Struggles to Do Much Productively
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop with these specs is outdated. It doesn't have the power to perform multiple tasks at all. Had to restart in between tasks just so it wouldn't crash.

Posted .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.
This is a great product and an amazing bargain
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second Lenovo laptop. My first was entry level. This one is a bit more sophisticated and more powerful. Lightweight but sturdy. Many improvements since my first Lenovo in 2016.

For the price it is ok
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would not recommend this laptop for anyone who is looking for "instant response" on anything. The lack of processing power and memory make this laptop frustrating to use at times. I bought 2 for kids hoping they would them to play Roblox and other PC/web based games. They have reverted to using RCA tablets as they are more responsive and have less "downtime" while trying to open apps. It makes 5-10 minutes to simply boot up and open a chrome web browser. I also changed them from Windows 10 s to Windows 10 so we could install their games.

If you are getting slower than anticipated performance after switching out of Windows 10 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.

Slow and battery hog

And just 1.5 hours per charge. Again, like in the "olden days". But for $200 you can't expect much, so i'm ok.
