Posted .Thank you for choosing the lenovo IdeaPad 15.6-Inch Laptop, model number 81UT00EAUS. The heart of the IdeaPad 15.6 is the Windows 10 Operating System. With regard to learning your way around Windows 10, you may want to try YouTube.com (just type that address in your browser address window). There are hundreds for free instructional videos there about Windows 10. Just type Windows 10 Introduction in to the YouTube search window. You can watch free videos there that will show you the basics all the way up to tips and tricks videos and they're all free. The Lenovo IdeaPad 15.6 ships with Windows 10 S-Mode Operating System. Windows 10 S-Mode provides added security by only allowing APPs available ( and therefore certified by Microsoft) at the Microsoft Store. If you don't need the added security or you need to install APPs not available at the Microsoft Store, you can switch to standard Windows 10 Home 64-bit Operating System, at no additional cost. Here is a link to all of the documentation for this model:  https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/ideapad-s-series-netbooks/s145-15api/documentation/doc_userguide

Much faster then my old one that died,! But!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would have given this a 5 star except for a problem I seem to have with Turning It On!. I works like a charm after getting it started. I don't know if there is a common problem the screen not coming on after shutdown or not but there is with the one I have. I have S mode turned off and all the Lenovo recommended updates are installed. the last one that updated the BIOS seemed to help a little but did not fix my problem. at Would have given 5 stars except for at least 2 out of 5 times we use it I have to use a hard start! (turn off hold button down for 30 seconds and turn on with Shift+F8 held down to get the screen and splash logo to come on) otherwise I just get a light on the on switch with blank,black screen. It comes on and works great after that. It took a couple of days to get all my data in and and since it works otherwise I hate to take it back If this is just some idiosyncrasy. Hope it keeps starting. after the warranty runs out!! But the problem is a pain. It is my gift to my wife and she has to call me every time it fails to start!!!

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are having issues turning your Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14 laptop, model number 81VS0001US. Since you have switched out of S-Mode, be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. There is no need to install Microsoft Office software. The software is already part of the operating system, you just need to activate the software with a purchased product key. If you have installed a copy of Microsoft Office, this is conflicting with the existing copy on the system and this will slow your system down. If you have installed a 3rd party anti-virus program, be sure that Windows Defender is turned off and that the trial version of McAfee Anti-Virus software is uninstalled. There can only be one anti-virus program on the system. You may need to restore your system to original factory default settings if any of the programming errors have occurred. You can do that by typing "restore" in the Cortana search window. Just click on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom left of your Windows 10 Desktop. Click on "Reset This PC" Then click on "Get Started" and follow the on screen directions to restore to factory defaults. If the problem persists, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686.

Flawed Setting
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First, the good stuff. This is a pretty decent computer. It's lightweight, fast and the keyboard is good. However, the touchpad settings do not allow you to customize it. There is no ability to turn off "tap to select" in the control panel. Regardless of what driver is installed the tab to customize the touchpad is missing. There is also no registry key dedicated to fixing this problem. So, if, like me you HATE that feature, you're stuck with it. Lenovo IS aware of this, but they have done nothing to fix it. I am currently using an external mouse to completely bypass the touchpad which, needless to say, on a laptop totally defeats the purpose!! IF this ever gets resolved, my rating would significantly increase. In fact I would have returned this laptop for this single reason had I not been hasty and thrown away the box in which it came.

Posted .With regard to the touchpad, you can make adjustments to the touchpad in your system settings. You can get there by clicking on the magnifying glass at the bottom left of your Windows 10 screen. Type "touchpad" in the search window. Select "Mouse & touchpad settings" from the list of choices. You can make general adjustments to the touchpad there. You can also select "Additional mouse options" for more detailed adjustments to the touchpad sensitivity by increasing the delay of the touchpad.

Good laptop for basic to mid level workers.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this laptop for a friend’s dad who needed to upgrade his older laptop. It has a decent size storage for him since he doesn’t save a lot of photos or videos. Same with ram since he won’t be working on heavy projects. Overall just a decent laptop for him.

Good for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Having used a Mac for years, the first thing I noticed was how much of a downgrade the display way. But now that I've been using it for a month, it's sufficient for my work. The webcam quality is rather poor but I barely utilise that. The dictation tool is not the best which is annoying because I rely on that a lot. The screen is delightfully wide and the main reason I purchased this laptop. Not a bad laptop at all for the price.

don't buy this laptop if you like to use your eyes
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After the amount of review checking and Googling we did to find the right laptop, I am deeply frustrated that we ended up with this laptop. Sure, it works and the price point is fair (worth noting here that we also have a Surface Laptop, which is excellent, and so our expectations for a product 50-65% of the price were set accordingly), but it simply doesn't match our needs and no review I saw prior to purchase pointed out the following flaws, which may not be fatal for everyone, but for a writer/blogger/photographer really are: 1) Screen color / brightness - it's just horrible to look at. Dingy (even with max brightness) and poor color. 2) I hate trackpads in general and use a mouse whenever possible, but the placement of this trackpad is the WORST - it is off center and we constantly accidentally touch it with the base of the left hand thumb when typing. If I was buying again, I would absolutely sacrifice the extra screen size for better quality
