I am a broke college student looking for something to take notes on and listen to lectures on. For starters, I am not a massive fan of the speakers. If you want to hear a YouTube video, you have to turn your speakers up to its' max setting literally. Also, if you leave the tablet unattended for just 2 minutes, it will not enter sleep mode, but instead, it will completely shut off and restart itself. I have had this happen many times in class where I will be right in the middle of taking notes, leave the tablet unattended for 2 minutes, and all my notes will be gone entirely when I come back, asking me to enter my pin into the tablet all over again. If your professor posts lectures with Microsoft PowerPoint, get ready because it will absolutely be buggy. My professor will sometimes post lectures with audio that you have to click on in order to listen. On here it is a nightmare getting the audio to play. No matter how much you click the little speaker icon to hear the audio, it will not work. I had to use an actual computer instead. Lastly, if you are using this tablet for school, it is almost impossible to use it without a pen. You cannot write eligible notes without the pen, and you might have a hard time scrolling through things with just your finger. Overall though this is a very nice tablet, but it could use a lot of work.

I would absolutely give this 5 stars except for the 4GB RAM. Overall, the Duet 3 performs well and is very capable, but its limited RAM severely impacts performance when you install more than a handful of applications. Multitasking is fine as long as you keep it to just a couple apps. I recommend the Duet 3, but I highly recommend purchasing the 8GB model instead.

I've had the original duet since July 2020, and use it everyday as my computing device. I purchased the duet 3 because I'm concerned the battery in my original duet is not holding a charge as well as it used to, but also for the slightly larger screen size and faster processor. However, there are limitations with the duet 3, even though it's on the same Chrome OS version as the original duet. I have intermittent issues with connecting this to a larger screen (requiring a system reboot), something I use for zoom exercise classes and also connecting to my calendar through my aCalendar app.

Good tablet Chromebook. Great screen and a relatively good keyboard. The piece of cover that attaches to the back of the device has very weak magnets, you can easily move it from its place simply by trying to unfold the stand. A minor inconvenience but still. But what I don't understand is why Lenov is so reluctant to add a fingerprint scanner to their tablet Chromebooks. They have them on even the cheapest of their laptops but not on Duet tablets. The form factor suggests that you pick it up and put it down many times, it is not like with a full-blown laptop that you might sit and work for hours. So it is super-annoying to enter a 6-digit passcode every time you want to check or do something quick, let alone type in a password. You might think it is nothing, but when ALL your other devices have some sort of ID scanner it is really weird to get a $400 device that doesn't have it. I understand not having it on a $150-$200 device, but on a $400 one?

Good lil book Can’t rest it on lap, so you need a table or something to hold it up. Really good screen and fast start up. The battery life is noice

This Chromebook was slow from the outset, before any heavier lifting tasks. Other Chromebooks have spoiled me with blazing speed, so every hesitation was bothersome.

I wanted a simple little tablet with a keyboard that would fit on my work desk so I could use Google Docs when the creative urge took hold. It works perfectly for that, but not much else. Wifi connection is spotty, it gets the ghost touch pretty frequently, and there’s an update almost every day. But you do get what you pay for.

It lags on certain app it’s okay but definitely recommend an I pad instead
Jules Posted
Nicely built however the ratio for the 11 inch seems too long vertically and not comfortable to hold in hand. Also the LCD screen was not that sharp notice blurry edges.

I really do like this laptop but it was kind of slow with some aspects and I haven’t used it because the screen display was messed up by my pet but I think I’m going to repair it
