    It was perfect for our needs. It performs well now that we installed Office 360. Recommend that you buy office 360 at the time of purchase to get a good bundle deal.

      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop. There is a 30-day trial of Microsoft Office 365 included as part of the Windows 10 operating system. In order to keep the program active after the trial period, you will need to purchase a product key. You will not need to download any additional software. The Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 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.

    I purchased this pad for my son, while he was a junior in high school. I figured it would be okay until I upgraded him for college. I was so wrong! This pad is slow, has limited storage, and not ideal for students who have online classes and take proctored exams. I would recommend spending a little more and getting something that is more functional.

      The Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop ships with a 2CELL_30WH_INTERNAL, Lithium Polymer Battery, with a battery life of up to 6 hours, depending on the work the device is performing. To maximize battery life, first adjust your battery saver settings. Here is a link to instruction for doing this in Windows 10:  https://www.digitalcitizen.life/how-use-configure-battery-saver-windows-10. Next, to maximize battery life, be sure there are no unwanted programs running in the background, draining the battery. Here is a link to some tips for finding out what is draining your battery:
      https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/battery-saver-windows-10. Also, to maximize battery life, try changing your power management setting to a more conservative one. You can do this in the control panel, in the power management category on your system. Select a more conservative power management setting to extend battery life. Finally, if the battery life does not improve, a battery reset may help. Here is a link to instructions for reconditioning a non-removable battery, using the Battery Management Software installed on the computer. If you need further assistance, we recommend you call Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686. Here is the link: https://windowsreport.com/laptop-battery-not-charging-windows-10/. The Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 is an entry level, light use system with its Intel Pentium processor. It is not meant for multi-tasking or demanding programs.
