O showmetech had the opportunity to test this device that offers a satisfying experience, thanks to the balance in its settings. The full analysis can be seen below.
Design 145g70
The notebook ideapad s145 It has a modest and beautiful design at the same time. Silver in color, it weighs approx. 1,85 kg and features matte details at the top. When you open it, the screen 15,6 inches proved to be a positive point for viewing content thanks to its size and built-in anti-glare. Despite being a bit large, the computer is relatively light and easy to handle.
In addition to the traditional keyboard, the size of the notebook allowed the device to also come with a numeric keypad, even crammed into the corner. The default touchpad is just below the spacebar in case the doesn't want, or doesn't have, an alternative mouse.
Over the weeks of use I have performed well with it, the keys are comfortable and typing is smooth. Unfortunately, the keyboard doesn't come with a backlight, but that's not a negative point considering that it's a basic model.
On the left side is the charger input, one HDMI and three USB inputs – two in 3.1 standard and one 2.0. I missed a network cable entry, in case the wants to use it for better internet performance. Maybe it was discarded by the notebook already equipped with the Wi-Fi AC. This pattern is capable of receiving up to 1,3 Tera Bytes of data, almost three times the speed of the n pattern – most used today.
The right side has an SSD or HDD memory card slot. This extra space can be used if the 512GB SSD are not enough. There is also a headphone jack. Below are the air intakes and two speakers at the tilt of the front, so that the sound is not muffled on the table.

The screen ideapad s145 resolution Full HD (1920 × 1080), with sharp and intense colors, ideal for watching movies and series. The size is also pleasing, as the 15,6 inches are great for that movie session or playing your favorite games. The edges of the screen are thinner, which also helps in taking advantage of the monitor as a whole.
Another advantage is that the screen is equipped with an anti-glare layer, which helps with viewing in bright places. The device can be opened in up to 180 º, allowing for optimal angle adjustment to maintain a straight posture during long hours of use. Both in games and in videos, the resolution proved to be enough to appreciate hidden details in programs with Full HD image available.
Hardware 5l4oe
It is important to that ideapad s145 varies greatly from hardware. You will be able to find models with less memory, different processor, less SSD space and only with HD resolution. The model we tested is the most complete, with a 7th Gen Intel Core i8 1.80GHz of potency. It may not seem like much, but combined with the 8GB of RAM memory and the 512GB of SSD storage, we have a notebook of impressive speed.
The operating system is the Windows 10 and the video card is a NVIDIA GeForce MX110 with 2GB, which has enough power to play games with not too heavy graphics, but there are exceptions. In some cases, the graphics in minimum quality don't look so bad and you can have fun without worries.
With Bluetooth 4.2, 0.3 MP camera and integrated microphone, what left something to be desired in this model was the battery, which lasted just over two hours. So, no more marathon series with the notebook unplugged.
Performance 58a2u
The biggest highlight of ideapad s145 da Lenovo is the speed. When I turned it on for the first time, after making the initial settings, in less than 15 seconds I was already opening files and browsing the internet. Everything is very dynamic and works fluidly, as the SSD does not allow crashes or delays in loading.
I took the opportunity to test some games and the result was also satisfactory. Today's famous e-Sports such as League of Legends, Fortnite e CS-Go ran smoothly, with no frame drops or long loading times. The only catch is that the image settings should be set to medium quality.
I took a little more risk and tested some AAA games, with state-of-the-art graphics. first with Killer Instinct, launched in 2013 for Xbox One e PC, which had its best performance at low graphics quality. In this case specifically, the game didn't look bad, but it's clear that a more powerful graphics card could improve performance.
Already with Gears 5 the result was not the best. Even with the game running smoothly, the graphics loss is considerable and this can disrupt the game experience. Ideally, you should review a title's minimum settings before buying, so you don't get frustrated later. Although the device has this limited capacity for games, there are several titles - especially for online play - that can be enjoyed on the Ideapad.
Watching movies and series is another pleasurable activity on this notebook from Lenovo. The Full HD resolution, combined with the high performance and the 15,6-inch screen, are a real invitation to marathon your favorite series. The snag here is the battery, which has only two hours of autonomy.
Audio 3n1j5g
In of sound, ideapad s145 not surprising. With just 1,5W of power, the speakers are easily overshadowed by outside noise. It can be improved if you have more powerful headphones, but the speakers alone need a lot of silence if you like to listen to loud music or watch movies.
At home I use the Lenovo model ideapad 320 with the same power on the speakers, but the difference in sound range is clear.
Battery 554u5p
The battery life, as I mentioned earlier, is not very expressive. With two cells 35Wh, I even managed to use it for a long time unplugged if the use is not continuous. You can optimize this time by configuring the brightness and battery settings, but if used consistently it lasts just over two hours.
This time is in the average duration, it's not too much or too little, and the recharge time is also long. Another feature that I noticed is that the charger heats up a lot in the socket, but nothing that harms the use.
