Lenovo - 330-15ARR 15.6" Laptop - AMD Ryzen 3 - 8GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive - Onyx Black

The Good: 1 - This is a very fast laptop with 8GB of memory. 2 - It has a quick charging feature. 3 - The screen while not IPS looks very good and has good viewing angles. 4 - The keyboard is very good for quick typing. 5 - There are lights for the num lock, caps lock and power. 6 - It has a DVD drive The Not So Good: 1 - You can't charge it from the USB port. 2 - There's no easy way to upgrade the drive or add memory. 3 - Only 2 USB ports* 4 - USB ports are only on one side (left) of the laptop. 5 - Audible fan. 6 - Audible hard drive. Comments: I was looking for a laptop with great performance, a very good screen and the ability to upgrade easily. Lenovo delivered on the performance but adding memory or upgrading to a SSD will be a chore because it has a dozen small screws instead of a compartment like other brands do. While this is just a minor annoyance (you don't upgrade that often), what I find both confusing and annoying is the USB type C port. When I looked at this laptop in the store, I saw the sticker on the front that said USB-C 3.1 and it also says "Fast Charging" so naturally, I thought I'd be able to charge it like my cell phone but you can't. It's nice that the port can do high speed data transfers but I would rather have a third regular USB port which is far more flexible. Although I intend to change to a SSD at some point, I have no real complaints with the 1TB drive this laptop came with. The drive is very fast for a conventional drive but in a quiet space, the drive activity noise can be annoying. As for the fan, for people who like me have a work space that is dead quiet, this could be an annoyance. It seems that the fan never turns off but for the speed of this laptop, it's a compromise I'm willing to live with. All in all, in my opinion, this is the price/performance leader in laptops as of the time of this review (I just looked and it's on sale for $60 less than I paid for mine). Thanks for reading

I ordered this computer online for school and within an hour was able to pick it up at the Best Buy near me. First and foremost, the computer has a great sleek, and clean look to it which I loved! The screen is bigger than I thought it would be, (my old laptop only had a screen size of 11'' which was fine, but this is definitely an incredible upgrade!) and the resolution is pretty good as well. I have watched Netflix on it for a few hours and the quality is definitely worth the price I paid. It took a few minutes to finish the initial set up but thats to be expected as it had to update a few things. I bought it a couple days ago and it runs like a dream. Its just the right speed for me, and I need a decent speed with all the online school work, web surfing, research, and occasional recreational use like Netflix and light video gaming. The ONLY downside to this computer is that the battery life isn't long lasting. It needs recharged within about 4 or so hours of constant use. Which it says in the description when looking at the details of the laptop. However it charges up relatively fast so it really isnt an issue for me, just the only small downside I was able to find in order to give an overall review that wasn't straight gooshing about this laptop. Long story short, I love just about everything about this laptop and the price was extremely reasonable. This is my first Lenovo Brand and I am definitely impressed with the quality of their electronics thus far. :)

I bought this laptop out of necessity. I have a really nice MacBook that I bought last year and have been using that for college but as I've gotten closer to my degree I had to get a Windows computer to be compatible with applications needed for accounting. This laptop was the one I chose as it was on sale for $319.99 at the time and it had a 10-key. The processor, RAM, and conventional hard drive (not SSD) seemed underwhelming spec wise but I didn't care, just needed something to do the school work as my Mac can do everything else. I got it delivered on Thursday and have put all my stuff on it so I can function. I was surprised at just how quick and usable this laptop is. I was expecting this thing to be a dog but completely stock it is fast enough! In the future I may bump the RAM and throw in an SSD but for now, I see no point in doing so. If you buy this laptop you'll be pleasantly surprised at what it has to offer, especially at this price point. The screen is alright, nothing stand out like my Retina display on the Mac but definitely good enough. Battery life is meh, but it only has a 2 cell battery so that's to be expected. If you're on the go then turn down your settings and use the battery saver. If you're on the fence about buying this cheap laptop, do it. It is worth it!

