    I like this product, it was a great value for the money. It is extremely light, and has a sturdy feel. The solid state drive makes the computer extremely cool to the touch, so you do not have to worry about the heat like you would from normal laptops. I gave it 3 stars for two reasons. The touchpad can get annoying at times as it often has a hard time distinguishing between left and right mouse clicks. It also has a hard time with running more than a few browser windows on Microsoft edge. Both of these problems are solvable. For the touch pad issue, use a mouse. For the speed problem, add some ram (I added 8gb by ordering it online, and following the instructions from another reviewer of this product, it took me 15 minutes with no professional experience, all you need is a tiny screwdriver) Two things I would like to mention: The battery is built into the computer The computer comes in S mode. I hope this information helps.

      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. Please keep in mind, this model is not user upgradable. A certified technician must do all of the work, so as to not void the warranty. Lenovo

    The laptop works good the way it comes. I upgraded the ram which made a huge difference. The problem I have is that the Bluetooth connection drops often. I use a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard and I constantly have to go to the settings to reconnect. It’s very frustrating.

      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 330s-15 laptop. Regarding your issue with the Bluetooth connectivity within this model, which is the Bluetooth 4.1 version, this model is not user upgradable. A certified technician must do all of the work, so as to not void the warranty. Be sure your upgrade did not effect the Bluetooth chip functionality. You can check the software controlling the Bluetooth function to be sure it is up to date. First, check to be sure you have the latest version of Windows 10 on the computer, then be sure all of the BIOS files and drivers, including those controlling the Bluetooth function, are up to date. This system has Lenovo utilities installed to help maintain the health of the device and keep the operating system software up to date. Type "Lenovo Vantage" in the Cortana Search window (if Lenovo Vantage is not installed on your device, you can download the APP and install it now). Select Lenovo Vantage from the list. In the window that opens, click on "Health and Support". In the expanded menu, select "Hardware Scan" In the window that opens, select "Run Quick Tests". This will scan your entire system for errors. Follow any directions that may pop up. If the problem continues after this scan, now click on "System Update". First select Windows update from the menu. Scan your system to be sure you have the latest version of Windows 10. Once that scan is complete, select "Additional Updates". This will scan your device to be sure there are no new BIOS/Driver updates needed. Follow any instructions that may pop up. Lenovo

    I purchased this laptop for online classes. The salesman recommended it but did not mention that it came in s mode which only allows Microsoft product downloads. My online classes required several non Microsoft products so I was forced to switch off s mode. Other than that, I've been happy with the product. It's fast and has long battery life
