Needed a replacement Laptop FAST
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Needed the drive space. Walked in, knew the brand was reliable. So I went with this model. Once I got home, I was up and running in minutes. Restored the data I needed (from external drive backup). Unfortunately, Office 365 is VERY unstable. . .

Cheap laptop does ok

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with the Touchpad turning off. Try tapping the HotKey in the F6 position on your keyboard. This HotKey toggles the Touchpad on/off and may have inadvertently been touched while typing. Additionally, you can make adjustments to the touchpad in your system settings. You can get there by clicking on the magnifying glass at the bottom left of your Windows 10 screen. Type "touchpad" in the search window. Select "Mouse & touchpad settings" from the list of choices. You can make general adjustments to the touchpad there. You can also select "Additional mouse options" for more detailed adjustments to the touchpad sensitivity by increasing the delay of the touchpad.

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are having issues adjusting the touchpad on your Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop. You can make adjustments to the touchpad in your system settings. You can get there by clicking on the magnifying glass at the bottom left of your Windows 10 screen. Type "touchpad" in the search window. Select "Mouse & touchpad settings" from the list of choices. You can make general adjustments to the touchpad there. You can also select "Additional mouse options" for more detailed adjustments to the touchpad sensitivity by increasing the delay of the touchpad. If you are still experiencing touchpad issues, such as programs running slow, 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.

I returned it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This computer I thought would be like any other inexpensive computer...I was wrong. It was extremely slow, and the camera although the light would signify it was on, did not work. All of the drivers and software were updated and support could not seem to support the issue. I returned it and paid a little more but ultimately I got a better computer.

Bad Windows 10 Build Makes this Frustrating
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this laptop for friend and am setting it up before handing it over. To get Windows updates, I had to log into Windows and used my own cell number for verification. That turned into the primary alias which Microsoft has made impossible to change. I spent over 2 hours with support and it was useless help. But I learned part of the problem is that the Lenovo build is set up to run in Safemode and will only accept software from the Windows store. Microsoft support uses software outside of their own store (how interesting). Is is a Levnovo problem? Microsoft problem? Why should I have to figure this out. I just want a laptop that can easily be configured. I am ready to return this laptop. Only buy this if you want to waste time and get a headache.
