To test the battery today we put the machine through three sets of ‘real world' situations. One as a media movie lover on the move (wearing headphones), a person wanting to watch high definition media on a train journey or bus with two thirds screen brightness. Wireless and all other networking was disabled.
Secondly as a business man, using the machine for productivity with wireless enabled and balanced power settings with a mid way (around half) brightness setting – this is actually just about useable on the X460.
Thirdly as a gamer on the move with screen brightness up high.
The X460 battery life is really impressive especially under general ‘light' conditions. We managed to eek around 7 hours and 30 minutes from the machine which is better than we expected, even if it is a little short of the 8 hour claim from MSI.
Excellent, nice to see the prices dropping.
Those are great cpus, my friend bought a Dell with one of them in it and its really so much faster than my older core 2 duo. noticeable, even when using basic apps
Nice looking machine, shame they went for a complete gloss makeover. my toshiba machine is like that, and it looks like a dogs dinner after 10 minutes using it.
Core i7 runs hot in a laptop, never seen anyone using such a small chassis for one. well apart from Apple, but they overheat too.
MSI are really underrated, but they do need to spice some of their machines up a little. This one is quite attractive and slim. Good performance (I dont game so I like intel onboard as its cool running and still accelerates HD media).
