84% Lenovo Chromebook S330 review: A 14-inch Chromebook with mediocre performance and battery
Source: Techaeris English Archive.org version
While the screen size and resolution on the Lenovo Chromebook S330 is nice, I suspect it largely contributes to the sluggish performance of the device. Even at the sale price, it is a bit hard to recommend when you add the mediocre battery life into the mix and I can’t help but wonder if the lower resolution version of this model would be slightly better performance and battery wise.

Lenovo Chromebook S330: Cheap & Perfect For Roblox [Video]
Source: Chrome Unboxed English Archive.org version
There’s a good chance that you or someone you know has a child that loves playing Roblox. With nearly 180 million accounts and roughly 12 million monthly active users, someone in your circle likely plays a game inside the ever-expanding Roblox world. We talked recently in a post and in our latest podcast about the importance of Roblox on Chromebooks and why it is we feel Roblox has done the entire Android-on-Chromebook experience right.

Lenovo Chromebook S330 review
Source: Android Guys English Archive.org version
The Chromebook S330 isn’t exactly a stunning piece of artwork or a sleek piece of machinery, but that’s not why we buy these types of devices. This has a utilitarian design and somewhat uninspired aesthetic but it gets the job done.

Though the S330 makes some sacrifices that may put off advanced users, its solid build quality and quality keyboard make it an excellent mobile laptop for basic tasks and applications.

Comment

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.

14.00:

14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact. 

In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.
