Is IdeaPad Y460 Laptop A Good Buy?

<p>Hey guys, I'm looking for a good laptop that can last me for at least 3 year. I'm going to major in electical and computer hardware engineering, and I will be doing a lot of school related stuff with my computer. I was wondering if the IdeaPa Y460 is the perfect match, if not please suggest me some good computers? I'm not looking for HP, ACER, and those crapy brands.</p>

<p>Thanks,
Jay</p>

<p>If you are looking to go with a Lenovo, I would strongly recommend that you purchase one of the ThinkPad series ones.</p>

<p>Lenovo used to be IBM, and the ThinkPad laptops have a great name. They are one of the top choices of laptops for many businesses and also are virtually indestructible.</p>

<p>The IdeaPads have been around less time than the ThinkPad series, and have received mixed reviews.</p>

<p>Within the ThinkPad Line, look at the T-Series… This is comparable to the price of the laptop you have been looking at. It has better specs too.

<p>Good luck with whatever you choose!</p>

<p>thanks summerdude, I was thinking of the T series as well, but can you tell me if there are better laptops than lenovo?</p>

<p>Lenovo is simply the best. I literally just bought a T510 a few days ago! For a great discount, check out lenovo.com/spp</p>

<p>You will need to register an account, which is free, and then you can go! You do NOT need to be a shareholder.</p>

<p>I agree, Lenovo is one of the better brands. There are others though like Toshiba that are good as well. I would be cautious around HP, but the HP Envy 14 has received a lot of good publicity and is very popular on this forum.</p>

<p>Of course, Macs are very popular too and are reliable, but they may not fit the bill for your major.</p>
