Review on Lenovo IdeaPad 330 15.6" HD Laptop - Intel Dual-Core i3-8130U, 8GB DDR4, 1TB HDD, Windows 10, HDMI - Ideal for Business Use by Siu Kim ᠌

I have a fairly common Lenovo IdeaPad 330-15ARR-81D200DYRU model. Ryzen 5 2500U, Radeon 540 with 2Gb of memory, RAM 6Gb, HDD 1Tb WDC. There is no SSD, but there is a FullHD display and Windows 10 64bit. Plus, the body is silver. Almost Apple! In short, compact and beautiful. And simple. Nothing extra. Including - inside. Processor - SOC. There is neither a north bridge nor a south bridge. No additional chips. An external video accelerator - if it exists - with its memory soldered, 4Gb of RAM - soldered on the motherboard, plus - there is one connector for an additional RAM panel. The connector is closed with an aluminum cover, which is too firmly fixed to the motherboard. A Wi-Fi module is inserted into a separate slot - near the processor. There are no M2 connectors. Quiet enough. The performance of the Vega 8 internal accelerator (I have a Ryzen 5 2500U) is enough for all my games. It pulls both Dishonored 2 and the first two modern Wolfensteins. It also pulls quite heavy strategies, albeit with an effort. When working with those from the outside - I just have 540, without X - it's already much better. But still - Vega - enough. Moreover, the well-known club from Vladik, either Vega 10 or Radeon itself, gave 536 points in the Time Spy test , and I got more than 562. On the Notebook-check website, both processors have even more. There are only two full size USB ports. But they are both (!) - with the function of fast charging and version 3.1. Say goodbye to USB 2.0! There is one USB 3.1 type c. It is convenient to hang a splitter on it. There is no DVD, you can put an SSD in there, the adapter for which is inexpensive on ALI. The keyboard is comfortable, after ASUS and DEXP laptops it took a very short time to get used to. However, I have two tablets, plus a mobile phone, which is why I'm used to it. Adapted quickly. Buttons Caps Lock, Num Lock, etc. - with lights! Exhaust of the cooling system - under the display. The flash drive does not heat up. Already good!
