      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop for your daughter. We are pleased to hear that the IdeaPad S145-15 meets your daughter's computing needs so well. This 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.

    Not sure if it was because I bought an open box, but this laptop was extremely slow from the start. I ended up taking it back to a local store and for only a bit more got a new, well working, fast, DELL Inspiron 15 3000. It has 8GB of RAM apposed to the 4GB in the Lenovo, what a difference!!

    Tried to buy my wife a new laptop for basic use. Returned immediately. She uses Internet explorer and other basic apps. This thing is a joke. If you enjoy waiting two seconds for the system to react after every click, buy this laptop! The materials are extremely cheap. Waste of money

      We are sorry to hear that you had issues with your IdeaPad S145-15 laptop. 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. Lenovo
