      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop. 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.

    Seemed like a great computer . . . Or atleast I thought. The other day out of the blue it would not turn on. Kinda weird. Now ill be honest with you I'm no computer expert but I know my way around computers. I only used this one for storage of personal photos, documents, and some music or videos so I shouldn't have overworked it . . .

    Love my new laptop, just to check email, pay bills online and other things. Had a technical issue but went to Best Buy to have Geek Squad look at it an the corrected the issue. I am glad that Best Buy stands behind all of the products they sell and if there is a problem Best Buy Geek Squad will fix it. The customer service was great!!

    5 stars because why not. This was a gift that I purchased for my Mom for Christmas. It works perfectly for what she needs to do (general browsing, facebook, emails, photo storage bc she is afraid of the cloud, etc.) Actually the specs are probably more than what she needs it for but hopefully that means it will last a long time!
