It's perfect for my needs, and even then some. I see people expecting the moon and stars.. from an 11" Chromebook. Let's be realistic!
This device is all about portability and simple tasks. It moves fast for my online classes, browsing, and streaming. I even worked off of it using my web-based documentation system and emailing. It's fast, display is vivid/sharp, setup easy as per Chrome OS usual, and I love the features (camera privacy switch, USB-C ports whether in landscape or portrait mode, space in the back for digital pen if one desires, crisp camera's, and the magnets for the keyboard and the back flap to hold up the tablet part works really well). The keyboard is clickey, which I like. I enjoy the feedback I get when pressing the keys. I appreciate it being a 2-in-1 device that allows for tablet disconnection from the keyboard and how easy it is to snap it right back in when needing to get some typing in.
For someone on-the-go like myself, needing to get things done throughout the day during little break times? I def recommend.
Hey Jeslynluciaa, and thanks again for choosing Lenovo! It is so good to hear that your Duet Chromebook is perfect for your needs and helps you in your day-to-day. Thank you again for sharing your perspective with us.

Overall:
Great tablet for light tasks and study support!
Pros:
- Compact and convenient for streaming and internet browsing
- Excellent companion device for multitasking alongside a laptop
- Handles basic tasks smoothly, including documents, emails, browsing, and lecture videos
- Reliable performance even with split-screen use (e.g., documents + ebook)
- Keyboard is smooth and responsive
- No noticeable speed issues during typical use
Cons:
- Stylus sold by Best Buy is not magnetic, making it easier to misplace

Recommendations:
- Opt for a magnetic stylus from alternate online sources for better portability
- Invest in a case and screen protector to prevent wear from the keyboard

I am really happy with the purchase. The chrome book is very lightweight, the speed is ok for my needs: I mostly search the web and do some work. The size is perfect for my needs.

I bought this for my super intelligent and creative 7 year old son and we love it. Its very stylish and the camera on the back makes it even more stylish, it's easy to use and set up, fast and easy to navigate. It's perfect for light work and everyday use. He'll be using it for small tasks and entertainment. I dont believe its suitable for work in my opinion but great for simple tasks.

The Lenovo Duet 11 Chromebook is a solid budget-friendly 2-in-1, ideal for casual browsing, media consumption, and light productivity. Its 11-inch 2K touchscreen is surprisingly crisp and vibrant for the price, making it enjoyable for watching videos and reading. The included keyboard and kickstand are a welcome addition, transforming it into a functional, if somewhat cramped, laptop.
However, the MediaTek Kompanio 838 and 4GB of RAM mean it's not a powerhouse. Expect some slowdown with multiple tabs or demanding apps. The 128GB eMMC storage is adequate for basic use, but power users might find it limiting.
Pros:
Bright and sharp 2K touchscreen.
Included keyboard and kickstand.
Portable and lightweight.
Affordable price.
Cons:
Modest performance (4GB RAM, MediaTek processor).
Limited storage (128GB eMMC).
Keyboard can feel cramped.
Overall: The Lenovo Duet 11 is a great value for those seeking a portable and versatile Chromebook for everyday tasks. If you prioritize screen quality and portability over raw performance, it's a worthwhile option.
We are glad to hear that the Duet offers great value to you, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective in great detail with us.

Perfect for our child for school use. It's compact and fun for her to use and motivates her to finish her schoolwork. The keyboard detaches super easily, which has downsides, and I do wish it was a little more protected. We are probably going to purchase another for one of our other children.

This is easy to use and fast! I love that I was able to load my information through my Google account. I would give it five stars, but it does not accommodate additional storage with an SD slot.

Excellent computer. It has an excellent use interface, and a surprisingly well made camera (I wasn’t expecting this). It’s a great selection for students or those who want a small 2-in-1 for on the go usage. It fits right in seamlessly and is super light, so it won’t add much to your baggage (you could even take it by hand with not much trouble).
The case it comes with includes a cutout for the pencil (additional purchase) and a kickstand built into it.
The keyboard is super easy to attach and reattach. The connectivity is not the absolute best, as it can be a little stronger, but overall, not bad.
However, there are a few drawbacks. One being the consistent issue with the CPU and/or RAM. If you’re planning on running multiple (even two) apps, be prepared for delays or lag.

