Mom was happy
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this for my mother as her old laptop was ready to pass away. She has found it easy to use and setup. Her only complaint has been with the amount of updates it wants to do. Was worth purchasing :)

Good and cheap, but, slower than faster models.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend Bought it as a gift
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As the title says I bought it as a gift so I personally don’t have any experience with this computer. My husband says he wishes the processor was faster so he could game on it. He says it lags on Minecraft; I’m honestly not sure if that’s the game itself or the laptop. It doesn’t have a disk drive if you’re wanting that either.

It’s excellent for the price.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was slow at first. I am still experiencing things with it. You definitely need a mouse. Cursor runs wild and you can make mistakes. Other wise ok. I should of saved enough to buy a chrome book.

Very dissatisfied
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm not sure who's responsible. Whether it's a sales or service issue. But I was very disappointed with this purchase. I bought 3 laptops as gifts for my family 6 months ago. The computer I bought for myself I opened right away and started using. The computer was a piece of garbage from the beginning.. runs very slow. Takes 10 to 20 minutes just to get to the home screen. If it makes it there at all. Sometimes I have to restart just to get to the home screen. The other 2 laptops were just opened. They came with 6month subscription for internet security that I asked not to be activated.. They did anyways and so it was expired before I got the chance to use it. So I bought a new subscription for Trend. But when I went to install all all 3 laptops. The system crashed. Geek squad told me that the computers may have been trying to do to many backed up updates at the same time and so it shut the whole operating system down...I'm not a computer genius, but I know enough to know that should not happen with a new computer..not to mention 3 new computers. I have geek squad protection and the tech support membership so non of the repairs are coming out of my pocket. But what disturbs me is that I was told if I didn't have those plans. I would be paying for these repairs out of pocket. Repairs for a bad operating system on a new computer. Repairs that the technical assured me was not my fault and I did nothing wrong...How is that possible I asked.. and I'm still asking and have not gotten a satisfactory answer. I've been dealing with Best Buy for a long time. But now I'm starting to question my loyalty to a brand that would sale such garbage and then blame the manufacturer. Im not the manufacturer customer.. I'm a customer of BEST BUY. And if they don't care enough to make sure the products they sale are up to standards. I think I need to find somewhere else to buy my electronics and office equipment and supplies. Very disappointed with Best Buy.. really thought they were better than the rest.

Posted .Hello, we are sorry to hear you are having this experience with the Lenovo S145 laptop model # 81N3009BUS.This is an entry level, light use system with its AMD A6-9220e processor, with a base speed of 1.6GHz and a boost speed of up to 2.4GHz, 4GB of RAM and a 1TB hard drive. 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 do not 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. Here is a link to instructions for switching from Windows 10 S-Mode to Windows 10 Home: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4456067/windows-10-switch-out-of-s-mode . If you have switched out of S-Mode 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

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop is good for just about anything. Im not to tech savy but it has defiantly served its purpose. My daughter is able to do her schooling, Use her social media to keep in touch with friends during these unknown times and I as well have been able to do daily job searches, update resume, upload all my documents photos and videos without any issues. The camera has decent quality. Only complaint is this laptop will not let me download another search engine because it is in S Mode and I have not been able to figure out how to disable and it also has the microphone muted and I have no idea how to unmute. I am not tech savy but I believe It is worth the money. Satisfied.

Great laptop with features at a great price.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A friend recommended this purchase and I'm glad she did. After calling, going to, and standing in line at area Walmart stores I could not find one laptop available. Neither were any of them comparable in price and features. The Lenovo laptop I purchased online at Best Buy was available in store. It was available for curbside pickup the next day. This was quick, safe and convenient for me especially during the Corona pandemic. I had been without a personal computer for home use for several years. This Best Buy purchase was definitely one for me!

It does the job
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The computer doesnt move that fast after a little use. Takes a long time to log on, the software programs that keep popping up because you cant uninstall the software is annoying. After awhile the computer doesn't hold a long charge. The webcam is not the best has a grainy image.
