Found out about myself.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's ok. Not a Chromebook kind of guy. I tried and discovered I wasn't
I would recommend this to a friendOS broke down in less than a year
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought in January, broke in October. The screen kept displaying an update that did not exist. Followed every single Google instruction to no avail. Since it’s still under the manufacturer’s one-year warranty, we sent it to Lenovo. It’s already November and we still haven’t received it back as there is a “delay” on parts. Told us the part is estimated to arrive December 19, 2023. I regret this purchase.

Bottom line
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's alright but very slow if you have more than 8 tabs open and the sound quality is extremely subpar aswell as just the processing speed is just not there

Wanted to love this
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great idea, well made but see weak apps did not work and froze up.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendCognitive dissonance
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It comes with no directions/user info. You MUST get appt. with Geek Squad to learn basic manuevers and command locations; it is overly complicated and has an extremely sensitive keyboard and the touchpad will be a real challenge if you are used to typing on a desk top. The only saving grace is that it is hooked up to Chrome. Otherwise, save your money.

- Pros mentioned:Screen quality
Just what I wanted
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Exactly what I wanted and what I expected. The huge screen is awesome
I would recommend this to a friend The OLED screen is excellent
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its main strength is the low priced true OLED screen. The main weakness for me is the tendency to tilt and "flop forward" into the keyboard. A one piece "stiff back support" for the keyboard attachment (like Apple uses) would solve this problem.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendKeep Looking Before Settling for This
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not anything special, pretty limited in what it can do and feels slow a lot of the time. Return window was only 2 weeks so stuck with it, but would probably recommend something different.

I would recommend this to a friend Be Careful with Open Box Duet
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just received the Duet in the mail today. The tablet is bent and the housing is separating from the display. This Duet was clearly dropped and returned. I'm surprised that it was not properly inspected before it was offered for resale. It was list as "Excellent" and is far from it.

OLED Burn in
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So this is actually a really cool Chromebook. I do love the tablet 1st aspect. It also can handle anything you throw at it as a Chromebook. The main issue im having is the OLED screen burn-in. I have exchanged this Chromebook twice and both of them have had the issue. If the screen is above 50 percent brightness its not noticable, though under that there are permanent lines horizontal across the screen. That is a huge deal for me. So after 2 of them, ive given up.. but other than that.. its a great Chromebook.

Eh…. Depends what you need it for
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This 2 in 1 tablet is nice if you just want something for fun, but trying to use this tablet for work is a nightmare and definitely makes job more difficult. I bought device “brand new” according to Best Buy ( paid the bill extra $100) and when I opened it there was already a user account set up and EVERYTHING was in Mandarin. The touch screen is very finicky and only works half the time

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought an open box version and the battery did not work. This was frustrating as it was supposed to be "geek squad" tested and certified.
