Basic and Brilliant
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a laptop for my nephew that was inexpensive yet powerful. This is it. It can handle multiple programs at once without lagging. It's lightweight yet sturdy. I foresee it holding up for a couple of years and getting him through his first 2 years of college. I highly recommend.

Posted .The Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 Laptop, model number 81N3009BUS, ships with a 2CELL_35WH_INTERNAL, Lithium Polymer Battery, with a battery life of up to 4 hours, depending on the work the device is performing. If you are getting less than expected battery life, 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 Laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.laptop was reasonable for the price, nice 15.6 screen ,and it also has the new Microsoft windows installed, also it has 500 gb of storage, downside about this laptop is display , the screen is not bright enough even if u put it all the way up to its maximum.... When u plug it in it seems to be brighter by ac cord!! And the battery for some reason only last a out 2 hours,, I found myself using the Aptos without ac cord, and it died in about and hour... other than this for a refurbished laptop , it standard, and gets the job done. Do I recommend this one? There are other good brands out there. But this will do for now.

Posted .With regard to your screen dimming while on battery only, this is a factor of the power management setting you are using. Go to Control Panel, Hardware and Sound, Power Options. Click on Change plan settings next to your active power plan. Click on Change advanced power settings. Scroll down to Display, then under Enable adaptive brightness, switch it off for both the battery and plugged in modes.

Worth it!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop is really good. It is a great size. The graphics aren't too great though. Its used for basic stuff so I'm not too worried but if u are looking for a laptop to watch movies on or play games, i'd suggest finding something better. This lasts long with the charge and it is easy to navigate and use. Its inexpensive and well worth the purchase.
