Junk!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You get what you pay for. 4GB RAM boo!! The worst is the HDD 1TB hard drive. Slowest drive ever. No one should EVER EVER by an HDD. Always get a SSD (Solid State Drive). Huge performance difference. Also the screen resolution and video card average at best. I exchanged for a better model and forked up extra cash.

Not a good computer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The computer is very slow. It frequently freezes up. The memory is not expand.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Lenovo Product Expert
Posted .The Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop, model number 81N3009BUS, ships with Windows 10 S-Mode 64-bit Operating System, which should not freeze. If you are experiencing operating system freezing, 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 programming 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.
