Let me start off my review by saying I own many of the original Duets. This new 13.1 in version has an amazing screen. The keyboard is much improved over the new version as well. This is where the positives end for me.
Sound quality on this is awful. It sounds like the speakers are inside of a beer can.
Actual use and moving around the operating system does not feel much different than the original Duet which can literally be had for half of this price point. With not much open the use of navigation feels lagged at times. There's no way that a $500 Chromebook should feel this way. When switching back from one tab to a YouTube tab there's about a two second delay until the video actually catches back up to the sound you were listening to.
The other problem that I am finding is that this is an 8GB tablet. The version of Chrome OS it is running out of the box is a 32bit version. 32-bit operating systems cannot make use of any more than 4 gigs of RAM. This is getting power washed and going back tomorrow. I had such high hopes for this.

Love it. Great for catching up online with friends, shopping and paying bills. Also great to grab the tablet part and read my book before going to bed - or stream music. Lightweight enough that I can throw in my purse on the go. EVERY MOM NEEDS THIS!!!

I really like this laptop. My 1st time using Chrome OS. Taken me a little getting used to. Only complaint is the installed mousepad is a bit difficult. But for that I would have rated it 5 stars.

I bought this during black Friday thinking it was the cheapest option for college. This idealpad is amazing for taking notes, watching shows, and multitasking multiple things. My favorite thing is the picture in picture so can do notes and watch my shows. This was a great purchase I even got one for my sister and boyfriend. Love this can't say it enough!!!!!

This review unfortunately is very much biased from the fact that my Lenovo Duet 5 Chromebook has stopped working after 2 hours of usage.
It won't turn on or charge at all.
Also seemed a bit lagging for the 2h during which was working.
On the bright side, the aesthetic is amazing and the OLED screen is beautiful.

Would not start. From the internet, this seems to be a regular problem with this laptop. Some defective models have issues with the laptop being able to be turned on. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

PWM on the Duet 5 is the worst I have ever seen. I was excited to try this after the original was a nice offering, but it's a no go.
