    For all of you parents that need an extra laptop for your kids distance learning. Look no further. This Baby is perfect for everything including Zoom teacher calls. Very easy to work with, has voice commands available, large screen helps with reading on line and plenty of math. In addition, light weight even though I don't let the kids work on it in bed. This is a table laptop so that we have a classroom style set up.

      The lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop, model number 81N3009BUS, ships with 5G, 802.11AC frequency WiFi, which is up to 3X faster than standard 802.11N WiFi. This 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. If you are getting 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. Lenovo

    The laptop has great storage but is very slow. Windows 10 in S-mode is a terrible operating system. If you take it out of s-mode it runs even slower. I had a hard time installing apps it said works for the computer.
