I am pleased with this tablet. I was surprised by this product. It has exceeded my expectations. Lightweight and easy to carry everywhere. My only complaint is the screen but its my own fault. I managed to crack it and there is not a replacement available at this time. Luckily I am still able to use it with limited effect on functionality. I am not sure this is a reflection of product quality as much as it is my handling of it. I recommend a padded case for transport.

This is a well-made, well designed device. Simple to set-up and easy to use. Extremely fast, clear display, and the keyboard is very user friendly, even for big fingers. Highly recommended.

Lenovo did a great job. The flexibility and battery life are amazing. The value for the price is great. The processor seems to be able to keep up well with both Android apps and multiple browser tabs.

Someone stole my 2016 Lenovo Yoga Book earlier this year and I'm so glad I waited for this to come out. Six or eight years of updates is awesome - Lenovo stopped at Android 7.1.1 on the Yoga Book. This machine is fast enough for me, I'm not doing gaming. All Chromebooks now can run Android apps so that was one of the selling points. The whole thing comes as three pieces - the magnetic back with kick stand, the tablet, and the magnetic keyboard. All three together is definitely thicker than my old YB, and heavier. But it was worth it for the overall upgrade.

Thank you for choosing the Lenovo Duet Chromebook. We are pleased to hear that the features and performance of the Duet Chromebook meets your computing needs so well. This sleek and light 2-in-1 Chromebook 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. Get creative. Or get busy.

This is a great way to have a tablet and a Chromebook, all in one device.
The price works, Chromebook is easy, and the included keyboard/trackpad case seals the deal.

Got it on sale for $100 less a few days a go. It was an impulse buy actually. But even at full price, this is a top notch Chromebook at its price point. It is actually a Chrome version of the MS Surface Go at half the price point. Built quality is top notch being made of metal instead of plastic. Battery life is rated at 10-12 hours and support until 2028. The only better option I can think of right now is the upcoming Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 which has far better specs and sells for more. Still I would recommend this Chromebook even at full price. But it doesn't hurt to wait for another sale. ;)

Good Chromebook. Working well as I learn more in and outs. Home page of chrome looks just like the one on my PC Chrome browser. email set up quickly. Only 1 app not working and I play the game a lot: Draw Something. It opens bigger than the screen then freezes up. Zanyga has not answered my support emails. Keyboard is nice , a little small for my hands but I knew that before buying. I could use a second port so I could use sound and charge at the same time. There is an adapter for about $50+ that adds this and HDMI, USB, SD cards. Lenovo has a USI pen/styles that is more responsive than my old pen type. Over all very pleased.

We recommend you check with the specific APPs software publisher's web site of the APPs you are having trouble with, for their compatibility with the Chrome operating system and the minimum/recommended hardware requirements (Is a Graphics card required, the processor speed and the minimum required system RAM and the minimum available hard drive space) to run their program, then compare those requirements to this system's configuration.

Primarily wanted a tablet with full Chrome desktop browser with uBlock Origin. Price is attractive, hardware is nice and battery life lasts a long time but it's slow to render Reddit and also crashes on Facebook web sites probably due to limited 4GB memory. Also experienced minor graphical artifacts when dragging window which appears to be a software issue. Looking forward to trying again when gen 2 releases with hopefully 8GB DRAM and newer SoC.

This device meets all my needs in a tablet, alternative more flexible e-reader, and occasional laptop. And, I do mean "occasional laptop". Interestingly, I've read/watched so many reviews that decried the size of the keyboard or the size of the display, as if the Duet was a laptop first, and tablet second. In my view, that reasoning is precisely backward. Although I am absolutely happy with my purchase, I gave it 4 stars because the performance, while good, is not 5-star worthy. If Google continues to upgrade the ChromeOS tablet experience, I anticipate many years of satisfying usage.

Needs a revision or price drop in 2022

I purchased this in 2020 for $300. At the time it was a little high for the specs but the build quality and additional features made up for this. In 2022 it needs a revision to command this price. An iPad for around the same price will slaughter this in performance, however this still has the keyboard and kickstand advantage. More importantly, there are newer models of basically this same thing from lenovo that are better now.
