Review on Lenovo 330S 15.6 Core i3 8130U 128GB: Enhanced Performance & Storage Experience by Karen Nahm ᠌

Great working machine for home/office. I bought version 20SM003TRU, with i5-1035/8Gb/SSD256/Intel UHD630/IPS and several useful options. Like almost any Lenovo, a beautiful island keyboard (which was important for work), also backlit. For the suspicious, there is a shutter on the camera; for quick login, there is a fingerprint scanner built into the power button. The laptop is well balanced - Win10 got up in 7-8 minutes, another 20 minutes to install the software and the computer was ready to work - the performance of the processor is enough for the eyes for ordinary home or office tasks, RAM can be added if desired, M.2 for 256 gig from Intel, in tests, showed an average of 2100 Mbit / s for reading / writing of course it can be replaced, and as a nice bonus - specifically in this configuration there is a place for installing an HDD, I did not open it to check it, but the documentation from the official site is unambiguous speaks of this possibility. Autonomy is not bad, but of course not as stated by the manufacturer. In normal office mode (working with the office, browsing, watching a little video), about 6-6.5 hours live on a single charge at maximum display brightness, which in my opinion is very good for a large laptop. Native charging charges in about 1h.10m. up to 100%. In general, "on paper" this is an ordinary laptop, but since it is from the Think line, everything is done in good faith - the build quality is a cut above acer / asus / hp for similar money. There is no backlash anywhere, the cover is hinged on a durable alloy of metals, the key travel is soft and precise, there is not a single gap anywhere in the body, a wonderful anti-glare IPS display, if you take the edge on the side (as if at a break) and sharply raise it - not a single superfluous sound or squeak, that is, the laptop is straight monolithic. The gray color is not the most popular, but the pleasant texture and non-staining of the surface are a big plus for me - the laptop always looks good, clean. Of course, such a config is sold by competitors for a little less money, but the same quality of performance is unlikely. I definitely recommend buying.
