Posted .The Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop is an entry level, light use system with its Intel Pentium processor. The IdeaPad S145-15 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.

The Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 is not meant for multi-tasking or demanding programs. It is good for Microsoft Office and light internet browsing. If this describes your computing needs, the IdeaPad S145-15 would be a good choice.

Less than I expected from Lenovo
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to purchase extra RAM for it. Case is thin plastic and feels flimsy.
I would recommend this to a friend This item had to be returned.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very slow processing system. Would freeze if I opened more than two windows at a time. Also - when completing simple tasks such as watching a YouTube video, computer would freeze. Be cautious if considering purchasing this item. Honestly - not work the money.

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15. 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. If you have switched from S-Mode to Windows 10 Home, be sure you have no installed any incompatible software on to 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.
