Best Lenovo Chromebookl

 Transcript

00:00
so this is the Lenovo s 330 Chromebook
00:03
which while being nearly 12 month old
00:05
he's probably still one of the best
00:06
entry-level laptops on the market but
00:08
let's find out why thanks for watching
00:10
95 Google on YouTube be sure to thumbs

00:14

00:17
you don't miss any of our upcoming
00:18
videos so under $200 the s 330
00:22
Chromebook still managed to be a
00:23
fantastic laptop for the vast majority
00:25
of people out there because it offers
00:27
you just enough of everything you'll
00:29
likely need our daily basis for starters
00:32
at this price the build is never going
00:34
to be considered the most premium it is
00:36
almost exclusively plastic but the deep
00:38
gray come black clay is actually pretty
00:40
sleek weedy textured lid feeling pretty
00:42
nice when gripped let's quickly talk
00:44
about ports as for such a cheap machine
00:46
there are a decent selection on offer
00:48
here you get a full size HDMI port USB C
00:51
that supports DisplayPort out on power
00:53
in while standard USB 3.0 and SD card
00:56
readers are also included on the right
00:58
you get a Kensington lock and a
00:59
headphone port and I think that is a
01:01
selection all things considered open up
01:04
the laptop and you are greeted with a
01:05
plenty of bezel on the 14 inch display
01:07
this model has a 1366 by 768 pixel
01:11
display so it's just a smidgen over HD
01:13
there is a 1080p touchscreen display
01:16
VOAD but I think this display isn't too
01:18
bad all things considered for starters
01:20
is matte and the hinge can go all the
01:23
way up to 180 degrees so you can find
01:25
the right comfort level for you when
01:27
using the s 330 and Sabbath foot away
01:30
the display isn't in any way grainy but
01:32
the colors could be a little bit deeper
01:33
that said for video more is more than
01:35
adequate in my experience the audio out
01:38
of the chassis though is a little bit
01:39
poor though I would suggest sticking in
01:41
Wired or wireless headphones and
01:43
enjoying the audio that way I will say
01:45
the keyboard is impressive I do like the
01:47
spongy feel of the keys while they have
01:49
plenty of travel when typing the plastic
01:51
body does produce some flex which also
01:53
adds to the spongy feel the trackpad is
01:56
not too bad I wouldn't call it
01:57
particularly great though
01:58
as it has a good size it responds well
02:01
to swipes and touches they click though
02:03
isn't all too fun to use so in my
02:04
experience how would just stick to taps
02:06
and touches as it does improve the
02:07
overall experience quite substantially
02:09
so the hardware isn't too bad what about
02:12
the performance though well
02:13
here have been the most impressed with
02:14
the media TechSoup set in four gigabytes
02:16
of RAM I haven't noticed any experience
02:19
killing slowdowns unless I really abuse
02:21
the number of browser tab to have open
02:23
at once watching multiple videos at
02:24
above 1080p resolution does cause some
02:26
issues but nothing game breaking per se
02:29
compared to similarly priced Windows
02:31
machines the performances actually a
02:33
dream been almost entirely browser-based
02:34
ensures that it feels fast most of the
02:37
time as a basic browsing laptop text and
02:39
document editor this is great although
02:41
the lack of a touchscreen means that
02:43
some Android games and apps are probably
02:45
not worth installing yes you can game
02:47
with android games but I would avoid 3d
02:49
titles answered s3 30 has modest
02:51
hardware even by 2019 Android standards
02:54
because this is of course Chrome OS the
02:56
battery life is one area where the s3 13
02:58
manages to exceed is similarly priced
03:00
arrival machines I have managed around 7
03:03
hours regularly but that is a little
03:05
short of the 10 hours at the Nova does
03:07
claim in its marketing material one
03:09
thing to note though is by closing the
03:10
s3 30 they can bring some serious
03:12
battery bleed I would suggest powering
03:14
down before shut in the lid and despite
03:18
being charged by USB see there is
03:20
actually no faster charging on the s3 30
03:22
and that does mean around 3 hours from 0
03:24
to 100% battery life when you stick it
03:26
on a charger it's definitely worth
03:27
noting that the battery is one of the
03:28
few sore points in my opinion with the
03:30
s3 13 that said I do have to say that
03:33
anyone looking for an entry-level or
03:35
first laptop to help them do the basics
03:36
like word processing spreadsheets
03:38
browsing or even video viewing the s3 30
03:40
is really a superb option under $200
03:43
it's worth noting that there are some
03:44
hardware refresh is coming soon which
03:46
might offer a similar value but if you
03:48
need a new laptop right now and just
03:50
want the basics then you could do much
03:52
worse than the Lenovo s3 13 Chromebook
03:54
of course if you're a Chromebook fan
03:55
we'd love to know what you think if you
03:57
haven't used a chrome before also stick
