Lenovo Ideapad 330 opinions?

darealsoulless · December 12, 2018

I recently bought a new laptop, the Lenovo Ideapad 330-15ARR. Mine is equipped with the Ryzen 3 2200U processor, 8GB of RAM and a 1TB old-school hard drive. I paid about 300 dollars for it on bestbuy.com, and I feel very satisfied with it. I'd like to know from everyone else, as I have not been keeping up with the tech industry lately, and I have yet to learn AMD and Intel's new naming schemes, so I am unsure if the Ryzen 3 is a decently capable processor. From what I have experienced, this is by far one of the best laptops I have ever owned. It feels pretty quick, and after removing what very little crapware came installed, it runs great. It's very quiet, and does not get very warm with how I use it. My usage is fairly basic, some foruming, video watching, general browsing, and listening to music. What do you guys think? Did I get a good laptop for the money in the eyes of someone who is a little more update with the latest hardware than I am?

Have had experience with the Lenovo IdeaPad 100s and I would say that it is similar to this one although with lower specifications. I think that the keyboard, track-pad, and display of the laptop are well designed and the only thing which I would like to see an improvement on would be on the battery life aspect. This model lineup in general is good for value in general and hosts some really good budget priced options. Although, not really designed for gaming or high performance computational tasks specifically.
