My laptop review
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have to say for a Lenovo to make this model after so many good ones is kind of disappointing. It is a bit slow and battery power doesn’t last more than 2.5 hours. You have to constantly have it connected so power doesn’t waste. Either the Wi-Fi is slow or the laptop itself? You get what you pay for. Also make sure you understand most laptops these days don’t come with Microsoft office so you must buy it separately.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Great overall!

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 that the device is performing. 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.

Rating not applicable, just started using.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It took a while to complete the computer setup, and the reason we purchased the computer now is to give us time to get used to Windows 10 before Dec. 31, 2019. I currently use it for internet use only but have enjoyed most of the new features I have found. At this time I do not know enough about the laptop to determine whether or not I would recommend it. Since the survey required a response to the recommendation question and did not include an option to say not sure, I checked "NO", although that is not the correct answer.

Posted .The Lenovo IdeaPad 330s-15 laptop does not have a touchscreen. With regard to the touchpad, you can make adjustments to the touchpad in your system settings. You can get there by clicking on the magnifying glass at the bottom left of your Windows 10 screen. Type "touchpad" in the search window. Select "Mouse & touchpad settings" from the list of choices. You can make general adjustments to the touchpad there. You can also select "Additional mouse options" for more detailed adjustments to the touchpad sensitivity by increasing the delay of the touchpad.
