      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.

    Don't let the low price fool you. If you need or want just a basic laptop, this one is the one to get. Nothing fancy but gets the job done.

    It’s ok for basic functions as a computer. I would suggest buying a MacBook. More money, but will last for years. My old 2003 MacBook is still going strong, I wouldn’t trade it for this or any windows pc.

    A very average and run of the mill laptop for the price. Nothing really that remarkable besides the size I suppose. Probably could do better in terms of quality and price if you look hard enough.

    This laptop seemed to run a lot slower than I thought it would. Screen would freeze every once in a while. Wouldn’t recommend, even for the most basic of use.

      The Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop is an entry level, light use system with its Intel Processor processor. It is not meant for multi-tasking or demanding programs. It is good for Microsoft Office and light internet browsing. Windows 10 S-Mode Operating System will not freeze under normal operating conditions. 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. 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

    This laptop is not what I was led to believe. It is not capable of running Windows 10. The processor is outdated and the Memory is insufficient to run windows 10 which it says it is built for. We only wanted it for the internet, but it isn't even capable of that.
