      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop. We are pleased to hear that the value and performance of the IdeaPad S145-15 meets your computing needs so well. 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.

      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 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

    Looks pretty good but don't expect a lot. The small memory makes it slow. I got rid of the windows 10 s so I could install programs I wanted but it wont let me. Like I say, you get what you pay for.

    I brought the computer back to Best Buy within a few days of buying it. Even though I had bought what I thought was Geek Squad service and an extended warranty, I was told it would have to be shipped out and I could expect it back in two weeks or so! I use my computer banking, medical appointments, shopping, etc. I used to be able to make an appointment and come to Best Buy and have someone fix my computer. The current policy is totally unsat as far as I am concerned.
