      The Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop 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.

    Lenovo ideapad s145 is the Biggest piece of garbage I ever bought. Total waste of money constantly loading programs you don't use constantly loading updates even with updates turned off. My 12 yr old 1.3 cpu dell while multitasking loads 6 times faster than this 3.3 cpu Lenovo not multitasking. Its so bad of a laptop i had to use my 12 yr old dell to be able to leave this review. Will never buy Lenovo again. 0 star if i could. took this to several different computer shops all say nothing they could do its the programing. i think its been a fair amount of time trying to get it fixed or halfway working ok to leave this review

    In most ways I really do like this laptop and would recommend it. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to have a microphone Which I didn’t realize and the speakers crackle and cut out.

    Some quirky glitches like incessant pop-ups on McCaffery and needing to re-set repeatedly on the headphones make it a less than perfect ride, but a good, functional computer.

    As soon as the lockdown went into effect my computer died. I was able to purchase this one immediately and the process was very quick. Its not a bad machine for the price.

    So far so good. I'm not very computer savvy I'm definitely Price driven. I compared quite a few Laptops on the Best Buy website. Specs and ya know whatever it compared. THE BOTTOM LINE FOR ME, WHY SPEND AN ADDITIONAL $200 if not more for a BRAND NAME ?? Is there really that much of a difference in performance for a basic user such as myself ? BUY IT...TRY IT....YOU'LL BE HAPPY... For the history books bought during a pandemic with only curbside option... No, really it happened. Be glad if you missed it....

    Bought this to do some training courses online for work. I don't know much about computers today compared to about 10 years ago but sometimes I feel like this computer falls short of it's capabilities. I understand it's not a gaming computer setup or one with high end components. Just seems like it could have been better. I guess for the price I got what I paid for so can't complain too much. It does what I need to do and I play a few online web browser games. Not a big fan of that current windows.
