    This laptop came with Windows S. I bought it for a child who is being homeschooled and it is good to prevent malware and viruses.

      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 sales lady, Lisa was very nice and helped me make a decision on what laptop would be best for me. I need a slimline laptop to perform simple daily tasks and this laptop delivers! I has just enough memory and storage to accommodate my needs. the keys are light and quick. the monitor is easy to see with no glare.

    We got it for the granddaughters birthday . She has been loading all the stuff on it. So far so good! It looks like a very nice computer with quite a bit of memory for the price we payed for it. It has a nice size screen 15.6 " with a good picture.The computer is light weight at about 4 lbs and a slim case.

    For the price it does every It needs to do, however (at least in mine) there was a discoloration in images/colors. The computer would start up and it would take an extremely long time to load or connect to internet. However once it was going it was fine.
