    This item is best used as a tablet primarily for browsing etc... when it's just too annoying to use your cell phone and a small screen that comes with it. We have found is the best usage for this tablet is in showing family photos to grandparents and other people using Google photos The keyboard is a fantastic inclusion, but I wouldn't recommend using it as a daily workhorse. It is definitely underpowered with processing power for that goal. I have never used the device that has such robust battery life! I imagine this is going to be phenomenal for long plane flights with kids

    I love Lenovo overall! This brand was my very first purchase on laptops and now that you have made this design, it makes me even happier! A tablet that can be use as a laptop, dual performance is an excellent idea to people like me who loves to be productive and efficient! This device is with me all the time, it just makes my life easier with all of my work life stuff and also an entertainment for me when I needed a break from reality.

    So far performance is okay. Screen is great. Just disappointed as the specs listed that this had a headphone jack, but it does not. Also it seemed that the smaller duet came with a USB-C to headphone jack adapter, but this more expensive model does not. Still debating on returning it for one that has the jack built in. Otherwise, shows look great on here.

    Great product, love the OLED screen and works great for my needs. First time using a Chromebook so it took me a while to get adjusted to finding ways to open up Microsoft type files. It's good for people who just work on emails all day and need something simple and effective as well as using other streaming type video apps.

    My First Chromebook….

    I had made this purchase as a way to have a laptop and still enjoy the convenience of a tablet. When opening up the box, I was quite surprised by how sleek and beautiful the design really was. Not to mention the enormous screen (which, in hindsight, was not as easy to travel with). For the price, I was pretty impressed… until I started using it for my day-to-day general tasks. I would’ve been nice for it to come with a stylus pen (even if it meant going ahead and paying a lil extra). However, my main concern was with it’s connectivity issues. Trying to cast the device wasn’t exactly user friendly. Plus, I ultimately found navigating through the settings and web browser to be more complicated than necessary. Also, the keyboard attachment (which I still do think was a great part of the price) did not stay connected to the tablet, all that well. I did eventually wind up returning the Chromebook and am unfortunately still without a device that’s as functional as a laptop, yet as convenient as a tablet (and still easy on the wallet).

    I absolutely love this Chromebook. This is the first Chromebook I have owed and I can't say enough about it. I can do all my work from home on Office 365, while connecting it to my Android phone to see all my notifications on the screen and reply to all my text messages from the computer. On top of that it works great as a tablet due to having the Google Play Store. In my free time I enjoy watching movies on the amazing OLED screen. My only complaint is the lack of Dolby Atmos. The speakers are decent but could be so much better. Maybe the next iteration will fix this.

    If you have an android phone or live in the Google ecosystem a good Chromebook is better than any Windows laptop. It's light has an awesome screen and battery life is top shelf. Downside is android apps are iffy still. Keep them in phone or tablet mode for more stability. Camera sucks but who cares. All said I use it way more than my windows Ultrabook for day to day functions.

    Great little Chromebook. Got this for my mom as a gift and honestly...I kind of want one now. The form factor is awesome. Its pretty fast too! My only gripe is I wish they made a Chromebook plus version of this with the increased specs. And if they added a better camera it would be a perfect Chromebook.
