Benefits
- Unnoticeable in the bag. Measuring 20.18cm by 25.1.8cm by 0.96 cm (D×W×H) and weighing 2.19kg, this notebook appears small and light making it easy to move around.
- Fascinating craftsmanship. Though it would without stress pass for an aluminium build (which isn’t quite true) by virtue of its polished platinum gray frame, it artistically employs a metallic construction.
- Voluminous storage for your files. With 1 TB HDD storage upgradable to 2 TB SATA HDD, you can get to store thousands of videos, photos and files, as well as use your notebook as an offline backup. You can also merge a 128/256 GB SSD with 1 TB HDD to enjoy the combined benefits of shorter boot-up times, faster data transfer speed as well as a large data reservoir.
- Realistic Visual-Audio experience. With a minimally high 720p resolution on a 15.6’’ display combined with Dolby Audio, the IdeaPad 330 serves you to an energetic entertainment experience.
- Optional DVD drive. The IdeaPad 330 comes with a DVD drive that lets you enjoy your hardcopy movies and music.

- Low Display Resolution: Lenovo adopted a lower resolution (1366 × 768) TN panel in comparison to other rivals like the Acer Aspire E5-576-392H which offers a Display Resolution Maximum of 1920 × 1080.
- Performance not exactly terrific. This Lenovo IdeaPad 330 is equipped with a 2.3 GHz Intel i3-7020U, 4GB of RAM, 1TB storage and Integrated Intel HD Graphics 630 and with these chips, it definitely isn’t designed for high graphic workloads but it delivers adequate performance for standard office and internet applications, can also manage minimal multi-tasking.
- Poor battery capacity. The Lenovo IdeaPad 330 15.6 inch notebook fails to impress on its battery life. With a claim to an average of 6 hours battery time, it normally offers just over 3 hours in typical use after a single charge.
Verdict

But, If you want something portable to do the short and simple tasks, then you should seriously consider this IdeaPad 330.
