Lenovo - Chromebook Duet - 10.1"- Tablet - 128GB - With Keyboard - Ice Blue + Iron Gray

This is a great little device. Build quality is excellent. Screen is bright and colorful. Performance is snappy on the browser, and even better with Android apps/games (never quite realized how an ARM processor on a Chromebook can make such a difference compared to an Intel in this regard). Google Stadia games run great as well. Keyboard is quite good, despite the cramped punctuation keys on the right side, and the magnetic attachment is very secure. Stereo speakers are a bit tinny but plenty loud. Battery life is supposed to be great as well, although I haven't had it long enough to put it through its paces. Lenovo advertises 10 hours on a charge, but many reviewers have been observing 10-12 hours, depending on the activity. The included charger is not a fast charger, but that's ok -- I have plenty of fast chargers lying around at home that are compatible. Software support is terrific -- this is one of the first Chromebooks to have a guaranteed 8 years of Chrome OS updates (through June 2028), which is up from 5-6 years for previous Chromebooks. I think Lenovo did a a bang-up job with this device -- one almost wonders if it was a mistake (given the astonishingly low price) or if the higher ups in the company just let the Chromebook division do whatever it wanted to do without really paying attention. It really is the spiritual successor to the Pixel C (or what the Pixel C was supposed to be in the first place -- a Chromebook), and is now an excellent option for those bemoaning the lack of good Android tablets.

I purchased two of the Lenovo Duet Chromebooks (to replace two aging ASUS Flip C100P Chromebooks)--one for each of our school age boys. While the ASUS provided a great starter Chromebook experience to introduce our boys to a blend of web and android apps, it was starting to noticeably age and programs were not working as well anymore. When I heard about the Duet earlier this year, I immediately started to follow the news and preordered two from BB at the end of April. After all the wait and hype, I was not disappointed. For my kids, this is by far the best value for the money and gives them everything they need for virtual school and beyond. Prior to having the Duet, our boys would use a mix of their Chromebooks and Amazon Fire Tablets for school/apps/media consumption. Now with the Duet, they are no longer interested in their Amazon Fire Tablets and use their Chromebooks for all school/apps/media consumption. The screen quality as well as the included keyboard and kickstand make this a great device for them and relatively easy to use. As a parent, having controls that are easy to set up and maintain over what they can access on the web through supervising their accounts with Google Family Link makes the experience of a Chromebook highly preferable to either pure Android/Apple devices (and I own and use both). In addition to the Lenovo Duet Chromebook, we purchased two of the HP USI Rechargeable Styluses (directly from HP as they are not yet available through BB) to augment their Duets. I'll also briefly mention that access for a line-in audio only through the one USB-C port does not hinder our ability to use the devices as our boys use reasonably priced Bluetooth Headphones (EasySM brand from Amazon) which pair and stay connected without any problems. The combination of the Duet, the USI Stylus, and Bluetooth Headphones is an amazing blend that all work well together. So glad that we found the Lenovo Duet Chromebook and I would highly recommend it for those looking for both a great value and high quality Chromebook for their kids!

I've owned two Samsung Chromebooks (the one released right after the original chromebook CR-48), which I thought were amazing, two Toshiba Chromebook 2 chromebooks which I thought could not be bested, better sound quality than the Samsung, higher resolution screen and faster. But the Lenovo Duet is even better. The duet is really awesome! The only thing I'm surprised by is that I don't see the "Chrome Circle" logo anywhere on the device. It's powerful enough to let you run Android Apps side by side with Chrome. You can split screen, type on the keyboard and use the trackpad, or use the touch screen with gestures or a USI pen (I haven't tried the pen yet but I have one on order) It comes with 4GB memory and 128 GB of storage. I have Disney+, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Zoom, Google Meet, Hangouts, Libby (Library reader), Kindle, and other apps installed and they work great! I can run them split screen side by side with chrome. Casting your desktop to a TV and switching between screens is a breeze! The screen can do a resolution up to 1920 x 1080, but comes enlarged by default. 1920 x 1080 is really small on a 10.5" screen. But don't let the size deter you! This device is really great! All of the normal ALPHA and NUM keys on the keyboard are the normal keyboard size. some of the keys, (backspaces, tab, search, [, ], ', / are about 2/3 the width of normal. The arrow keys are smaller too, but for typing, the keyboard is perfectly adequate. I'm writing this review on it now. Other folks have reviewed the device and spoke highly of the build quality. They are not kidding. Very high quality! To use an HDMI monitor, get a USB-HDMI adapter. For thumb drives, get an adapter that supports USB-A as well. Some dongles support multiple options at once. I haven't tried a mouse yet because the trackpad works great. I may get a Logitech 535 bluetooth mouse for my wife, but she seems to do well with just the trackpad. The speakers don't have a lot of bass, but you can definitely hear them. It's a perfect device that starts quickly has 8 years of support and easy maintenance (no messing with operating system upgrades), all for under $300!

I brought it to my grandson Clayton yesterday. He set it up himself and is having fun finding out all that he can do with it! He will be doing his class school work on it daily.

Small, incredibly light, and yet has excellent battery life, and runs Android apps exceptionally well. Chrome OS is finally starting to show it's ready for tablets.

The perfect lightweight companion when I am on the go or sitting in bed. Love the bright glossy screen. I actually use it in Laptop mode more than in tablet mode because of the included kickstand case and keyboard. I love this 2-in-1 hybrid Chromebook/tablet.

Feels so great the best I ever had sounds really good also

This is my first chromebook. So far so good. I bought it because of the hype and Lenovo products are dependable.
