      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop as a gift. We are pleased to hear that the IdeaPad S145-15 is working out so well. This is an entry level, light use system with its Intel Pentium processor. It is not meant for multi-tasking or demanding programs. It is good for Microsoft Office and light internet browsing. 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 laptop did ok. Although it was too slow for my wife to do her school work. I returned this one for one with a solid state hard drive. It is a good laptop for normal browsing use though.

    Really like the size of the screen. Other laptops of similar price were an inch smaller. Been enjoying surfing and playing games so much I haven't used it for work apps yet, but seems like it will do fine. Had been wondering if my sluggish internet was my old computer or my provider. Found it was just my old computer, things speed along just fine with this laptop. Was a little startled to find it came with Windows 10S, didn't know what that was. But it was easy to convert to regular Windows.

    I’m not a windows fan but I needed it for 1 course so I bought the cheapest thing I could find. It works pretty good and does what I need it to do. I don’t use it other than for the course so I can’t speak as to the features on it.

    I can't recommend this laptop regardless of price. I purchase this at a great Rock Bottom price and was trying to give it every possible chance on keep it... held onto it for four days trying everything to speed it up but its an absolutely turtle of a computer. The screen is washed up regardless of resolution ...for $100 extra I was able to get a a much faster computer with better sounding speakers and a much brighter screen.
