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 Aashit Shandilya ᠌

Intel Core i3 8130U 2200 MHz/15.6"/1920x1080/8GB/1128GB HDD+SSD/DVD no/NVIDIA GeForce MX150/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/DOS This is the only laptop on the market under 40k that has everything described in the merits, in one case. I took for 38. And in this budget there is simply nothing to choose from. For 4 months of work, defects and other problems have not been identified. There are similar ones, but without an SSD, for example, and with 4GB. And everything would be fine, one could add, that's just the m.2 connector on the board, in such models (without SSD) it is not soldered. I really don't want to go without an SSD. It is possible and Celeron, half the price. Other manufacturers, in this budget, have typewriters with a poor appearance. This bundle of Core i3 8130U + NVIDIA GeForce MX150 allows you to play games (without fanaticism) of the fallout 4 level. No problem - at settings close to high. There is no need to talk about other tasks - there are no complaints. For most everyday tasks, the Core i3 8130U is even better than the Core i5 8250U. Since the base frequency of the cores is higher (2.2GHz vs. 1.6GHz). 1.6GHz today is very small. Although the Core i5 8250U has more cores, in fact, they make little sense, because they need cooling to overclock. In budget series of laptops, with these problems. Therefore, in most scenarios, the processor will operate at stock frequencies (see reviews). Bottom line: a great workhorse for little money. Lenovo + to karma.
