Lenovo Chromebook S330 Laptop, 14-Inch FHD Display, MediaTek MT8173C, 4GB RAM, 64GB Storage, Chrome OS

I have had this one for a while and it works perfectly fine.

Lenovo Chromebook 330S: Excellent value for the money, wanted to replace a capable but heavy Lenovo Thinkpad that I was carrying from school to home. I use an ipad daily in classroom teaching, but was limited by compatibility issues with school's Smartboard and other equipment. For creating and editing documents, compatibility issues abounded with the loathsome Word for ios and Google Docs can't come close to the flexibility of creating documents in standard-version Word. I worried that there is little-to-no storage on Chromebooks, but adding a micro SSD card allows for onboard, sleekly integrated storage, which can supplement cloud storage or an external drive if desired. Solid feel to keyboard, bright crisp picture, very fast internet and processing speed. USB-C can charges in both directions, adapters (to USB-A or other port types) allow charging of other devices without their dedicated chargers. This model came with HDMI. I would add a dedicated 'delete' key and touchscreen capability.

I don't understand all the negative reviews about the screen. It's not the BEST laptop screen I've ever used, but FAR from the worst. And for less than $250? Are you guys kidding me? Are you expecting an ipad pro level screen?The laptop is solid even though it's plastic, I'm not worried about putting this thing in my backpack. While the keyboard is a little stiff for my taste, it works well. I'm just used to my mechanical keyboard on my desktop. I can write and do some coding perfectly fine and that's how I would describe this chromebook:Perfectly fine.Solid.Reliable.Lenovo-quality.I might as well be in one of their commercials, but Lenovo has never failed me.The negatives?The screen can be a BIT wobbly when I adjust it, but that's minor. It doesn't wobble when I type, which would make me want to return it. A couple more ports would be nice as well as an SD card slot that allows the SD card to completely insert. This one, the card sticks out halfway.Battery life is great, can go for hours at the library without needing to be plugged in and I'm using a higher brightness. I'm not doing anything intensive, just chrome tabs, spotify, watching Youtube.If you need a laptop to take care of your internet needs and basic computer needs, this is a solid one for the price. If you need stronger hardware, then spend at least 400-500. However, if you're already spending that much money, it might be better to get a Windows machine, unless you LOVE Chromebooks.I love Chrome OS for what it is. Fast, lightweight, and cost-effective. That's the name of the game. If you buy this laptop, or any laptop a this price, then don't expect a thousand-dollar plus experience and then leave horrible reviews. This is a solid chromebook, especially for the price. I'll be keeping this one for a long while and give it to a family member when it's time for me to upgrade.

I've wanted a Chromebook for years, but could never really justify the purchase...until recently. I've been taking some trips out of town, and needed to be available for work, just in case, but I didn't want to risk taking my work laptop with me on the trips. So, I bought this Chromebook. I use Chrome Remote Desktop to control my work laptop, which is sitting at home, and it's been a great experience. With a good WIFI connection, It feels just like I'm working on the remoted machine. The keyboard feels good, and I'm able to type just fine. I thought I'd be missing having function keys, but there's a system setting to treat the top row of icon keys as if they were F1 - F10, and it works great. If I want to use whatever the icon for that key is supposed to do, I just press the search key (just above the shift key) to use those keys. Apart from needing this for work, most of what I use the computer for is web-related stuff; looking things up, email, watching videos, etc. This works great for that. I'm amazed that a machine for just over $200 can do everything I need to do. The screen is a little washed out, color-wise, but after a couple of days, I don't even notice that any more. The battery life is amazing. I've been working on it now for a couple of hours, and it says I've still got 9 hours of battery left.

This is a good value for a budget machine. Its austere plastic body probably wouldn't survive much abuse but it does have a mat texture that wards off finger prints. It's nice to have the 14" 1920 x 1080 mat screen and thin bezel. On a full charge I can go eight hours editing text while streaming music from wi-fi to bluetooth headphones and leave a good third of the battery remaining. It comes with Google Drive of course but I easily synced Dropbox as well using a free third party app. What I like most is that now you can install Linux apps. No need for Crouton. You just open a terminal in Chrome OS and type something like "sudo apt install libreoffice" say, and you end up with a new shortcut that you can pin to the "shelf" (taskbar) and from there said app can be launched, all while never leaving the Chrome OS desktop. You can keep a separate storage space for your Linux data or "share" your Google Drive data with Linux. So you can for example use Linux's Libre Office Write to open and save a file directly from/to the cloud, preserving the Chrome OS thin-client motif.

Compre esta chromebook hace ya casi un año, estoy mas que satisfecho con el producto, tiene todo lo que buscaba, aclaro es mi primer chromebook, para mi trabajo uso exclusivamente el equipo que me proporciona mi trabajo, mi chromebook es exclusiva para mi tiempo libre, hablo de una 'computadora' que para iniciar o apagar no tarda mas de 5 seg, uso exclusivamente Chrome como explorador el cual se sincroniza con mis otros productos android, no guardo informacion en la chromebook mas que en drive, la bateria le puede durar hasta 10 hrs si usas el minimo de luz en la pantalla, no tiene ranuras de ventilador asi que no esperes que se caliente, si corre aplicaciones de celular e igual programas sobre linux, algo limitados por parte del procesador, pero si hablamos de libre office, gimp corre sin ningun problema. si buscas un equipo solo para usar el explorador, ver documentos, peliculas o hasta para escribir es lo mejor que puedes conseguir por el precio (cuando la compre se encontraba en menor precio).UPDATEes cierto hay forma que una actualizacion salga mal, provocando que no muestre imagen. pero parece mas culpa de uno como usuario por no reiniciarla seguido (tarda segundos el proceso).se puede conectar un monitor hdmi para ver el escritorio, se soluciona usando el comando rollback en la terminal para revertir la ultima actualizacion.ctrl+alt+t y escribir 'rollback' lo soluciona.la sigo usando, es mala para discord video, pero no falla en zoom.

Home use

The computer was delivered extremely punctually from United States, but some of the gloss was lost when the charger cord would not fit. It is presumably for US power points, having - two parallel mains prongs, and a round earth pin. It is useless here. Fortunately, I had another cord, and so can use the computer.It is not clear to me how to obtain a new one from Amazon, but if I can't, will ask Choice to see what can be done.

Me gusto es un producto muy fácil de usar

I live in Singapore and ordered this product. At first, I was very happy, it did as I expected it to do. However, after a while the WiFi chip broke down; this was confirmed also by a lengthy support call with Lenovo US. However, when I brought the laptop to the official Lenovo store here in Singapore, they were unable/unwilling to help out, as there are no Chromebooks in Singapore. Basically, the product is almost useless now (theoretically usable with tethering the phone using USB, so that no WiFi is used).I strongly discourage to buy this product if the Lenovo representation in your country won't help you in in case of a problem. For other countries, this may not be an issue.
