      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop for your son. We are pleased to hear that the value and performance of the IdeaPad S145-15 meets your son's 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. 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.

    Has been a while since I have had a lap top. Like how light they are now. The format is different than what I have been use to and still trying to figure out how to navigate around it.

    Purchased this laptop for a base station for modem connection. It's been very easy to set up and use. We don't use it for everyday computing, so really can't speak to anything other.
