You get what you pay for
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s not a bad entry level laptop. It seems slower than what I thought. I had hopes that it would be faster but it ended up disappointing when you need it for things like programming compilation or games.

||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife and I stopped at the store to look at computers not knowing that the store wasn’t allowing people inside anymore. Qaheem met us in our vehicle and explained the situation of the store. He asked what we were looking for and was able to help us get exactly what we needed by walking us through the app. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and made the entire experience a great one!! Great job Qaheem and thank you so much!!

Cheap is Chesp
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought it because of it’s price. It gets the job done. Picture quality is not very good. Streaming video is choppy. You buy cheap you get cheap. If you’re just going to use it for email, surfing, you should be fine. More than that, I would go for something a little better.

Posted .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 experiencing slower than expected performance, 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.

It was OK!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works as promised but there were somethings personally I didn't like. auto-dimming of the screen when on battery. the refresh rate seems to lag. I was able to correct the dimming after a while. lagging, that's a different story. still, all in all, it's a nice laptop.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat for replacing an older desk model.

Not what si was expecting
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The laptop has been very slow, the battery dies extremely fast, and the screen is not bright.
