    Literal Piece of Trash

    This is by far the worst piece of electronics I’ve ever had. Not even had it for 24 hours and the speakers made a static noise and then stopped working. It’s not a driver problem it’s just terrible quality and the speakers blew with the volume at 50%. Honestly I don’t know how a company could put out such a piece of garbage and put their name on it. If it wasn’t for the fact that I’m going to return it I’d smash it into a 1000 pieces and send it back to Lenovo with a note asking how they could sell this pile of junk. Beyond disappointed and will be returning as soon as the store opens tomorrow.

      The Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop, model number 81N3009BUS, ships with stereo 1.5W system speakers. This is a mid-level, moderate use configuration, with its AMD A6-9225 processor. This Dual-Core processor has a base speed of 2.6GHz and a boost speed of up to 3.0GHz. This configuration has 4GB of RAM. It is good with Microsoft Office type programs, internet browsing and other moderate work. 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 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.

    I'm giving it 1 Stars because I am a current student and when I'm trying to print out my documents that I do on Microsoft Word or Excel my pages don't come out in color just black and white. I have tried changing the settings on Four Color but does not give me that choice just black and white if I was told this when I was in the store browsing around looking for the perfect laptop I would have never had gotten this laptop onlinr. for a students that can not print in color is very frustrating!.. and on top of that I was told that cannot return these laptops or exchange them. just great!...

      The Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop, model number 81N3009BUS, ships with Windows 10 S-Mode Operating System, which 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 you can not properly boot the computer to the Windows 10 Desktop to restore the computer, this system is equipped with OneKey Recovery System. There is a very small pin hole on the right side of the device, right near the headphone jack on the device. You will need a pin to push this reset button. Plug the device in. Let the battery charge for about 15 minutes. Push the reset button. The system should boot to a choice screen where you can choose "Restore To Factory Default". Select this. It will delete everything from the hard drive except the original factory install of the operating system. You will need to reinstall all programs and files after the reset. If you don't have copies of the files, try to make one before you restore by selecting "Boot to desktop" and trying to back up your files. If the problem persists after the factory reset, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686. Lenovo
