Excellent for browsing the internet.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got for my mother and she loves the computer. Perfect size. About the size of a 12 inch laptop but with a 15 inch screen due to the very small bezels.

Posted .Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop for your mother. The IdeaPad S145-15 provides a full-size 15.6-inch screen (screen size measured diagonally), but only measures a total of 14.26 x 9.90 x 0.78 inches and weighs just 4.07 lbs. We are pleased to hear that the features and performance of the IdeaPad S145-15 meets your mother'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.

Great laptop, and great price.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It seems like all the new laptops are going to the Emmc memory, which is garbage unless you get enough memory to last the life of the device. Also, why is it so rare to find a 10 key? This was one of the last ones available that fit the bill of what I needed, regular HDD (and up-gradable), a 10 key pad, and doesn't cost 800 dollars. Well too bad it isn't available anymore. They should at least replace it with a comparable one. Lenovo is a great brand, and I have always had good luck with this brand. You can't go wrong when there is the Lenovo brand on it.

WINDOWS S MODE DRAWBACK.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.EASY TO USE, BUT THE WINDOWS S MODE REQUIRES YOU TO DOWNLOAD A MICROSOFT APP FOR ANY PROGRAM YOU USE, YOU CAN GET OFF WINDOWS S MODE IF IT DOESN'T WORK FOR YOY.BUT YOU CAN'T GET IT BACK. THIS IS WHAT I HAD TO DO.

Very very slow
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Extremely slow processor, takes forever to load, buffers constantly on web video feeds. MY MISTAKE going with only 4GB memory but who would have thought it would be this slow. Do not buy if you want to use it for anything more than very simple tasks and be prepared to sit and wait for anything to load.

Posted .The Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop, model number 81N3005LUS 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. If you are experiencing slower than expected performance, 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.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First Lenovo laptop I have purchased.
