Review HP ProBook 6460b LG645EA Notebook
HP ProBook 6460b LG645EAThe ProBook 6460b LG645EA's case is,Toshiba PA3534U-1BRS alike the ProBook range's family members, very successful in terms of looks. HP also relies on the 2011 design with matt, brushed aluminum in a titanium colored outfit for the ProBook 6460b LG645EA.toshiba pa3535u-1brs battery
The case's workmanship and stability gives no reason for complaint.hp pavilion dv2000 battery This model's chassis has also been reinforced with magnesium. In this case, the used materials don't have an adverse effect on the ProBook 6460b LG645EA's weight.hp pavilion dv6000 battery This notebook even belongs to one of the lighter ones in the 14 inch laptop weight category with 2090 grams (apart from the Slim Line notebooks, that is).hp pavilion dv9000 battery
The HP laptop proves to be quite handy and thus can be stored well in your hand luggage with its dimensions of 338x34x231 mm.hp compaq 6710b battery The robust aluminum case is very resistant against vibrations and other environmental influences. Merely the case's platinum surface doesn't like to be touched and is therefore quickly covered with unwelcome fingerprints.compaq presario cq60 battery
Alike the previous models, the case's lid can be opened with only one hand. IBM thinkpad r60e battery The HP ProBook's new hinges still make opening difficult in the beginning. However, the notebook doesn't topple over backwards when opened to the maximum. Two firmly catching transportation hooks on the left and right keep the laptop's case lid fastened to the base unit in a closed state.Lenovo thinkpad r60 battery
The space between the single ports is generous so that all connections can be occupied at the same time.Lenovo thinkpad t60 battery Even two larger USB sticks hardly get into each other's way. Since the interfaces are distributed over three sides you have many cables or "docked" peripherals around the notebook during extensive use.Lenovo thinkpad x60 battery
For this case, there is a connection for an optionally available docking station on the device's bottom. IBM thinkpad X60S battery Depending on the model, it costs about 220 euros and bids 4 additional USB ports, a Display port, a DVI and VGA out.Lenovo thinkpad t500 battery
You have several options for connecting to the company network or the Internet right away with the HP ProBook.Lenovo thinkpad t61 battery First, the cabled option via the 10/100/1000 compatible LAN socket on the rear. Another possibility is via the integrated wireless LAN standard IEEE 802.11 b/g/n. Moreover, our ProBook alternative has Bluetooth,Lenovo thinkpad r61 battery a 56k modem and a 3G compatible WWAN module.Lenovo thinkpad t400 battery
The ProBook is equipped with many security functions. Among them,Lenovo thinkpad t410 battery a fingerprint reader and the security lock slot (Kensington lock), a TPM Embedded Security Chip 1.2, Enhanced Pre-Boot Security and a disk encryption. The security tool, HP Spare Key, isn't pre-installed on the laptop, but can be installed subsequently if the user requires it.Lenovo x300 battery
HP restricts itself to the most necessary in terms of included supplies - as in almost all of its notebooksLenovo x200 battery Print is only found in the way of a few leaflets and notes. Besides the various CD media, the 65 watt power adapter for the notebook is included. Windows 7 Professional 64 bit version is used as the operating system. Lenovo 3000 v100 battery It can be found in the form of image files on a recovery partition.Lenovo 3000 v200 battery
There is also more software installed in the state of delivery. For example,Lenovo 3000 c200 battery a reduced functionality version of Microsoft Office 2010. Norton Internet Security 2011 is also installed. However, you need a license after 60 days of use. HP has installed Roxio Secure Burn as burner software.Lenovo ideapad s10 battery
The warranty period is 12 monthsFujitsu lifebook t4215 battery It can be extended with an optionally available and fee-based onsite service and a warranty extension. An extension of up to 5 years including onsite service is possible with the HP Care Pack.Fujitsu lifebook t4210 battery
