Posted .With regard to the touchpad, 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.

Writing this on my phone....
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.because my Lenovo has crashed.... again. Thought I was getting a great deal. Should have known better. Slower than the ten year old computer I replaced it with. Two or 3 minutes to open any program, crashes, forget about the internet... and I've only had it a week! First and last Lenovo I ever buy.

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are having slower than expected performance with your Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop. Programs normally will open on the IdeaPad S145-15 in less than 20-seconds. 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.

BAD, BAD, BAD
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Computer was very slow and kept freezing up when in use. I thought that it may be that particular laptop since I purchased it as an open box item, but I was wrong. I exchanged it for the exact same brand and model and got the exact same problems. I was a nice looking computer but was terrible.

Terrible & Slow
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This computer was decent day one but with internet speeds north of 800 and trying to work on a VPN this computer was terrible. I made it through COVID with it but it is not worth the money. Save your money spend a little more and buy a nicer computer.
