Lenovo 330S-15IKB Laptop: Finish work quickly/ efficiently w/ 15-in. Lenovo laptop. The Intel Core i5 processor and 8GB RAM perform efficiently , and the 128GB drive is very quiet. Lenovo laptop w/ Dolby Audio has top quality sound f/ movies /games. It’s fast, user friendly and I’m enjoying it very much.

To date the laptop has performed commendably. This is my first purchase of a Lenovo product and I am impressed with it's overall quality and features. If you're looking for an affordable laptop for home and office, check this product out.

Sensible purchase that’s ready for me anytime I need it. It’s the right size for my desk and not heavy. Just what I needed.

I have owned this laptop for a few weeks now and I have to say that I am liking this a lot. First the good. The build quality is good with a relatively stiff plastic body and an aluminum lid. The screen bezels are also really thin. So while the screen is 15.6 inches, the overall size and weight are closer to that of a 14 inch laptop. The keyboard is great to use with nice, clicky keys, and no mushiness. It is also backlit, which is a nice surprise for the price. However, there is a number pad, meaning the majority of the keyboard is offset to the left. For me, this was annoying at first, but I got used to it. The trackpad is also fine if you turn up the sensitivity and speed on it. The best part of this laptop though is the performance. With a Core i5 processor, 8gb of RAM, and an SSD, this thing is lightning fast. I mainly use this for web browsing and with this power, I can have a ton of tabs open and Youtube videos can play in 4k without any slowdowns. I'm sure some light gaming would also work fine on this. However, there are 2 issues. First, the battery life is iffy. I average anywhere from 4 to 5 1/2 hours on a charge. This is ok, but I feel they could have put in a bigger battery. This is not a good laptop if you plan to travel a lot or need something for on the go. In addition, the screen is not too good. It's a 768p TN panel and it's as bad as you would expect. On an 11.6 inch screen, this resolution would be fine, but on a 15.6 inch, it's not good with nothing being sharp whatsoever. If you need something for video or photo editing, this is not the laptop for you. But in the end, for the price, you're getting powerful performance and a good typing experience. If you can overlook the small battery and low-end screen, then this a great laptop to buy. You're getting near $1,000 dollar performance for 1/2 the price, or less if you get an open-box model like I did.

I needed a laptop for work, and I spent weeks trying to find an affordable unit with decent specs. This model eventually went on sale below $500, so I decided to take the plunge. It's been almost one month since I made the purchase, and I couldn't be happier with my Lenovo. The i5 processor and 8 GB of RAM is sufficient for everything I've used it for so far (mostly programming and related tasks, I have not tried any gaming yet), and the 128 SSD has the OS booting up incredibly fast. I happily accept the speed-for-space tradeoff made here, and you could always get an external SSD if you require more storage. It's more than enough for my purposes. The build quality is actually pretty nice. It's lightweight, sturdy, and quiet as a mouse. The keys feel a little cheap, but honestly, typing is a breeze and feels fine. I understand that there are some choices made in the keyboard layout which other users are not too fond of, but all seems fine to me. The touchpad is quite responsive, and you have a lot of options at your disposal. I purchased a mouse with this computer, as I normally can't stand using touchpads, but this one is actually very intuitive with a few tweaks made in the settings. The screen feels a bit washed-out, but I don't notice it most of the time. It might be an issue for photo/video editing. The Midtown Charlotte location may still have it on display, so you can check it out in person. One last thing to mention is the battery life, which is superb. It seems to last for hours and hours, and you have multiple options for balancing conservation and performance. It also charges very quickly. In summary, if you are looking for a competent, budget-friendly laptop, I would highly recommend taking this Lenovo for a spin. The specs featured in this model compare with entry-level Surface Books and MacBook Pros that cost twice as much. I do not normally write product reviews online, but I am so impressed with this product that I felt compelled to do so. Happy hunting.

This is one of the better budget laptops within the price range. I've checked the specs of all the other laptops (6/15/18) and this one was the better of the bunch. Thanks to AMD's competitive Ryzen processors, Intel was forced to step up their game so now this i5 is a quad-core processor. The display is essentially similar to a 720p screen which is a bit disappointing. It contains 8GB of ram so it can handle a fair amount of concurrent applications running. It also has a 128GB SSD so the computer is able to boot up as well as load applications really fast. The only downside to this is the storage size since it's a small 120GB. The operating system takes up about 30GB so you're left with around 90GB of storage to use. Processor: 4/5 Screen: 3/5 RAM: 4/5 Storage size: 3/5 Performance: 4/5

Snappy laptop with some solid specs for the price. Did not come loaded with bloatware which was a big plus to me. It's quite a bit thicker/heavier than I was expecting based on the photos but that's not a huge deal. If you're only going to be browsing the web and watching content online You're probably going to be better off with an i3 model and saving some cash. Do be warned however this does NOT have the fingerprint scanner as shown in the photos. I was rather vexed when I got home and opened up the box to find it was not there. Update your photos Best Buy so other people don't buy something expecting it to be what's shown and get something different. That was a feature I planned on using, but honestly it's not worth the hassle of returning it and finding a new laptop.

