Workers can't go wrong with Lenovo's ThinkPad T460. It's not the sleekest or most portable business laptop around, but it might be the best overall option for people who want to get things done. With a top-tier keyboard, a durable design, strong security and epic battery life, the T460 is a seriously well-rounded business machine.
Design
It's not exactly heavy, but the ThinkPad T460 isn't the most commuter-friendly work laptop you can buy either. The system weighs in at 3.8 lbs. (or 4.2 lbs. with the extended battery attached), so it can start to feel hefty when you're carrying it back and forth between home and the office. The slimmer ThinkPad T460s (with an "s") is easier to tote around, at just 3 lbs., though it doesn't last as long on a charge.
Security
The T460 sports solid security credentials, including hardware encryption and a built-in fingerprint reader for added security. Unfortunately, it's an old-school swipe reader, which is a lot less reliable than the single-touch fingerprint sensors found on pricier ThinkPads like the T460s.
While the swipe reader - which requires users to slowly slide their fingers down over the sensor - worked most of the time, it often prompted me to try again with my finger positioned slightly differently. That can get annoying in the long run.
