      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.

      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. If you are only getting 2-3 hours of battery life, be sure there are no incompatible programs installed on the computer. Be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. There is no need to install Microsoft Office software. The software is already part of the operating system, you just need to activate the software with a purchased product key. If you have installed a copy of Microsoft Office, this is conflicting with the existing copy on the system and this will slow your system down. If you have installed a 3rd party anti-virus program, be sure that Windows Defender is turned off and that the trial version of McAfee Anti-Virus software is uninstalled. There can only be one anti-virus program on the system. You may need to restore your system to original factory default settings if any of the programing errors have occurred. You can do that by typing "restore" in the Cortana search window. Just click on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom left of your Windows 10 Desktop. Click on "Reset This PC" Then click on "Get Started" and follow the on screen directions to restore to factory defaults. If the problem persists, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686. Lenovo

    Bought it and gave it to my son who is at college, his first class and it moved like a snail holding him up while he was trying to work. They gave me a refund and I bought a better computer worked great. You can tell when you open the box the charger is cheap plastic and the laptop itself is not good quality in my opinion. Owned it one week.
