo added a webcam to the top middle of the display, a device that’s increasingly being added to notebooks, desktops and even monitors. Stereo microphones sit next to it on either side and stereo speakers sit at the bottom. What’s interesting, however, is the way in which Lenovo takes advantage of the webcam’s capabilities.

What comes along with the webcam drivers is a VeriFace  facial recognition utility that lets users log in just by sitting in front of their computer.
Additionally the A600 monitors the webcam for room brightness and automatically adjusts the back lighting of the display.Also the desktop monitors, through its webcam, how close or how far you sit from the display, and if you sit to close or to far a message pops out and tells you to adjust your posture.

Looking at the A600 head on, no buttons are visible. This is because there’s only one physical button on the entire computer — a power button, on the left hand side.

Viewing angles are pretty good.The display is covered with a sheet of glass that runs edge to edge and that adds a feeling of luxury but also adds some reflection to the screen as well as some slight optical distortion.

The machine uses lower-power components which are rarely the equal of similar components used in most desktops.
System performance with the Intel Core 2 Duo P7450 processor and ATI Mobility Radeon HD3650 is very good for both regular users and power-users that might enjoy using the computer for typing documents in the early evening, and switching to some light gaming or HD movie watching late at night.

It comes with a wireless keyboard with touchpad, wireless lase mouse and a 3D motion controller.Those components are great compared with some of the “free” components included with some computers.
The coolest feature of the A600 is the media remote.gyroscopic mouse/VOIP handset/game controller.
It can work as a presentation controller, moving the pointer around the screen with basic gyroscopic control, with left and right mouse buttons located near the center of the remote. It also has full controls for Windows Media Center and can function as a wireless handset to make calls through VOIP software, with a microphone and speaker built into it.

It only weights 5,3 lbs and it’s 1’’ thin. First models feature Intel Core 2 Duo ULV CPUs at 1.3GHz or 1.4GHz, the Intel GMA 4500MHD integrated or the ATI Radeon HD 4330 512MB dedicated graphics, 3GB or 4GB of DDR3 memory, a 250GB or 320GB hard drive, a DVD burner, and a six-cell battery for “up to 6 hours” of run time. According to a product page at Lenovo.com, the 15.6″ display has a resolution of 1366×768 pixels and uses LED backlight.

It has a 1,3 mp webcam, a multi-touch trackpad, Dolby surround sound, WiFi N and WiMAX wireless connections, Bluetooth, an HDMI port, and a fingerprint reader.

The price is quite pleasant, it only costs 800$ but ships in more than 4 weeks.

It is sad that models on the Amazon cost only about 600-700$ and the shipping is expected to start on October 22.