I like this computer a lot, but can only give it 4I*because of the battery life. You only get about 3 hours battery life, less if u are doing more than just surfing the web. Also when the power gets under 10% the computer will not stay on. Laptops to me sjhould have better battery life. I believe when i was researching computers, the battery life was said to be longer, Everything this else is great, so if battery doesn't bother you, I think thisnis a great computer for the price

This is a great laptop for the price. Although on the small side, the inclusion of an SSD makes this a speedy laptop. The only downside (if this matters to you) is that the display is not a 1080p display. As this will be used for work in my case, it doesn't make a difference in how Excel spreadsheets will look. If you're on a budget and don't mind the slightly lower resolution, make sure you give this a consideration.

We were looking for a light and thin 15.6-inch basic notebook computer with a solid state drive and Intel i5 processor under $500 and this fit the bill perfectly! Even has a lighted keyboard and a numeric keypad which my wife needed as a teacher to enter data that other higher end computers did not have. It has 3 USB ports and a SD Memory Card Reader and you can easily add extra RAM if you need it. The 128GB solid state drive is sufficient and we can always expand using an inexpensive SD memory card or memory in the cloud so that's really not an issue. Would have been nice to have 1920 x 1080 resolution but with a smaller 15.6 screen the 1366 x 768 resolution is more than adequate for our use. It's not meant to be a gaming computer and if it had a larger solid state hard drive and higher 1080 resolution it would cost a lot more than $449 on sale....which was a bargain for a thin, lightweight, solid state laptop with an Intel i5 processor, lighted keypad and numeric keypad!

This was my first major purchase as a young adult. I did a lot of research and talked with professors & professionals to see if Solid State was worth the extra $$. I am the kind of person that does not keep a lot of documents/pictures so the loss of storage was not a problem for me. I moved the pictures and documents I do have to Google Drive and haven't had any issues. Great computer, starts up and powers down quickly, quiet, and runs programs perfectly. Would and will recommend.

This is a laptop that has too much for a regular student or child, but doesn't have enough frills for business or enthusiasts. Consider the core of what you need, and if that is: a fast processor, at least 8GB of RAM, and NVMe SSD... then this laptop could be for you. There are some compromises that you have to make. First, I think the market price is a little too high, so consider waiting for a sale or going for the Ryzen 5 version. Second, the screen resolution is 1366x768 which is not ideal for work that requires lots of vertical space. If you think you can handle these things, consider purchasing the laptop. It also has nice battery management software, which can conserve battery capacity but also allow for fast charging.

Bought this computer for my grandson who was starting college. He loves it and it is so lightweight and easy to carry. We had the Geek Squad Service and Security added just in case. He loves it! It was on sale which saved us money and has the lit keyboard option so it's easy to use when the lights aren't bright enough.

This laptop is very impressive. It has a solid processor and has the extra like light up keyboard, solid state hard drive, etc. I actually bought this for gaming. Not hard core shooter kind of games, but things like WoW and EVE Online. It performs pretty well and does the job when I'm on the go.

Perfect for what I need - web surfing, MS Office, etc. Didn’t want to spend much because don’t use laptop too much these day. The price of this one was good and memory, speed are great for the price. Backlit keyboard is a bit of a bonus. Would recommend!

We use the same brand laptop at school, and at my husbands company. We’ve always gone with Dell in the past, but have had issues with their batteries &hard drives in recent years. The SSD is cooler and quieter by far than anything we’ve ever had at home.

Bought this laptop after my Toshiba Satellite (ancient) gave out. I really like Lenovos after using one for work at my previous job. This one has everything I need. I use the USB ports and HDMI almost daily. For internet connection it's a bit slower than I'd expected. It often needs updates, so check that regularly. It's not much of a bother, but sometimes when things don't work right, you'll know it's because there's another update. It's very sleek and I love that it is lightweight. I would recommend this laptop to students, teachers, and anyone that wants a good working laptop for everyday and regular use.

I was looking for a lappy to replace our dell desktop that was about 10 years old. I couldn’t be any happier with this lappy. The solid state drive is awesome and the speed of the lappy is great. Would definitely recommend to my pal’s and my confidantes.

Purchased on recommendation of my son. Had all the features to meet my needs, reasonable storage and good price. A little heavier than I would have liked, but because of screen size, had to accept more weight.

I was looking for a budget laptop with a 15-inch screen and an SSD, and this fits the bill perfectly. The screen is 1366x768, which some people consider low resolution but was just what I was looking for. It's a matte screen, which I much prefer to a glossy one. Performance is above-average for a laptop at this price. Very light for a budget 15-inch model. The 128GB SSD is a bit smaller than I needed, but I got a low-profile SD adapter and stuck a microSD card in there semi-permanently, addressing any storage issues. Trackpad is very good, keyboard is fine. The compromises in this machine are in all the right places to fit my needs.
