Needed a small laptop for my grandson to use at school. This ticks a lot of boxes - light, smallish, touch screen and powerful enough for word processing and browsing. I suspect it is end of model runout.

Most schools specify at least Pentium and 128GB SSD, with 6 hours on battery. This is not one for playing high end games but will do the job I want. It is lighter than most competitors. (My grand-daughter has had one similar spec for a year and is happy with it). Has an SD slot so you can add more storage if needed. No RJ-45 socket but wireless seems okay.

Sure you can get more robust/faster models, but not at this price. I think it was marked around $650 in the store.

  Not a bad deal considering it's new!

  I bought this one with the 20% off code which brings it down to $399. It's also a really good laptop although it's refurbished.

      I wanted an 11” - the 520 (now the 530) is 14” - and yes it has a faster processor, but you are paying a lot more for a new one.

      I didn’t need the faster processor for word processing etc.

      The 520/530 14” and i5 is great if you want something larger and with more grunt.

  The Yoga 330 is only 1.25kg, compared to 1.75 for the more popular Yoga 520 (refurb) at 1.75kg.

  Anyone wanting high-spec ultra-light on a budget:

    That’s a nice machine - 13.3” is a sweet spot for me. At that size and weight, it is something you can use actually as a laptop… and the price is good. My Dell XPS i7 (not touch) cost more than 3 times times that, but would not be 3 times better.

    The larger machines are closer to a desktop replacement being a bit too big and heavy to use literally as a laptop machine… especially in places like aircraft.

  @Public21 does it charge via the usb c?

    Sorry - I don’t have a USB-C cable to test it out.

    They seems to use a 20volt charger so I very much doubt it could charge via USB..

      The 330 does not have usb-C charging.
      However, USB-PD spec is capable of 20V @ 5A.
