    Fast delivery, but not loving what I got

    The product arrived fast. Slim but a bit large. However it blue screened twice very soon after I got it. It tends to not work well when I have two devices plugged in, making transferring very difficult. Works horribly if I have a few too many tabs open (I've always been the type to have a lot of tabs open and my previous devices were fine) Buffers all the time on YouTube. It's not the wifi because all other devices work fine. I will be returning it, unfortunately.

      The Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop, model number 81N3009BUS, ships with Windows 10 S-Mode and should not fail to a Blue Screen. 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

    This laptop is slower than the macs that were used in the 90's!!! Start up takes at least 5 minutes. Opening an app or browser is like waiting for snail mail to arrive, painfully slow! Screen quality is about the only thing this laptop has going for it, but barely. I'd recommend looking for something different or increasing your spending amount to get something better than this.

      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 and slow APP or files opening, 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.
