Posted .The Lenovo IdeaPad 330s-15 laptop ships with a 2CELL 30WH, Lithium Polymer Battery, with a battery life of up to 7 hours, depending on the work the device is performing. If you are getting less battery life, first, be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. Incompatible software will drain your battery quicker. There is no need to install Microsoft Office software. The software is already part of the operating system, you just need to activate the software with a purchased product key. If you have installed a copy of Microsoft Office, this is conflicting with the existing copy on the system and this will slow your system down. If you have installed a 3rd party anti-virus program, be sure that Windows Defender is turned off and that the trial version of McAfee Anti-Virus software is uninstalled. There can only be one anti-virus program on the system. You may need to restore your system to original factory default settings if any of the programing errors have occurred. You can do that by typing "restore" in the Cortana search window. Just click on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom left of your Windows 10 Desktop. Click on "Reset This PC" Then click on "Get Started" and follow the on screen directions to restore to factory defaults. If there is no incompatible software installed, to maximize battery life, first adjust your battery saver settings. Here is a link to instruction for doing this in Windows 10:  https://www.digitalcitizen.life/how-use-configure-battery-saver-windows-10. Next, to maximize battery life, 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. Also, 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. Finally, if the battery life does not improve, a battery reset may help. Here is a link to instructions for reconditioning a non-removable battery, using the Battery Management Software installed on the computer. If you need further assistance, we recommend you call Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686. Here is the link: https://windowsreport.com/laptop-battery-not-charging-windows-10/

Excellent computer, certainly for my needs.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I searched around for a while before settling on this computer. My needs are limited: email, a little word processing, internet searching and an occasional streaming movie. I store very little. This is great. Well made. Thanks to Microsoft and McAfee, it was more difficult to set up than I thought it should be; Comcast provides Norton for free. All in all, another good purchase from Best Buy. I will note that first salesman got a detail wrong (aluminum not plastic) and was too forward in selling other add-ons. When I returned, knowing clearly what I wanted and what I did not want, it was all as could be.

Posted .Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 330s-15 laptop. This model number 81F5018EUS, ships with a polished aluminum cover and a plastic case. The Lenovo IdeaPad 330s-15 model ships with just two adware programs, a 30-day trial of Microsoft Office 365 (as part of Windows 10 operating system) and a 30-day trial of McAfee virus protection. Lenovo computers ship with one of the cleanest factory software installs within the consumer computer industry. You do not have to use the McAfee virus protection. Just uninstall McAfee before you install your choice of virus protection software as there can only be one anti-virus program running on the computer.
