Lenovo V330-14ARR (81B1001EUK) 14" Laptop AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 2.0GHz / 3.6GHz Turbo Quad Core Processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Full HD Display, Windows 10

This is a very good laptop in terms of what you get for your money (very fast, quiet, decent keyboard). Only negatives are mentioned in previous reviews; the display is not good (poor viewing angles and not good colour range) and the battery is not very good. However, when considering the price and how quick the laptop is, I am willing to live with the display (I usually have my laptop plugged in so the battery does not bother me too much). I do not regret buying this laptop and recommend it to anyone. Other users have mentioned replacing the TN panel with an IPS panel - if anyone knows where I can buy the corrent IPS panel, please let me know. This would improve the screen and make the laptop almost perfect at a bargain price.

To start with, the only serious drawback I can think of for this laptop is the poor quality screen. It is noticeably dim, and almost always appears that you're looking at it from the wrong angle. Besides this, the build is of a decent quality, with the keyboard being surprisingly good and the laptop feeling light but solid.The main reason to buy this laptop in my case was the combination of SSD, small size, decent processor and low price. For my needs it is perfect. I use it as a productivity laptop for taking out of the house, running IDEs and other programs as well as word processing. It always runs fast for these tasks. I haven't tried to game on it, though I don't think it would be suitable for anything with graphics.Overall, unless you need something for gaming, something super powerful, or if you mainly want it to view media, I think this is an excellent find. For the price (£350 at time of buy), I haven't seen anything better.

Product was faulty. Returned and refunded with no problem.

Ryzen laptop unit.First day impression is impressive with almost full body build and decent writing keyboards.In terms of specs Ryzen is clear winner for most budget orientented build in terms of performance comparable to Intel alternatives such as 8200u series but not compared to Intel 1000x series.Positives:+ Excellent Budget Gaming machine for 720 low - med settings however if u're planning to buy budget laptopsnext year consider the newer generation laptops with Intel Xe Graphics or New Ryzen 4000 series.+ Upgradability for SSD/Ram/Additional Properietary Battery to ( Main:30wAh + SIde:39 wAh = Total: 69 wAh )+ Decent Keyboard typing experience+ Relatively light weight even with additional batteryMiddle Line:= Decent features and connections for portable laptops= 720 p camera is ok but definitely not for business only for casual video stream= Decent bass to the speakersNegatives:- Heavy consumption of battery under normal use leading to realistic battery life of 1 hr min for heavy use - 3 hrs max for light use with main battery however with the additional battery the battery life goes up to 4 hrs for heavy use and almost 8 hrs for light use.In high performance settings the power consumption is approx 1600mAh or nearly 16 Watts and considering the total amount with additional battery 69/16 = Below 4 hr of battery life for max performance ( gaming , intense tasks )In casual or battery saver settings the power consumption is relative to amount of programs, screen brightness, bluetooth and sound which is approx from 1000mAh - 1500mAh(10 Watt - 14Watt) ranges which will net u 69/10 = 6.9 ( 6 - 7 hrs ) max theoretical battery life but realistically around 5 - 6 hrs battery life for casual usage.- Battery drain or battery wear is bad. Within 3 - 4 months of casual usuage hsa led to 12% battery wear( Explanation: AMD CPU in general consumes more power compared to Intel conterparts thus less battery lifethan the Intel version of this laptop. )- TN Panel on 2018 release date you may upgrade if u can find alternative ips panels online- BackLight keyboard would've been an plus.

Nice and fast, decent case for the price. Screen not great but still good value.

Bought this as a family computer, really because Lenovo computing equipment is generally very good/well made and the specs of this particular machine (quad core, 8Gb RAM, 256Gb SSD) made it rather difficult to ignore.I've had it a few weeks now and really not at all disappointed. Its very very fast, well made and seems rather too good to be true for what it cost. Some have complained about the TN panel, but I find it perfectly decent.Really the only downside I've found is the battery. I suspect its just under-spec'd for the hardware contained and I suspect under sustained use if you got a couple of hours out of it you'd be doing well. It does however have an Ultrabay so the answer is probably to factor in purchasing the Ultrabay battery pack....but it then makes it a £500 machine and not such good value. Bar the battery though its very difficult to find any negatives at all.

I have this laptop delivered 3 days ago. At first it looked like a good machine but then I realized that the touchpad doesn't function as expected. The two finger scroll and two finger tap to right click doesn't work. I downloaded and installed drivers from lenovo support website. Also updated windows. Nothing worked. I am going to send it back.

I'd read that the screen isn't great, but since I'm using it for work - programming and Word - I thought it might well not matter for me. And that's working out so far! Just don't expect to use it in bright sunlight or anything, maybe use high contrast colors. It leaves the machine at a *very* good price for the hardware, I really like the 14'' screen size for portability, and 256 GB is a very workable SSD size. I like the outside appearance fine too personally, doesn't look flashy, didn't want it to.
