    The price is very competitive. The PC has a solid processor and enough memory to handle anything that a average user or a college student will throw at it.

      The Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop is a mid-level, moderate use configuration, with its AMD A6-9225 processor. This Dual-Core processor has a base speed of 2.6GHz and a boost speed of up to 3.0GHz. This configuration has 4GB of RAM. It is good with Microsoft Office type programs, internet browsing and other moderate work. This model 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.

    I haven't used it much so can't say much except I had a hard time installing google on it and had to enlist my nephew's help with it. It's nice so far.
