    We needed a new laptop and when our kids started homeschooling this year it seemed like a good time to purchase. This is lightweight, loads quickly and has been all that we need.

    Love the 15.5 monitor, light weight, stays fairly cool on my lap. Downside is all the liberal newsfeeds that are loaded on with the software, I would prefer to choose my own newsfeed, not those of a particular political agenda:(

      The Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop, model number 81N3009BUS, is a mid-level, moderate use configuration, with its AMD A6-9225 processor. This Dual-Core processor has a base speed of 2.6GHz and a boost speed of up to 3.0GHz. This configuration has 4GB of RAM. It is good with Microsoft Office type programs, internet browsing and other moderate work. 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.

    I've had this laptop for a month now. It is super slow (I know it's not my internet). The mouse also lags behind. So far, it's been frustrating to use this slow and lagging laptop. Opening word or the internet has proven to be too much for this laptop. I've had other cheap laptops that worked great but this is not one of them.

      We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop, model number 81N3009BUS. 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

    I just bought the laptop and could not find the settings to change the touchpad scrolling directions. I tried updating drivers and everything. I made a support ticket, and they told me the hardware support could not help me so I had to call a different phone number for software support. Once I got a hold of software support, they said I would have to pay $199 before they could help me since the software is not under hardware warranty. I just bought the laptop two days ago. This setting is so basic and simple, I don't know why this is even a problem. I'm returning the laptop, this is the first and last Lenovo I'm buying. You can tell the support by looking at their copy and pasted responses in all the reviews.

      You can make adjustments to the touchpad in your system settings. You can get there by clicking on the magnifying glass at the bottom left of your Windows 10 screen. Type "touchpad" in the search window. Select "Mouse & touchpad settings" from the list of choices. You can make general adjustments to the touchpad there. You can also select "Additional mouse options" for more detailed adjustments to the touchpad sensitivity by increasing the delay of the touchpad. Lenovo
