It's like Samsung are determined to have me starve to death. I almost bankrupted myself buying the x460 but I still think it was worth it. I even had to borrow money from my loan shark friend. (Alan)
I got excited when I first saw this on dabs. My R70's screen was getting a bit dim and I was looking for an upgrade, this was my R70 x 2. Its got everything that laptop has and does it with a whole lot more grace. The LED back lit 14" screen was the first thing that attracted me but it gets better.
Style
The x460 is a hell of a lot thinner than my R70, but still retains every feature. This makes typing a lot more comfortable with its lower form factor and it just looks amazing. The brushed aluminium section modelled above comes in black if you don't go for that sort of thing, but this is not a laptop that you'll regret being seen with. The x460 is more than a pretty face, but it has one of those too.
Every feature on the laptop surface is subdued and does not distract from your work but still has a pleasant aesthetic.
Keyboard
You might see a trend in my reviews, I am keyboard mad. If a laptop doesn't a good one, it's useless to me. Luckily, this is another area where the x460 destroys its predecessors. Not only does it have the aforementioned lower form factor but the keys are separated from each other and nicely cushioned to type on. My time of writing on the NC10 could be over.
The X460 is a solid laptop. Its pricey enough for the specs you get however, so if you are a spec head you might look elsewhere. If you are looking for a solid, robust and usable laptop that looks great and wont let you down your search is over.
