Q: Is it possible for the owner to upgrade the ram and, if so, how difficult is it? Max Ram?
A: Yes. You must purchase DDR4-2400 SODIMM laptop memeory for it work well with the built in memory. The person who said a "CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN" must upgrade it is only saying that to either boost "THE GEEK SQUAD"'s revenue or is trying to cover their backside. It is actually very easy to upgrade. Remove the 10 screws holding the bottom on, pull at the plastic carefully up by the display hinge, and the bottom will pop off. There is a small metal black panel by the existing hard drive. Under that panel is the M.2 slot for a new hard drive and the DDR4 slot for a single memory chip to be installed. There are 3 screw that hold that metal panel in place, along with 3 small squeeze clips. The squeeze clips do not require any tools to remove, just gently pulling straight up. Take not of the 3 screws you are removing cause they are different than the bottom panel screws. Once you have that panel off, just clip in your new memory chip, making sure you have the notch aligned properly, and snap it in place. Then re-assemble by following the instructions above in reverse order. Same instructions apply for installing a new M.2 drive. And this DOES take the NVMe type for even better performance. Even though it is only an I-3 core processor, it actually does a really good job with the simple stuff, and pretty good with some of the more complex.
Q: Does this laptop have Windows 10?
A: Yes, this model ships with Windows 10 Home 64-bit operating system.
Q: can this computer run roblox?
A: Yes, it can run Roblox.
Q: Does this have disk drive input?
A: This model has a 128GB solid state hard drive. This model does not have a CD/DVD drive built in.
Q: Windows 10 Home in S mode ?
A: I volunteer helping a lot of people (friends, church, elderly in retirement homes) with their computer issues. I have been able to figure out shortcuts and various ways to help them get around problems. However, this one is new. An elderly friend purchased a new laptop from Best Buy and asked my help in setting it up, adding Chrome and Firefox, putting on her own antivirus, plus a few other things. I was able to set up the machine skirting the “Microsoft Account” (that should not be a requirement), and got it setup using a local account. Then we discovered that her new laptop has “Win10 S Mode”. Windows Store requires an account. How do I disable S Mode without an account? She does not want a MS account, and does not want a Store account, she just wants to install her own stuff.
Q: Is this a good computer for a college student taking online classes?
A: That will really depend on the programs you will need to use with your computer. We recommend you check the requirements and compatibility of the software you will need to use on your new computer, before you invest. Be sure your new computer will do the work you want to do, before you invest in any new computer. The Lenovo IdeaPad 330s-15 laptop is a mid-level, moderate use configuration, with its Intel Core i3-8130U processor. This Dual-Core processor has a base speed of 2.2GHz and a boost speed of up to 3.4GHz. This configuration has 4GB of DDR4-2400MHz RAM and a 128GB solid state hard drive. This model ships with Windows 10 S-Mode operating system. Windows 10 S-Mode provides added security by only allowing APPs available ( and therefore certified by Microsoft) at the Microsoft Store. If you don't need the added security or you need to install APPs not available at the Microsoft Store, you can switch to standard Windows 10 Home 64-bit Operating System, at no additional cost. The IdeaPad 330s-15 is good with Microsoft Office type programs, internet browsing and other moderate work. If this describes your computing needs, the IdeaPad 330s-15 would be a good choice for you.
Q: What generation is the processor?
A: Model number 81F5018EUS ships with the 8th Gen Intel Core i3-8130U mobile processor.
Q: How much does it weight? Is it portable?
A: This laptop is portable. I find it incredibly light, and often forget it's in the bag and send myself into a panic thinking I left it somewhere.
