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

With so many Chromebooks in this price range feeling overwhelmingly cheap and low quality, not only is the Duet a breath of fresh air but a steal as well. I purchased this little guy as a bit of a 'sidegrade' from my aging Chromebook Plus, and since then I haven't looked back! Even my 2020 iPad Pro is collecting dust! So far, performance has been excellent when you keep in mind what this little tablet is. The ARM processor in the Lenovo scores roughly double that of the previously mentioned Chromebook on synthetic benchmarks, and so far I've experienced minimal issues or hiccups (for you phone geeks out there, the processor falls in somewhere in-between the admittedly ancient Snapdragon 810 and 835). It zips through everyday tasks such as word processing and web browsing with ease using 4-5 tabs, though video playback through the browser can make it sweat a little with some minor hitches. If you're looking for something to do heavy lifting or lots of multitasking, I'd look elsewhere. Build quality for the price is absolutely nuts as well. The tablet and keyboard sections of the device feel great, and I feel they punch decently above their price class. Especially the tablet, which I find to be very pretty and premium feeling! To note, people with larger hands may find the keyboard a bit uncomfortable and cramped, but those with glove size M and below should be totally fine. However, the back kickstand and the plastic trackpad feel a bit on the flimsy side (though I wouldn't exactly use the word cheap). But at the end of the day, what are you really going to complain about? It's less than 300 bucks and didn't "need" to be bundled! I'm just happy the extra accessories were included at this almost suspiciously low price. Android apps also work like a dream for the most part. Most basic apps such as Youtube, Gmail, VLC, Minecraft, ect. seem to work just fine without any trouble. But if you really like to tinker, it is very easy to unlock Developer Mode to mess with 3rd party apps such as Youtube Vanced, which work wonderfully. The only issues I encountered were the Netflix and Hulu apps streaming only in standard definition (non-HD) quality, which is super lame but is a Chrome OS issue not specific to this machine. The Disney Plus app works a treat though, and either way non-HD playback issues can be resolved simply by using the internet browser instead of an app. Screen and speaker quality are also definitely great for the price. Many people have bashed the speaker quality online, but I actually find them fairly decent with better-than-average mid and high notes. Admittedly, bass and lower frequency reproduction is completely non-existent, but I feel like this could be helped if Google implemented an in-OS volume equalizer. Come on Google! The built in screen is a high-resolution, full-HD, IPS panel. Which is again, slightly unexpected at this price point. Viewing angles are excellent, though my model in particular seems to have some very slight color and brightness uniformity issues. This seems to be more of my trained eye than anything else, as no other people have noticed any difference on my unit. Just figured I'd mention for you picky folks out there, but I'm chalking this one up ultimately as a non-issue and more to do with the screen technology itself. Especially since I've seen much more egregious cases of this on $1000+ devices. Also: if you plan on transporting this with the keyboard attached... Be absolutely sure to buy a screen protector, as my tempered glass shield has already accumulated quite a collection of fine scratches after less than a month of use! Hey, if you're still here thanks for reading! At the end of the day, I couldn't recommend this tablet/ 2-in-1 enough for anybody looking to spend less than 400 bucks on a Chromebook. It runs cool, silent, and very quick as long as you don't throw too many things at it. I can see myself using this as a workshop companion for years to come... Or at least until Lenovo or another manufacturer makes a worthy successor!

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 just got it and so far so good! I haven’t really cracked into all the features yet but in my opinion it’s the best bang for your buck! If you’ve had it in your car for a while and your not sure if you should pull the trigger; I’d say go for it! you can always return it if it’s not for you LOL. But I’m definitely keeping it! The picture is great; quality is great; it comes with a snap on cover with kickstand a keyboard and it also comes with a headphone adapter... Bottom line I’m happy!! And I was really nervous about making the purchase but I’m glad I did.

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 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.

I have 3 chromebooks. 1 work chromebook and this is my 2nd personal chromebook. My other chromebook which is a work horse is able to run 2 32" 4K monitors at 60 HZ while multitasking relatively lag free. However it weighs like 6 LB and is really bulky. I bought this chromebook mainly because it is small and in tablet form. It also weighs 1 LB with none of the accessories on it so it is LIGHT. I tried doing the multitasking/screen thing and what I found is that it is able to run 1 of the monitors at 30 HZ with some lag and trouble. Which is to be expected. However this quasi thinkpad keyboard is great. So why exactly would you buy a ChromeOS tablet rather than an Android tablet? Because Android resembles more of a mobile UI and functions more like a phone while this functions like a .. chromebook. But in tablet form. Also in general ChromeOS products tend to get 6-8 years of updates while Android depends mainly on the manufacturer for updates so around 1-3 years. After ChromeOS stops getting updated you have another solid 5 years of use before it becomes to obsolete. With Android you have about 10 years max before it starts becoming unsupported.

I have now had this 2in1 chromebook for a month and I am impressed. It has great amount of storage 128 gb, 4g ram . The picture quality is great, it compare to some of the premium tablets out there.
