    I understand this is a bit on the cheaper side of laptops but I expect that buying a new laptop the speed will not be perfect but it is horrible and super slow.. Shut down all background apps etc but still nothing, it takes forever to load and open anything, getting to websites.. Just is terrible and a horrible experience for school etc...

    I bought this to use with my lighting interface. Being brand new I expected it to run fast. Well it didn't. When I did finally install my lighting software, it would fun for awhile and then close the program. Finally I was able to get this under control with some adjustments. I finally used it for a show and the battery life was horrible.

      The Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 Laptop, model number 81N3009BUS, 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. Whether you stay with S-Mode or switch to Windows 10 Home, Windows 10 should not lag. Be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10 and this laptop's specific configuration. 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. We always recommend you check the requirements and compatibility of any software you will be installing on your new computer, before you invest in any computer. Be sure your new computer can support the software you will need to use. If the problem persists, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686. Lenovo
