Model: The Lenovo IdeaPad U330p is a slim, lightweight laptop that is elegantly designed. The chassis is kept simple with slightly curved corners and covered in various finishes from light silver to dark brush metal with orange highlights. There is a beautiful touchpad with good responsiveness and a tile keyboard, slightly rounded at the bottom of each key. Weighing less than 4 lbs (1.81 kg), the Lenovo IdeaPad U330p comes with a 13.3 inch high-definition display with an aspect ratio of 16:9. The display quality is good with solid colors and sharp images.

The Windows 8 laptop comes with either an Intel Core i5-4200U or an Intel Core i3-4010U processor. Users can also select the RAM capacity. Up to 8 GB in a single slot are possible. There is an integrated Intel graphics chip. Storage options range from a 1 TB hard disk to a 256 GB SSD. Other capabilities packed into the Lenovo IdeaPad U330p consist of a 1 MP webcam, Bluetooth 4.0, two USB 2.0 ports, a 3.0 USB port, a card reader and an HDMI out. Audio quality is good with Dolby Home Theater tuning the stereo speakers. Overall the Lenovo IdeaPad U330p is an ideal mobile laptop with its less than 1 inch (2.54 cm) thick profile. Battery life is superb with up to 10 hours of mixed usage.

Intel HD Graphics 4400:

ULV integrated GPU (GT2) with 20 EUs found on certain Haswell CPU models.

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

4200U:

Haswell-based ULV dual-core processor clocked at 1.6 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 2.6 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4400 and a dual-channel DDR3 memory controller.

13.30":

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

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.

74%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
