Outstanding value!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this laptop for my wife and she loves it. She uses it for the internet, word processing, club minutes and other word/picture projects. It’s very light and portable and has a large 1 T conventional hard drive that is made very fast due to its Intel Optane Memory. And, the price was right.

Pleased with Lenovo
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I intended on purchasing an HP Laptop to replace the one that just quit on me but the ones that I wanted were both out-of-stock. The sales guy suggested the Lenovo PC which is a first time purchase for me. I've been using it for about a month now. All is well and I'm really enjoying my purchase. I use the PC for basic functions and video streaming. I had the Geek Squad do the set up with Windows 10 and I had very little to figure out how to work when I got it home. Still working on getting the hang of the flat touch pad. My last one had pad and two front buttons. I'm pleased with the screen display, sound quality, quick start, ease of use and speed. I do find myself recharging the battery often but it charges up in reasonable time. All in all, I really like my purchase.

good for a low priced computor
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this computer to replace an older HP laptop on which the left hinge broke. The bad news is that ended up shorting out a wire and frying the hard drive. The Best Buy Geek Squad wasn't able to recover any data stored on it. The good news is this new Lenovo ideapad 330S, I think is a little bit cheaper than my previous laptop was but still is faster (download speed and opening files), the screen is bright and sharp and it is not as heavy to carry around.

Good for basic use email etc
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I originally purchased the HP Pavilion which had an i3 processor but it was too slow so I exchanged for the Lenovo 330S which has an i5 processor & the speed is much better. I did like the touch screen on the HP which Lenovo doesn’t have along with the keyboard backlighting but overall the Lenovo works well. I would recommend this laptop for the price and quality.

Awesome school computer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this computer for one of my soon to be 4th graders, triggered by an optional assignment to make a poster and give a talk from the third grade teacher. I absolutely did not want the triplets using my work laptop. I thought this one was pretty powerful for a beginner. It ends up doing games and graphics very well too. It has enough power to not be out dated too soon. The kids will likely start having writing assignments for which they need a computer more often next school year. I'm very satisfied with this purchase.

Great resolution and light weight
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, this computer appears to be everything I wanted. My Toshiba was 9 years old and it was time for a replacement. I'm amazed at how light this computer is. Although I was thinking of getting a touch screen, I am very happy with this keyboard. I have to say for the $ this computer is worth it! The battery doesn't seem to last too long before needing charged, but that appears to be with a lot of models.

Great laptop so far!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking to upgrade my very outdated laptop. This Lenovo laptop is doing exactly what I needed it to--the start up is quick, I can upload pictures easily and quickly plus it allows me to keep multiple tabs open all the time with no problems. Setup was relatively easy, the snags I have encountered are due more to my computer skills than the laptop. This laptop is incredibly lightweight compared to my last one and the battery life has been great. Overall, I am very pleased with my first Lenovo purchase!
