Posted .Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop for your grand child. 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.

Good for what I need it to do
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good computer for working from home. A few things I don't like, the keyboard is too small and the space bar doesn't work well unless you tap it hard. Other than that, it works very well.

DO NOT BUY!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely useless computer. I've cleaned off the bloatware, defragged the hard drive, virus scans, and other tasks to try to speed it up but it still takes 10 minutes to even open a program. I Wish i could go back and turn this back in for a refund. I'll never buy another Lenovo product again.

This thing is junk!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I decided to go cheap and get a laptop just to surf and email. I have never owned a computer as slow and unresponsive as this thing. It wouldn’t even make a good boat anchor. I’ve held off on my review for several months since purchase. Wanted to give it a fair chance. Startup is slow! Loading any program is slow. Just pathetic. Lenovo should be ashamed and Best Buy should refuse to sell this model. Lesson learned. You get what you pay for. Crap!!!!!!!

Not happy with this laptop
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this laptop in April but did not have time to used because of all that's going on, when I was able to use it, I found out it was the worst computer I had bought in my life. It takes a lot of time to turn on and sometimes the screen turns all black. When I tried to returned they told me it was too late, that I only had 15 days to do it and it was a month already since I bought it. Would not recommend this laptop. You get what you paid for. . .

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 getting slower boot times, 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.
