      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop. 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.

    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.

    This is my third Lenovo laptop purchased, previously purchased laptops for myself and my daughter. This one is slated for college bound daughter number three. I like lenovo's remote support, durability and reliability. Would definitely recommend this brand over HP and similar Dell products.

    I got this for my son's school work. It works fine for that. I had to buy it because the geek squad has not done what they said they did on my other laptop. That was $400 thrown up a wild hog's butt in the last year and a half. Don't waste your money on geek squad unless you are just looking for somebody to keep your stuff clean, cause they sure as heck won't keep it running. Also the sales girl was about as rude as I have ever seen in our Best Buy. I'm done with them.
