Design

The Lenovo Ideapad S145 budget notebook is a sturdy and reliable laptop made of (polyphenylene sulfide) plastic that is both portable and durable.

The Lenovo Ideapad S145’s lid extended to a maximum angle of 180 degrees, and unlike the ThinkBook or Thinkpad series, the Lenovo inscription is different.

It’s etched nicely in the lid’s right top corner. The display screen is also contained within the Ideapad S145 lid, which has narrow bezels on the top, left, right, and bottom. The 720p HD webcam is located on the top bezel.

Similarly, the Lenovo Ideapad S145 includes a bar hinge that is stiff enough to prevent swaying while typing, regardless of the angle.

The glossy plastic finish on the top cover and keyboard island gives it a classic appeal.

The bottom chassis of the Lenovo Ideapad S145 houses the keyboard, touchpad, Trackpad, numpad, and other components.

Lenovo has also fitted the IdeaPad S145 with an unlit chiclet keyboard that lacks any sort of backlighting.

Short pauses and obvious pressure points are found on the flat, somewhat roughened keys.

Similarly, there are separate keys for media playback and previous track on the numpad section.

For a better experience, it also includes two physical trackpad keys that are integrated underneath the trackpad.

A multi-touch smooth touchpad measuring 10.5 x 7 cm is also included, making it large enough to conduct gestures.

Most of the ports on the Lenovo IdeaPad S145 are on the left side of the device.

The power port for charging, an HDMI port, a USB-A 2.0 port, and two USB-A 3.1 connectors are all located on the left. An SD Card reader and a 3.5mm audio connector for headsets are located on the right.

Display

One of the best features of the Lenovo IdeaPad S145 is the choice of two display screen sizes.

The Lenovo IdeaPad S145 includes a 15.6-inch display and a 14-inch screen as an alternative.

A 15.6-inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels is available. The TN panel used in this Full HD antiglare display boasts better refresh rates, faster reaction times, and lower input latency.

Similarly, the IdeaPad S145 offers a display brightness of up to 220 nits and a 45 percent color gamut, ensuring a vivid, colorful, and crisp image even in bright sunlight.

A 14-inch display is available as a base option, with the same display panel, resolution, and brightness panel.

Processor and Storage

The Lenovo IdeaPad S145 laptop comes with an 8th Gen Intel Core i7 processor in both 14′′ and 15.6′′ sizes, offering you a far more powerful engine.

Due to its enhanced 14 nm manufacturing process, this CPU unit is believed to be power efficient and delivers a greater clock speed.

Despite the fact that the Lenovo IdeaPad S145 15.6-inch and 14-inch are powered by the same CPU, the graphics cards are different.

The NVIDIA GeForce MX230 graphics card in the Lenovo S145 15.6-inch is more efficient as a daily work GPU than for competitive gaming.

The IdeaPad S145 14-inch, on the other hand, is equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce MX110 graphics card. This GPU card is an entry-level graphics card that isn’t suited for high-end gaming.

Furthermore, the Lenovo IdeaPad S145 series includes up to 12GB of RAM, a 2TB SATA HDD, and 512GB PCIe SSD card storage for a better user experience.

Similarly, the IdeaPad S145 is powered by Windows 10 Home. As a result, the user experience will be smoother and the interface will be improved.

Battery

The battery capacity is one of this Lapto’s greatest flaws. The Lenovo IdeaPad S145 is powered by a two-cell lithium-ion battery.

This battery has a 35Wh capacity and will last for no more than 6 hours of continuous use on a single charge.

Other Features

The Lenovo IdeaPad S145 has two 1.5W speakers on the lower front lip, each with Dolby AudioTM, which provide excellent sound.

Furthermore, the Lenovo S145 is equipped with Bluetooth 4.2 and an 802.11 AC 11 wireless network that provides a high-speed connection.

Dual fans and two heat pipes are also included in the IdeaPad S145 for improved cooling.