This laptop is not only stylish but it is also very thing at 0.9 inches tall. The display is your basic TN panel screen which means it will not have very good viewing angle as it would it was an IPS panel. But that does not really take much away from the experience. I got this laptop on sale for 329.99 which at time of this writing it is now 379.99. The ryzen 3 processor is rather fast for daily tasks like web browsing and watching videos on youtube etc which is what I use this system for. If i do load any games on it I will not be trying to run something that just came out. System has 8GB of ram but some where on the description it said 4GB so that is wrong on here. For the money this is a fairly good deal considering comparative HP laptops don't always come with WirelessAC and bluetooth which this laptop has. Does not come with an SSD. But the device is rather easy to upgrade if you know someone who can do that for you. I have dropped a 500GB samsung 860 EVO SSD in it as of yesterday now this system is super responsive and snappy. Moral of my novel of a review? BUY IT.

I selected my laptop after my current laptop emergency arose (black screen and thereafter a noisy hard drive). Due to work-related travel I had to replace it quickly. After hours of using the Best Buy site online, I found a laptop that seemed to fit what I needed short-term. Due to website design my search criteria constantly got lost every time I changed store locations, RAM or Storage size, whatever. I checked touchscreen dozens of times as a requirement. This laptop has listed in its specifications "touch screen"--I stopped there. All the other "Specifications" items listed were actually in the laptop. If I had looked to the right on the Specifications I would have discovered that what Best Buy meant was the opposite--Touchscreen NO. There was really NO Touchscreen. This is terribly misleading and defies common English usage. This laptop also does not have a radiator or a kitchen sink or puppy either. Should those be listed and then a "No" put in? Absurd. Because I am traveling daily from city to city for work for weeks and must have a working laptop at all times, I now have a "touch screen-No" laptop and cannot readily return it. Otherwise, for the price, it seems to work great. I have had many Lenovos over the years and most have been sturdy workhorses. Hopefully this one, without the touch screen I thought I was buying, will be the same and will be reliable.

It’s a great laptop, I love the look of it! The only thing I don’t like is the tracking pad, it’s very rough and seems didfixult to click things without putting force , I’m not sure if the sensitivity is adjustable. I got this laptop for the purpose of downloading light games like roblox and sims. The graphics are good . I looked at the reviews before I made this purchase, it doesn’t seem amazingly fast ,but it had pretty decent speed for the cost of this laptop . Extremely easy to set up. If you’re like me and plan on doing “light gaming” aka downloading a few games and browsing the web this is good for you. But I would advise getting a mouse to click, overall I’d rate the laptop a 4/5. This is my honest opinion

Bought this to replace another laptop to use for business (another brand) based on reviews & experience with Lenovo desktop. Appreciate the screen and keyboard size. Recharges quickly which is good since it gives you 4 hours (although sometimes it seems to need recharging more often--but not an issue). The touchpad seems to be very sensitive--lost my original review--and as someone noted, it appears to take a heavy touch to execute some actions. Afraid of damaging it but I guess I will adjust to the difference between this and my other laptops. But this can be frustrating when you are in the middle of working. I have had it about a month and the touchpad has led me to want to return it but too much work on it. I took away 1 star but I did not give it a poor rating because the issue may be mine.

KEYBOARD IS TO FAR BACK. NEED TO RAISE BACK OF LAPTOP TO SEE IT. THE SCREEN/PICTURE WAS TERRIBLE. TRIED TO INCREASE FONT SIZE. LOST PART OF THE RIGHT AND LOWER PART OF SCREEN AND WOULD REVERT BACK TO SMALL FONT ON IT'S OWN. SOME OF THE WORDS WOULD HAVE THE TOPS CUT OFF AND, THERE WOULD BE SHADOWS OF PICTURES UNDER SCREEN PICTURES. COLOR WAS VERY BAD EVEN AFTER ADJUSTMENTS. BATTERY LIFE WITH OUT VIDEO/GAMES/STREAMING - 2.5 HRS AT BEST. THE AUDIO IS TERRIBLE. EVEN ON HIGH VOLUME & DOLBY. LENOVO HAS WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE! TWO DAYS TO REACH THEM. NO CALL BACKS. THEY BLAMED WINDOWS 10 FOR SCREEN PROBLEMS. TOLD ME THEY USE CHEEP SPEAKERS THAT'S WHY AUDIO WAS SO BAD ! WOULDN'T TALK ABOUT BATTERY. WANTED TO CHARGE ME TO DIAGNOSE. WAS TOLD SOFTWARE NOT UNDER WARRANTY. LAPTOP WAS 4 DAYS OLD. I RETURNED IT!!!
