Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently purchased the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5 Chromebook 2-in1 Laptop from Best Buy, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. This device has truly exceeded my expectations in every way. First and foremost, the user-friendly interface makes it incredibly easy to navigate, whether I’m working on a project or just browsing the web. The 13.3" FHD touchscreen is responsive and vibrant, enhancing my overall experience. The ability to switch between laptop and tablet modes effortlessly is a game changer, making it perfect for both productivity and leisure. The performance powered by the Snapdragon 7cG2 chip is impressive. With 8GB of RAM and 128GB of eMMC storage, multitasking has been a breeze. I can easily run multiple applications without any lag, which is essential for my daily tasks. One of the standout features for me is the long battery life. I can use it for hours on end without needing to charge, making it ideal for on-the-go use. Whether I'm at a café, in a meeting, or lounging at home, I don’t have to worry about finding an outlet. The Abyss Blue color adds a sleek and modern touch, and the included keyboard provides a comfortable typing experience. Overall, the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5 has proven to be an outstanding Chromebook, combining versatility, performance, and style. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable and efficient device!

The Duet 5 is the perfect 2 in 1 follow up to the older sibling, the OG and smaller Duet. Build quality - Overall is mid to high end all around and very solid. Keyboard: Strikes the perfect balance between light for mobile use but also rock solid sturdy with good key travel. Not backlit. I also own the HP X2 11 but I dislike the keyboard on that 2 in 1. It feels like a flimsy cardboard compared to the nice solid keyboard on this Duet 5. Unlike its smaller sibling or the HP X2 11, this keyboard finally has a magnet, so the keyboard does not shift around once closed. Great improvement here. Back cover: The material has a very similar high end gray fabric feel to the OG Duet, which is very nice. The kickstand hinge is solid but also easy enough to open/close with one hand, which is great. Both the OG Duet and even worse, the HP X2 11 kickstand hinge is unnecessarily tight. Performance Much improved speed of use compared to the OG Duet, but obviously not nearly as snappy as a 11th-gen Intel Tiger Lake i3 like on my Flex 5i. The Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 is also a slight improvement to the first Gen, which is on the HP X2 11. Definitely a noticeable speed difference between those generations in every day use, but unless you are comparing side by side, you really won't notice or care. Overall, I'm perfectly happy with the start up and every day use performance. Battery Life: Very very good battery life. I never tested to depletion, but I would use it all day, light to medium use for work and entertainment (emails, browsing, document editing, YouTube, Netflix, etc.), and would have plenty left in the tank. My guess is that with light to medium use like me, it would last a good 10-15 hrs, lower end of that for heavy video watching. Screen: Last and the 'best' part, the screen quality. Wow! This OLED screen is insanely beautiful. The colors pop and the brightness is more than what you will need, even for the outside. I've got the Lenovo Flex 5i which is a similar 13.3" screen, and this 13.3" OLED screen blows that out of the water. Overall : Very happy with the purchase and performance. Similar thoughts to the HP X2 11, which is that I would avoid paying full price. I'm a Chromebook junkie so I paid full price. :) Be smart and just wait a couple of months if you can, and the price will go down a good $100-$150 for sure. At $350-$400, it is without a doubt, a DEIFNITE buy!

I recently purchased the Lenovo and it has quickly become my favorite piece of tech. From its sleek design to its impressive performance, this laptop ticks all the boxes for a modern, efficient, and powerful computing experience. The first thing that caught my eye was the laptop’s sleek, minimalist design. It is crafted from high-quality materials, giving it a premium feel. It’s remarkably thin and lightweight, making it perfect for on-the-go professionals like myself. The backlit keyboard is not only visually appealing but also incredibly comfortable for long typing sessions It features a stunning display with vibrant colors and sharp details. Whether I’m editing photos, watching movies, or working on presentations, the visual quality is top-notch. The narrow bezels enhance the viewing experience, making it immersive and enjoyable. Audio Quality: The speakers deliver clear, crisp sound, which is perfect for video calls and media consumption. Security: The fingerprint reader adds an extra layer of security and convenience. Thermal Management: The laptop stays cool even during intensive tasks, thanks to its efficient cooling system. Overall, the Lenovo is an exceptional laptop that combines style, performance, and portability. It meets all my professional and personal

This device is a beast. I'm still amazed that it costs so little. I use it to read sheet music in concert band, take digital pint classes (with a stylus I bought that works great), and just about everything else. The keyboard is nice. It attaches and detaches as if it thinks on its own. I did have to buy a stylus and stylus holder separately. The battery is amazing. I dont understand how it lasts so much longer than my phone. Maybe it's some form of nuclear fusion. ;) The screen is excellent. It works well using you finger or a stylus. Chrome OS has its own gestures for the keyboard mouse or just your fingers. Once I learned those getting around was easy. The camera is sort of 'meh', but the device works best when working with your phone and not replacing it, so I just use my phone's camera. After using this, I've become a fan of both Chromebooks and Lenova.

Its a great little device. The included peripherals feel far more premium than other competitive products. Its incredibly convenient, functioning as a chromebook and a tablet. It crosses over seemlessly. Its not the best tablet, nor the best chromebook, but it finds a sweet spot between them that no one else seems to have figured out. The standby battery is exceptional, more what you would expect from a tablet rather than a chromebook. Its lasted upwards of three days and barely decreased. The screen, its only 1080p, but the OLED panel look REALLY nice.

