overall good chromebook.
I'm not really too much of a Tech person but grew up with computers in my 20's mostly using it for school and personal stuff.
I had it for a few months now so my beginning concerns aren't the same as my latter ones. I'll try to go over really quickly the basic beginning concerns I had then go through with my impressions with months of use later on. 1366 X 768 isn't HD but it's acceptable. Processing speed is 2.1 ghz, never had a problem or issue with lags. 4 gb ram is okay, probably wouldnt do 2 gb. 11.6 screen, I wanted something smaller so this is a plus to me. Bit heavy with 2.64 lbs for a small laptop but it's okay, still my lightest one. internet connection is good and bluetooth use was good. Processor never had a problem with Mediatek. Convertible to tablet mode is a plus. Solid state so processes quickly which is a big plus. Battery life is great, I hate charging and finding an outlet, but this goes on for more than 8-10 hours, just doing school stuff, no videos. I would say I searched like crazy in the beginning. I wanted one main personal laptop and one small convertible laptop and this was the best convertible one I could find on Amazon. I compared like 20+ laptops over a week, I was really putting a ridiculous amount of time on it. But I had specific things I wanted in mine, like speed, aesthetics, smooth performance, and valued those more than other things. I wanted things to be really convenient.
I have started using chromebooks more because they are inexpensive and very convenient to use. They aren't too good for hardcore processing, but for school work or personal work, it meets all my needs. Whenever I use it, everything is pretty smooth and seamless. Start and shut down are almost instant. I have never had an issue with it's use so far. I think for me, the biggest plus is the elegance. It makes everything very easy to use, it looks great, it even retains its new smell after some months with light use. My other laptops have poor track pads but this one is infinitely better. I don't feel the need to use a wireless mouse as well. I ended up getting a screen protector for it for almost $20 because it was a touch screen. I like how it has a lot of features like hdmi cables, one usbs, even a memory card slot. I think for the price, it is definitely worth it. It feels like a very high end chromebook, although I generally wouldn't pay too much for a laptop in general because I don't need high processing. The buttons feel nice and smooth. There hasn't been much lag or delay time. Updates are easy and smooth. Screen is nice to look at and the colors are great. There doesn't seem to be much glare and it feels aesthetically pleasing. Yeah everything's really nice with this.
There are some things I don't like about it though. Originally, I had planned to use this as a tablet part-time because I didn't want to buy paper textbooks. I thought of using all of it on this chromebook, but it turned out to not be convenient because it was too heavy. I would use it on the train and my hands would almost immediately get tired trying to read. I would have to rest is down on myself, which isn't a big deal but wanted something I could read ebooks and pdfs on conveniently. I don't know if I will end up getting another one to serve that purpose. It also is a chromebook so it cannot download files and stuff. I don't particularly like that because that stops it from being my main computer. I don't like putting personal stuff on my drive, like my expenses or whatever even though it is irrational and I do it with some apps. Maybe I should, but the fact that everything is on my drive to see makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. I don't mind that this computer cannot really do much without internet because I always have something saved on it. It has 64 gb of memory which I think is quite significant. I mean, if I couldn't put anything on the drive, I wouldn't feel that, but 64 gb + drive storage seems more than enough and I am trying to be a minimalist anyway. Yeah not that many cons.
Anyway, I wanted a inexpensive laptop but this definitely performs up to par with most laptops. Never had a problem with it so far months into my purchase but did want something I could use as a tablet. Would definitely recommend. Definitely better than a lot of the stuff I grew up with that cost 3x more. Best laptop I could find and really pleasantly surprised overall in many areas.

This chromebook is fast in my opinion. The speed is snappy and the device responds quickly to gestures and commands. I have yet to find sometime I can't do on this that I do on my windows laptop aside from gaming. One game I like to play requires windows, mac, or linux. Since this has an ARM processor it does not support linux applications at this time.
Design: This device is a bright attractive white chromebook. I find the design to be pleasing to the eye and appears sturdy even though it is made from plastic. I do not particularly like using it in tablet mode. The screen feels bulky and sometimes unmanageable in tablet mode. The screen quickly transitions to whatever position to place it in whether laptop, tent, or tablet mode. I personal find myself not even using my LG tablet for much of anything except when I need LTE internet away from home. Overall the design is great.
