    Good basic no frills computer, a bit of a challenge to initially setup, a call to tech support, very useful, solved that.

      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 Laptop, model number 81N3009BUS. 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.

    We bought this so our teenage daughter could complete her daily distance learning assignments. We have two other kids that also need computers and so we needed a third. Crazy times. She has been able to successfully do that AND watch all the YouTube her heart desires. It's a great machine at an affordable price. If you're just looking for a laptop to get daily work done and surf the web, this is a great pick!

    It frequently freezes and the system will not permit you to install additional browsers. Edge is nice, but some programs work better with Firefox or Chrome. I'm order to install either of them, you have to make irreversible changes to the security system.

    I purchased this for virtual learning back in March and let me tell you, it is extremely slow, takes FOREVER to even open up google not to mention go into google meets. While my son is in love session with his teacher he is not able to access work on google classroom. We have excellent internet service so internet is not the problem. I wish I could get a refund on this but it is now the end of August and I believe I wouldn't be able to get a refund anymore. Please, if you want a good working laptop for your son during this pandemic please invest in something that will work for them. This laptop absolutely does not do the job. Now I have to save up some money and get him another one.

      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 getting slower boot times, whether you have switched out of S-Mode or not, 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