The QWERTZ keyboard is spill proof, like in its bigger brother,Fujitsu lifebook t4220 battery the ProBook 6560b. Should it come in touch with water, it can be drained off again. The single keys stand alone and are easy to use. Typing during the test phase was very pleasant and there weren't any unpleasant typing noises.Fujitsu lifebook t5010 battery The J and F keys have a small bump to locate them better and can be found without looking. This HP ProBook doesn't have a separate number pad.apple a1175 battery
The four arrow keys are very small in the ProBook 6460b and are on the same height as the other keys.apple a1185 battery HP only uses the most necessary keys in the layout. WLAN can be turned on and off, the web browser can be opened or sound can be muted via three shortcut keys.apple a1189 battery
There is a fairly big touchpad in front of the keyboard.acer aspire 5920 battery It supports multi-touch inputs and gesture control. It also has an area that can be used for 2-way scrolling. The touchpad's surface gliding capabilities are very good. There are two keys in front of the touchpad which take care of the mouse key functions.acer aspire 5050 battery
There is a small dot, almost invisible, in the touchpad over which the touchpad can be disabled and enabled. acer aspire 5100 battery The touchpad is turned off when it's tapped twice by a finger and a LED indicates that it's disabled. A sensible option for prolific typists who don't always want to follow the cursor on the screen.acer aspire 5100 battery
14 inch anti-glare LED displayThe HP ProBook 6460b LG645EA is equipped with a 14 inch anti-glare LED screen. Sony VGP-BPS9/S battery It can display HD+ resolution of 1600x900 pixels in a 16:9 format. The screen hardly throws any reflections back at you as is appropriate for a business laptop.Sony VGP-BPS9 battery
The built-in display isn't necessarily the perfect solution for daily office work with its 14 inches.Sony VGP-BPS9A/B battery Script on the screen looks quite small. The resolution can be reduced to 800x600 from 1366x768 pixels, but the quality suffers. Also for this reason,Sony VGP-BPS9A/S battery it's recommendable to use an external monitor during stationary use. Nevertheless, you have all advantages with the HD+ resolution on the go, for example when working with several windows at the same time.Sony VGP-BPS13A/B battery
OutdoorsThe HD+ anti-glare in the ProBook also has to struggle with lighting conditions outdoors.Sony VGP-BPS13 battery The color's brilliance quickly deteriorates in direct sunlight. The colors bleach and the displayed content becomes almost illegible.Sony VGP-BPS13A/Q battery
The HP ProBook 6460b LG645EA's viewing angles are quite modest. Sony VGP-BPS13/B battery While the colors are still very vivid in an ideal viewing angle, the slightest deviation let them loose on brilliance. While the lateral viewing angles still appear to be acceptable at a 45 degree angle, additional tilting either way is a deal breaker for the HD+ display.Sony VGP-BPS13B/B battery
The picture was still well visible from both directions in our mandatory viewing angle test of 45 degrees.Sony VGP-BPS13B/Q battery An inverted, respectively faded picture was displayed when an additional tilt of +45, respectively +45 degrees was added in every setting.Sony VGP-BPS13A/S battery
This laptop was no exception and had to run through many tests in the benchmark marathon.Sony VGP-BPS13/Q battery In addition to cross-component test tools, such as PCMark 05, PCMark 7 and PCMark Vantage, which assess the entire bundle (CPU, GPU, memory and hard disk), the hard disk's speed was also tested.Sony VGP-BPS8 battery