Screen/Input: I find the keyboard to be on par with most laptop keyboards. The keys are a little shallow and I feel my typing has slowed a little bit, but not by much. The IPS touchscreen is very responsive and rarely find myself having to touch the screen more than once for my intended gesture. Screen is bright in home conditions, but feel it would lack in more intense lighting situations, such as outdoors.
Ease of Use: The google play store makes this thing be able to do just about anything. I have not tried any intense applications. I use chrome, netflix, hulu, evernote, several banking apps, and various other apps. All of them are snappy responsive. The bank apps load like they are in phone mode, thus they are in a small window. The apps still work as designed. Netflix and Hulu playback is smooth and pleasant to watch on the screen.
Overall, I am impressed with the Google OS and this device in general. If your someone who is on the fence about the operating system, I suggest you give it a try. The battery life is good as well. When using my gaming laptop its always with a cord tethered nearby. I also understand a gaming laptop is far more power intensive. I have yet to use this chromebook while charging it. The battery has allowed me to watch 4-5 hours of netflix, talk on facebook, and text through my phone without ever getting critically low. I charge it at night and then never put it back on till the next night. This is a max screen brightness. I was also very surprised with the speakers. The speakers were much louder and not distorted. I honestly expected them to be cheap netbook quality that is mostly better just to never use them, but thats not the case with this chromebook. I do generally use a bluetooth headset. The bluetooth headset paired with extreme simplicity. I also set up my brother wireless laser printer with google cloud print in less than 30 seconds.
Google did it right and lenovo delivered a solid product. I did purchase this on sale for $200 but would have spent the $300. If your a web surfer, music listener, netflix watcher I highly recommend this. If you need windows intense software then go with windows. Otherwise I think you'll find yourself using this as your primary device as I have.
For the powerusers:
I was surprised to find that you can run a Linux vm on it, but due to technical limitations (arm-32 architecture) that’s about it. You can usually get a little farther on other chromebooks due to arm-64 architecture. Yet the primary roadblock has to be storage, 32 gigs can’t hold much.

Luego empecé a usar Linux (Arch btw) y por varios años fuí feliz, pero aunque era mucho más sencillo mantener el Sistema funcionando que en Windows, eran 40 Segundos de Inicio para al final usar Chrome para todo.
A finales de Septiembre instalé CloudReady (derivado de ChromiumOS), y ahhh! la vida empezó a ser más sencilla, era solo encender mi Laptop y en menos de 20 segundos ya podía empezar a navegar por internet, y usar todo lo que antes usaba en mis otros dispositivos. De ahí me nació el amor por ChromeOS, al fin había hallado el Sistema Operativo perfecto! Sencillo, capaz, eficiente, con buen diseño e integrado completamente a los Servicios de Google, y con actualizaciones sencillas, a diferencia del Drama que es actualizar Windows.
Pasando a lo importante:
La Lenovo C330 es una convertible muy bien diseñada e inspirada en la Pixelbook. Hace que las personas la miren y pregunten cual Laptop es, destaca para bien.
Aunque los marcos de la pantalla son bastante grandes me gusta su estética monocromo y el diseño del teclado.
Funciona muy bien, hasta ahora nunca he detectado que se ralentice, el único ''pero'' es cuando la suspendo a veces cierra el navegador y hay que darle a abrir pestañas cerradas.
El poder usar Office desde el navegador ayuda un poco a los que necesitan Office si o si, aunque ya me acostumbré a usar Documentos de Google más.
Es muy responsiva, rápidamente abre cualquier página web o aplicación. Mientras que en Windows tenía que esperar varios segundos a que abriera Gmail o YouTube, en ChromeOS es prácticamente instantáneo, y sin errores.
La pantalla táctil responde muy bien al toque.
Las aplicaciones de Android trabajan correctamente aunque aún hayan ciertas inconsistencias al usar el mouse en algunas.
La duración de la batería es la esperada.
El sonido y volumen de las bocinas me agradó bastante.
El Bluetooth es como en todos los dispositivos ChromeOS; funciona cuando quiere.
El que pueda usar ADB desde la sesión Linux para mandar comandos a mi telefono es una función muy útil.
La recomiendo mucho y la volvería a comprar sin duda.
But don't expect too much that the chromebook can play game and etc. It's for daily use type of laptop.
Overall, I'm satisfied with my loot!:)
