    battery dies really fast and the screen only stays bright as long as it's charging up. For the price that I spent on it and the way the salesman explained to me that I was getting a perfectly good laptop it's not . But will do until I purchase a new one.

    Purchased to be able to work from home. Programs installed quickly, screen is nice size. Like having a 10-key pad on the same keyboard since I do accounting work. Able to have several programs open at once and pretty easy to navigate from one program to another. Screen could be a little brighter, but overall good. Not using for high-tech software, just basic programs and it works fine for that.

    The laptop is solid overall. However the 4GB of onboard RAM create a lot of bottlenecks for anyone trying to do serious computing on it. I am adapting it for school and statistical and data analysis and it struggles with multiple programs open at once.

      The Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop, model number 81N3009BUS will boot from off to the Windows 10 Desktop in less than 40-seconds. If you are getting slower boot times, 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. Lenovo