Compact, fast, great battery, stylish, great price. There are better faster machines, but for all basic workloads it gets the job done

This is my first Chromebook and I'm pretty happy with my purchase. The Chromebook is fast, has a great screen size and picture quality. I literally finished a series of 8 episodes and the battery still had 54% of battery left!!!! I find myself watching lots of content. I was worried about the speaker quality because of the reviews about it but I don't have any complaints The audio is loud and clear and I'm able to stream movies and watch them without headphones or Bluetooth speaker. If you find this in discount you MUST get it!

This is a great little product for my business. The battery life is insane! I went a few days before half the battery was drained. The display is Incredible The speakers are okay I guess. And it allows me to download apps from the playstore! Although I use this device Primarily for business, I really wanted to test the capabilities of this device. I plugged in my stadia controller using the usb and it also worked like a charm for a few games. Although this product is limited to doing everything I use regular computers for, Chrome has failed to disappoint me and I don't regret purchasing it!

This is an amazing tablet. I bought it as a replacement for my laptop and now I use it pretty much as my laptop. Super fast and reliable. If you work using the cloud as I do definitely consider this product. Superior than iPad. The battery is ridiculously good. I went on a one month vacation I came back and the battery was still full.

I've only had this computer for a couple of weeks, and I'm learning a new OS after working in the Microsoft environment for the past 30 years. The short of it is—I really like this laptop. Its form factor is very similar to the Surface Pro 6. Unlike the Pro, this came with a reasonably good keyboard. The case feels a little cheap, and reviews I've read suggest that the kickstand doesn't hold the screen upright very well. I haven’t had any issues yet, but time will tell. This little machine comes with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. Since most of my operational documents are stored in the cloud, the 128 GB should be sufficient for my needs. I just need to download local copies of critical documents so I can work on them when Wi-Fi isn’t available. So far, that’s been working well. It has only two USB-C ports and no expansion slots for a microSD card. Since the machine charges through one of the USB ports, that leaves only one available slot for accessories. A USB port expansion hub is definitely in order. The screen is bright and clear, and the boot-up time is instantaneous. At the original price point of $299, I wish I had bought two. Now that the price is $499, I still would have purchased one—but I’ll just have to keep an eye out for the next time it goes on sale.

Honestly, this little computer can do so much more than you think. I've been using mine for over a year (bought mine in March 2022 then bought my friend one in January). The device multitasks much better than you'd think for an arm processor, the battery lasts 8-10 hours easily, and this display is beautiful. My only hesitation would be if you do a lot of typing. The keyboard works really well but is not great for putting on your lap. This is not just an entertainment device and is great if you can get it for under $400. Finally make sure you get the 8gb of ram model. Chrome OS does not run great on 4gb anymore. The best buy model will always have 8gb of ram and 128gb storage. Also more there is no micro SD card slot but you can use a dock with the additional USB c port. It can also output a display at 1080p 60hz.

amazing product for those who need a portable internet experience low spec, but such a fine product, seriously, so great love the screen and the battery life I don't need anything more than this product love the keyboard as well, the ports on each side are super useful great Chromebook, great android tablet, and great value for the price

Works as advertised. Needed it for school work and for light video streaming. Bought another one as a gift for someone else it worked so well and for a reasonable price. Great battery life, light weight and is touch screen as well!

I recently purchased this Lenovo laptop from Best Buy and I couldn’t be happier with it! It’s the perfect size for home use—lightweight, compact, and super convenient to move around the house or take on the go. It came with tons of great apps already installed, so it was ready to go right out of the box. The performance is smooth and reliable, and it includes everything I need for both work and entertainment. I also really appreciate the accessories that came with it—they just made the whole package even better. And the price? Perfect for my budget! Overall, I absolutely love this laptop. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a solid, affordable, and well-equipped computer!

What I liked Gorgeous OLED display, Long battery life, Lightweight, Portable and Versatile. Good all in one. What I didn't like Limited performance, the processor is not the fastest, so it can sometimes lag when you're multitasking or using demanding applications. There is no headphone jack, so you'll need to use Bluetooth headphones or a USB-C adapter. The keyboard is small and cramped, so it may not be comfortable for everyone. Limited ports, only has two USB-C ports, so you may need to use a hub if you want to connect multiple devices.

Great Chromebook and got a really good deal on it too! I really like the detachable keyboard vs the flip over style 2-in-1. Would definitely recommend! **Just make sure you purchase a plan that covers screen replacement/repair. The screen cracks way easier than normal laptops.

This size is not small enough to be a tablet, but yet a useful size in between a laptop and tablet. Easy to use, and convenient to carry with you. You dont have to buy any covers as it already has keyboard and covering. Totally Satisfied with it. Compared to price, this is a good deal.

I love it! I love that’s light and easy to bring to work. I have the 11’ Lenovo ideapad duet 3 already for two years. Recently I decided to get the duet 5. The OLEAD is amazing.

Had the Duet 10.1 and loved it on my treadmill to watch trail videos while walking/running. Upgraded to the Duet 5 and could not be more happy ! Put this on my treadmill (didn't even take the keyboard out of the box) and WOW what a difference it makes ! I'll keep the 10.1 for couch surfing !

Super light, easy to work on and carry around, and convenient since it is touchscreen. Best laptop i have had at such a good price. Also the better life is amazing if it’s fully charged I don’t have to worry about it all day and night.
