    Decent at the sale price. Not for work use, but ideal for casual browsing and light use. Comes with Windows 10s. Not an os I recommend. Be prepared to upgrade.

      The Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop 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.

    This is the slowest laptop that I have ever purchased. Takes forever to turn on (even from sleep mode). Takes forever to load an app or a program. It's even so slow that you can barely type anything since it can't think quick enough to keep up with your typing.

      The Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop will boot from off to the Windows 10 desktop in less than 40-seconds. It will wake up from Sleep Mode almost instantly. If you are experiencing slower than expected performance, 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

    Open Box Excellent - Certified . . . NOT!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased this laptop on-line as an "Open Box Excellent-Certified" item. According to the website, this is what I can expect. Geek Squad Certified Professionally Cleaned Looks brand new Includes all original parts/accessories Typically contains original packaging It came in a plastic bag with just the AC adapter. It was clear that it had not been cleaned and certainly did not look brand new, with at least a dozen fingernail sized scratches on the display screen. It looked like someone took it off the display floor, put a couple of stickers on it and stuck it on a shelf in the back room. Obviously, I am VERY disappointed with this experience.