This Chromebook is not for everybody. It is not an option to use this device on your lap due to the method it uses to stand up. That's okay for me; I never place any laptop computer in my lap. This device does not have enough RAM to open multiple tabs in Google Chrome or to multitask. That's okay for me; I very seldom open more than one tab in a browser or multitask. The screen is quite small and the keyboard is compressed. That's okay for me; this device is the size of a tablet. I am used to using tablets when I am away from my desk. I actually like the compressed keyboard.
The one great thing I think everyone would agree on is this Chromebook's battery life. I have used it for about 15 hours on one charge. Another plus for most users would be the sharpness of the 2K display that helps you forget about its small size.
You can separate the keyboard from the unit and use it as a tablet. However - as least as far as I can tell - you cannot use the keyboard when it is separated. Perhaps this is not a big need, but it would have been nice.
In summary, I think it is up to the buyer to assess the appropriateness of this Chromebook. It is a great fit for me, but will it be a good fit for you? I can't say.

Suits my needs. It's lightweight and fits easily in my purse. I was looking for a smaller computer for international travel. I normally wouldn't have opted for a Chromebook but for the price it suited my needs. I am impressed. Better than I thought it would be and does everything I wanted it to. 4G doesn't seem to slow it down much. Keyboard is easy to use and good battery life.

I am very pleased with the Lenovo Duet 11 Chromebook. The 11" 2K LCD touchscreen is bright, crisp, and responsive, making it perfect for both work and entertainment. The 2-in-1 design allows for seamless switching between laptop and tablet modes, which adds a lot of versatility. The MediaTek Kompanio 838 processor performs smoothly for everyday tasks, and the 4GB RAM handles multitasking with ease. With 128GB of eMMC storage, I have plenty of space for my files and apps. The keyboard is comfortable to type on, and the Luna Gray color gives it a sleek, modern look. Overall, it's a compact, lightweight device that offers excellent functionality at a great value.

This device is the perfect combination of a tablet and a Chromebook. It's small and lightweight for amazing portability. The keyboard has a soft touch and I appreciate the option to use the magnetic stand with the keyboard or to use the tablet on its own. The display is beautiful too!

I love all of the features of my tablet. The size and weight is just right for what I will be using it for - mainly entertainment - but some photography projects as well. I love the option to use touchscreen and the keyboard which is detachable. I have only had the tablet for about one month but I haven't had any issues or complaints yet and I really don't expect to. I did, however, purchase a two year warranty.

I’ve had my Lenovo Duet 11 for about 2 months now and it’s been amazing. I use it every day for homework and online classes, and it’s super easy to use. It doesn’t weigh anything, so I can take it anywhere without a problem. The size is small but honestly perfect, and the battery lasts me through the day. Switching between tablet and laptop mode makes it really practical. For school and daily use, this Chromebook has been just what I needed.

The Duet 11 Chromebook is a wonderful laptop/tablet for travel provding entertainment, internet access, and a great way to stay in touch when away from our regular computer devices. It well made and right sized to make it easy to fit in your domestic and international travel bags. I love the ease of quickly transforming the laptop format to a touch screen tablet. The cameras are adequate for video calls, but not for regular photography. Battery life is pretty good as well. I haven't found anything in this size and price range that is better!

I got this because I needed something for work and had a very small budget. I'm currently using it as a work computer and even though that is not what's for, it's somehow it's holding up okay. I knew the 4gb ram would be a limitation and it is - I can only keep about one application open at a time. Sometimes it lags and that's really frustrating, but the lag is usually because the WiFi is slow or too much RAM is being used. If the WiFi is fast and workload stays light, the tablet will run quite fast. The track pad on the keyboard stinks so I usually scroll with my fingers, but the other keys are great. Overall this is my first tablet and I like how small and portable it is. It's holding its own and helping me hold my job until I can save for a proper laptop. If you have a bigger budget I'd say look elsewhere, but if you're budget is small like mine this is great.

I decided to jump into a Chromebook to replace my aging Surface Go. I know the target audience for Chromebooks are folks that may only need to browse the Internet or check their email online. I strongly recommend deciding if there are certain apps, like Outlook or Quickbooks, that you cannot do without.
That said, the Lenovo Duet 11 does start quickly and runs very well when just browsing or streaming content. Writing quick emails or texting is much simpler with a full keyboard.
There is a learning curve with the Chrome OS after decades with Windows. Personally, I find it to be an okay compromise between Android and Windows. Some of the apps from the Play Store can take some getting used to when running on the Chromebook vs Android.
It is frustrating to not be able to use some apps that I rely on, like Outlook (lose a lot of features) and Quicken. But I expected that. I get around it by using a remote desktop app to run these apps from my desktop. That might not be possible for everyone.
