PASS. I was going to buy this until I read on the reviews that Microsoft locked this laptop into "S Mode"
. You cannot download any applications unless it is from Microsoft and you cannot use Google unless you permanently get out of S Mode. Once you are out of S Mode, you lose your Windows 11 license. Reviewers are saying they are taking hours trying to delete S Mode without success. Dell tech support responds just call them. This laptop sounds like one big headache.

Nothing a little re-install can't fix. Re-install using the Windows 11 installation media creator, invoke MAS. Done.
Thanks for the guidance but I would have no idea how to accomplish any of that. What exactly do I do?

This is just my opinion.

About a year AMD came out with the 8840HS and the 8845HS. This CPU has the 780m GPU built into it... the 780m was once a top of the line GPU about 8 years ago.

Bottom line, these two CPU can not be beat if you want a decent GPU and not pay the big bucks.

I purchased a Idea Pad by Lenov for $454 (refurbished) with a 8845HS, 1 TB and 16GB.

Wouldn't re-installing Win 11 put you back to S mode since the version is coded to your laptop's serial number?

Yea. I deleted my comment. It's tied to your motherboard ID. You can sometimes get Windows out of S mode by disabling Secure Boot in the BIOS.

SMH...What's up with all this misinformation on slickdeals? Seriously, I'm seeing it more and more often. Why comment with such confidence when you have no idea what you're talking about?

Your statement that you can't visit google, which is just a website, just because this laptop is in "S Mode" is so completely wrong, it's ridiculous.

Secondly, you can get out of S mode incredibly easily. It's literally 2 steps. Here's an official guide:

And no, you don't lose your windows license for pete's sake.
