Review of Lenovo’s new notebook Ideapad 330S, with simple design and powerful performance. Owning a high-quality notebook is equivalent to having a versatile device that can be carried around.
Lenovo gave away a Lenovo Ideapad 330S ao showmetech for testing and after a few weeks of use, I now bring you a complete review of the device, focusing on its main qualities and some elements that can be improved to ensure a better user experience.
Organize and designSimplicity best defines the design of the Ideapad 330S. The unit used in this analysis is the color variant Metallic Blue. The Lenovo logo is strategically placed on the left side of the device, giving it as clean a look as possible.
Ideapad 330sWith a minimalist touch, the Lenovo logo is hidden in the laptop’s design.
The laptop’s finish is a nice mix of polished aluminum (on the display lid) and plastic (on the body). When you start using the device, you’ll notice that the build quality is very good, although there’s an odd feeling when pressing into the empty space next to the trackpad. The bottom of the device is well balanced, so there’s no problem with one side of the laptop feeling heavier than the other. Additionally, the small rubber on the base of the Ideapad 330S keeps it secure when placed on a desk.
As we have already mentioned, the laptop comes with a 15.6-inch screen with a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels. While most laptop manufacturers skimp on screen quality, that’s certainly not the case with the Ideapad 330S, and its screen ends up being another of its highlights. The screen rotates in Full HD de 1920 × 1080 resolution, maintaining its quality no matter what you choose to do with it. It has a matte finish which also ensures the screen doesn’t reflect light sources behind you and reduces glare .In terms of brightness, the Ideapad 330S’s peak brightness is below average, so much so that even watching videos indoors requires turning the brightness to maximum.
There’s no need to get too excited about color accuracy, considering the screen only covers about 50% of the sRGB color space. Even so, the color gamut is more than adequate for the average consumer and is good for gaming and movies.
Keyboard and touchpadThe keyboard is a very good aspect of the 330S. It was a little hard to get used to the soft and low-profile keys at first, but after a few days it became very comfortable to type on. Another keyboard feature I spent some time learning were the directional arrow keys, which are squeezed a bit to fit the rectangular outline of the keyboard.
Ideapad 330sOne strange feature of the keyboard is that by holding down the “Fn” key, the main functions of the “F1” to “F12” keys can be accessed, that is, by pressing the function keys directly, the user can change the sound settings, connect to WiFi, brightness wait. This change is useful when using your laptop display in full screen or playing games.
Ideapad 330s Despite this, the touchpad responds smoothly to mouse movements and gestures, ensuring optimal user response and sensitivity.
One of the biggest highlights of this laptop is its cutout, which allows the device’s screen to rotate up to 180 degrees. There are very few moments where this feature proves useful, but I believe there are situations in the demo where this extra twist could be quite important. In terms of connectivity, the Ideadap 330S supports Wi-Fi AC e Bluetooth 4.1. additionally, the device comes with two speakers. 2W, responsible for audio output, and a sub-3-cell lithium polymer Lenovo Ideapad 330S laptop battery .
During testing, audio quality was satisfactory, butperformance and hardwareThe Lenovo Ideapad 330S is a solid and durable machine. It has a new CPU Intel Core i5-8250U 8th generation, 8 GB RAM DDR4, a GPU AMD Radeon 535 com 2 GB GDDR5 memory. Additionally, it comes with 1TB HDD 5,400 RPM.
After several weeks of using the laptop as my primary work and leisure machine, I can safely say that it handles nearly every program I use and games I play with relative ease and performs well.
First, we’re talking about using multiple programs open at the same time: 25 to 30 Google Chrome open, Telegram, Microsoft Word, and a heavy-duty Microsoft Visual Studio to test the speed of interpreting and compiling programs.
However, it’s clear that the lack of an SSD does hurt the overall user experience, as there are some minor “stutters” that occur at different times of use.
Putting aside the slower startup speed of Windows 10 (which comes pre-installed on the machine), copying or transferring large amounts of files is also a very slow experience. These are all problems that SSDs can easily solve.
gameIf you are an experienced gamer, the Ideapad 330S may not be the best choice for you. Even though the laptop comes with one of AMD’s best graphics cards and 2 GB of discrete memory, the machine’s performance in current games falls short of expectations.
In our tests, we used recent games that require a lot of machine power to run properly for the user. First, we tested The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.The adventures of Geralt the Witcher are mediocre. On high settings, the game stayed around 20-25 FPS most of the time. Even with the lower frame rate, there aren’t too many glitches or crashes when playing the game.
Compared with other notebooks with the same CPU, the IdeaPad 330S’s gaming performance is much worse. However, if the device user is a student or office worker, the performance of the laptop will be enough for your needs.IdeaPad 330S battery lifeIn our laptop tests, the Ideapad 330S battery lasted about 3 hours and 30 minutes using the PCMark 8 Home Battery Life analysis program. The short runtime can be attributed to the presence of the AMD GPU, as it consumes more power than the Intel integrated graphics chip.
If you can get past these shortcomings (and an SSD isn’t that necessary), the Lenovo IdeaPad 330S will be a good choice for those looking for a general-purpose portable device that can handle their most digital needs. return on investment. From approx. R$ 3.199,00
