      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop. We are pleased to hear that the IdeaPad S145-15 meets your computing needs 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.

    I got this computer at a great deal but it’s kind of slow and they force you through like 50 Microsoft setup questions to even use the darn thing. No thank you!

    Great light use computer, needs more RAM and you have to ditch Windows 10 S mode right away. The ram is easy to replace and should really come with 8GB to begin with.

    I bought this as a requirement for a class I took one year ago. What I like best about it is that it holds its battery charge for a really long time. It's fast, and has a very clear image on the screen. I did have one problem with trying to project from this device to a screen. The default seemed to be a split screen and it took a while to get in there and shut that down, but otherwise, no complaints.

    We needed a basic laptop to stream video and stay connected during an extended hospital stay. This performs well and meets all of our needs. It streams video without glitches and is quite easy to use.
