This laptop has been wonderful. As a CS major my son needed a faster replacement for his old laptop. The i5's fit our current budget and Lenovo brands were rated highly. With this one on sale, we couldn't resist. My son loves it and it's worked perfectly for his current needs.

I bought this laptop because I started a class on Monday and my last laptop died on Saturday. It is an average laptop, I would definitely buy another. The only reason why I give 4 stars is because the battery life is horrible. It doesn't even last a full day. Granted, I purchased this laptop open box, so who knows how long the first owner had it, and a battery isn't a huge purchase, you just never expect to have to buy one so soon.

Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 330-17 laptop. This system has a battery life of up to 5 hours, depending on the work that the device is performing. Be sure there are no unwanted programs running in the background, draining the battery. Here is a link to some tips for finding out what is draining your battery: https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/battery-saver-windows-10. If there are no unwanted programs running, to maximize battery life, try changing your power management setting to a more conservative one. You can do this in the control panel, in the power management category on your system. Select a more conservative power management setting to extend battery life.

I needed a replacement for my ASUS laptop so I bought this one. After 3 years of daily use my old laptop was winding down. I had some reservations about buying a Lenovo based on experiences a family member had with one of their cheaper models, but I have to say this laptop has exceeded my expectations! The screen is huge so it’s great for watching tv or movies. It’s got enough ram for me to use multiple programs at the same time. My only gripe is that the power button is one of the keys on the keyboard. I’d rather have it be embedded in the keyboard so I can’t accidently turn off the computer.

The screen is nice and big. I have two complaints: 1st, there are only 2 USB ports. 2nd the upper row keys, to use the F3, F4 etc, I must press the 'fn' key first. Because of this, I purchased a normal keyboard. Other keyboards I have do not require this.

Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 330-17 laptop. If you need more USB ports for this device, you might want to consider using a USB Hub with this device. The function keys on your IdeaPad 330-17 are dual function; they act as HotKeys (shortcut keys for often/popular functions) and standard Function keys. You can reverse this selection within the system BIOS. Here is a link to instructions for doing this: https://superuser.com/questions/1221447/make-function-keys-behave-as-normal-on-a-lenovo-laptop

I got this when it was on sale for 429. For that price this machine has everything I need and then some. It would be nice if it had an additional USB port or two, but otherwise, i perfect. I haven't been able to find a better value than this.

Love the huge screen and 10key. Ok not issue I've had is a small crack in the bezel of the monitor. I heard and felt it happen when i picked up the closed laptop with 1 hand. Doesn't affect performance.

I wanted to replace my old Lenovo with something newer, without breaking the bank - this laptop absolutely did that. It's a huge laptop, which I didn't realize when ordering, but I've gotten used to it. It's a little slow to boot, but not too bad and is zippy when doing anything. The only thing I miss is the trackpoint from my old Thinkpad, but this is really a great machine for the price - especially if it's on sale.

I was definitely attracted to this laptop because of the 17” screen. I also didn’t need a high power gaming machine. The main reason I purchased this laptop was the price and the fact that Steam abandoned all users of Windows XP. I had a desktop with Windows XP that I used for gaming through Steam. I found that older games ran well in that environment. So when Steam abandoned me I had a lot of older games that did not require a powerhouse machine. I’ve been quite pleased with the Leveno’s ability to run these games and since it has Windows 10 installed it is still compatible with the Steam client (for now at least). The laptop also runs smoothly and has great sound. I couldn’t be happier.

I replaced the 1TB HDD with a 250GB SSD, and installed Linux Mint 19 and a couldn't ask for much more performance-wise from a machine in this price range. It would have been great if a smaller SSD was included instead of the big HDD in the first place. The 17" screen is great for my aging eyes, but many would probably want more resolution on a screen of this size. For my purposes, it will be great.

I replaced a 10 year old Dell laptop- 17 inch screen. It is amazing the advancement in technology over the 10 years. This was the only laptop with 17 inch screen that I could find with the features that I wanted, including disc drive. Eighth generation i5 processor is fast enough for my needs,. Sales clerk was also helpful in reinforcing my choice of this laptop after I discussed the features I wanted.