Furthermore, the laptop had to endure a few synthetic benchmarks from Futuremark.Sony VGP-BPS8A battery These test tools specify just how fast the laptop's graphic functions are. The graphics function only has a secondary role in a business laptop, such as the HP ProBook 6460b LG645EA.Sony VGP-BPS10 battery However, it shouldn't be underestimated because more and more programs use the resources of a graphics card to accelerate processes and to unburden the CPU (video and audio de / compression, etc.) But you still are sufficiently equipped with an incorporated graphics solution for conventional office use (Internet, Word, Excel, etc.).Sony VGP-BPS2 battery
The incorporated HD Graphics 3000 video performance is significantly better than in the old Intel HD Graphics and is equal to an entry level graphics card Sony VGP-BPS2A battery (for example, Nvidia GeForce 310M). The Intel HD graphics is also clocked from 650 MHz to 1200 MHz dynamically thanks to Turbo Boost.Sony VGP-BPS2B battery
The Intel HD Graphics 3000's graphics and 3D performance are on the expected level Sony VGP-BPS2C battery (see: benchmark list and comparison of notebook graphic cards). The 3DMark 11 benchmark didn't run due to compatibility problems with DirectX 11 (HD Graphics 3000).Sony VGP-BPS22 battery
The average transfer rate, measured with HDTune, was 78.63 MB/s in the test.Sony VGP-BPS22A battery We could tickle out more of the disk with CrystalDiskMark 3.0. CrystalDiskMark 3.0 determined a smooth rate of 98 MB/s, whereby we ran it five times. The burst rate was 104.3 MB/s at a CPU capacity of 3.9 percent in the test. A 7200 rpm notebook hard disk should actually be capable of a bit more.Sony VGP-BPS13AS battery
The ventilation system, which consists of a strong system fan and a dissipating heatpipe construction,Sony VGP-BPS13S battery sometimes has a hard job to discharge the power loss effectively out of the case - depending on the Intel dual core CPU's load. The fan was hardly or quietly audible in idle mode.Sony VGP-BPS13/S batteryThe noise level was between 32.8 dB (A) and 35.7 dB (A). This rate is hardly noticed in an office environment because the surroundings are usually a lot louder. The fan got a bit louder during DVD playing. We could measure 33 dB (A) here.Sony VGP-BPS13B/S battery
The usually "fairly quiet" fan turned into a summer breeze and reached a maximum level of 41.8 dB (A)Sony VGP-BPS10/B battery in the simulated stress test. Thus, although the fan is fairly quiet in routine work, the noise increases significantly during load. The fan noise is drowned out quickly in a room.Sony VGP-BPS10A battery The fan was perceived as a lot quieter at a distance of 2 meters. Moreover, load increase or decrease, like simulated in our stress test, shouldn't occur in practical use anyway.Sony VGP-BPS10A/B battery
Not only did the fan get louder as time passed, the case also got noticeably warmer. Sony VGP-BPS10/S battery The HP ProBook's surface remained cool as expected in idle. We could measure temperatures between 25.4 and 28.8 degrees Celsius in an ambient temperature of 22.6 degrees. There were areas on the bottom that exceeded 34 degrees Celsius.Sony VGP-BPS21A/B battery
The temperatures increased quite a bit during load.Sony VGP-BPS21 battery We could measure the maximum rate of 34.6 degrees Celsius in the upper right, where the cooling system's air vents are located. This was also confirmed by the temperature assessment on the bottom. The measured rates were around 39.7 degrees Celsius in the "exhaust's" area. In comparison: Only 30.6 degrees were measured here in idle mode.Sony VGP-BPS21A battery
The rest of the case stays within a pleasant range with an average temperature of 30,Sony VGP-BPS21/S battery respectively 32 degrees Celsius even during load. We averaged the top's and bottom's temperature for this. Sony VGP-BPS21/B battery
Various programs were started at the same time for the simulated stress test. First, dell vostro 1710 battery Prime95 to fire up the CPU and second Furmark for the graphics. In addition to CPU-Z and GPU-Z, we also used the program Everest Ultimate from Lavalys for monitoring.dell vostro 1720 battery We could follow the CPU's increasing temperatures. It gets very warm in these extreme conditions with up to 86°C (Everest estimate), but nevertheless remains significantly under its allowed maximum.Dell Vostro 1310 battery
