    Great product, little bit of a learning curve.

    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.

    A solid Chromebook tablet with few compromises

    Lenovo surprised me with this. I had read good things about the Duet 3 but wanted something a bit larger for consuming media and surfing the web. Lenovo nailed it again with this. The OLED display is great. Some people may not like the switch from 16:10 to 16:9 but the larger, higher quality panel makes up for that. You get inky blacks and vibrant colors with the display; it really blows away any other tablet or Chromebook in the same price range. The screen is bright, the resolution is good for a 13.3" display, it really is a high-quality panel. The overall design has improved so that the tablet feels more substantial. The magnetic back covers doesn't move and the front keyboard cover is now held closed to the tablet with magnets. This feels like it's a $600 tablet package. There's more than enough RAM to handle multi-tasking and dozens of tabs in Chrome. The updated SoC, now a Snapdragon SC7180, isn't going to turn any heads for its performance but it is beyond the MediaTek SoC used in the last system. The Snapdragon chip can handle anything thrown at it without issues. There's plenty of built-in storage with a 128GB SSD, this isn't slower eMMC storage. Apps load quickly, the system cold boots in seconds, and it instantly wakes from sleep. Lenovo also did something great: increase the battery life. I will go 2-3 days of heavy usage before needing to plug this in. Overall battery life is rated at 15 hours (which is beyond any iPad) and I've easily been able to reach 18 hours by turning the screen brightness down to 75%. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting a light Chromebook and tablet that can go anywhere and easily handle anything a Chromebook can. The tablet is easy to handle, comes with a great keyboard cover, and features one of the best displays in a sub-$900 system. My only gripe is I wish Lenovo threw in the pen. I get why they didn't (cost), but there's an empty slot on the back cover for their pen.

    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

    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).

    Good screen, does not have headphone jack

    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 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.
