The magnet of the stand is repelling against the back of the chrome book. I brought it to Best Buy and they can’t replace it because they don’t have stock

Excellent, excellent.
Have tried many Chromebooks - with many configurations and higher price ranges. After a number of purchases and returns, I finally decided to give this Lenovo Chromebook a try.
Chromebooks are fast, and also can run most Android apps - including office, entertainment, and even many games.
I found this to be quite fast, updates well, downloads apps well, and even tethering with my phone as a hot spot worked great. It actually has a reasonable color temperature - most I have tried are way too far into the red / green coloration. The screen is sharp with excellent resolution - especially for a 10.1 inch screen.
This has 128Gb storage, which is quite sufficient for lots of apps. The magnetically coupled keyboard has a good feel and keys have nice travel, however typing does take some getting used to as the keyboard is slightly cramped.
However, there are a few drawbacks for this computer. Although the size makes this extremely portable, the screen size may not be for everybody.
It certainly needs the 128gb storage, as there is no slot for a micro sd card. But the biggest issue amy be that there is only 1 slot - usb C port. Used for charging, and makes it necessary to have dongles, adapters, etc. And you cannot charge the computer while using anything else in this port. The magnetically coupled keyboard and back kick stand does make for a slightly "floppy" set-up, making using on a solid surface necessary.
Still, bottom line is this is an excellent performer for students, folks one the go, and at a good price point.

This is basically your phone but less comfortable and less convenient. Wish I went for something better but hopefully it will serve somewhat of a purpose.
I do not like the folding rest, this thing does not sit well in your lap and fiddling around with the stiff material and getting the perfect angle is simply not convenient and does not look professional.
Good for playing apps, not really much else.

This site has products that personally are not as they are on the website. My purchase was terrible and no one in the store knew about the product and because the tablet did not have a keyboard and the charger was not compatible with it. For me, I will never recommend this store, because the policy of this company seems to be to deceive people.

Bought this about 4 hours ago, the kick stand to hold the screen up fell out from under it and the entire screen shattered, on top of that the computer seems to have a mind of its own; scrolling on its own, zooming in/out at random, opening random tabs etc all while not touching the computer at all

The Lenovo Chromebook Duet is a light 2-in-1 Chromebook, that switches from business to fun as easily as it switches from laptop to tablet mode. Simply detach the plug-and-play keyboard, and you have an ultraportable 10.1 inch tablet ready to entertain you. In laptop mode, the typical size of laptop keyboard is comfortable and responsive, while the 400 nits FHD display is visually appealing in either mode. Enjoy thousands of apps from Google Play Store, superfast boot-up, more than 8 years of automatic updates, and USI stylus support (active pen sold separately). Get creative. Or get busy.
