This is my second chrome book that I have purchased from Best Buy. I gave the first one to my grandson for distance learning. I love the size and performance of this one!

I purchased this as a tablet for myself to take notes in class and I can say I'm very happy with how it has been working. As I have zoom up on my main laptop, I can use google keep to screenshot pages from online sources and draw notes on top of it in order for more complex and meaningful notes, as well as have a fully functioning Chromebook with it. The screen is beautiful and I love it and the keyboard is firm and responsive and surprisingly not cramped. I cannot recommend the Duet enough and I think any college student who enjoys digital notes, whether you're in person or at home, should look at this device (it even has great pen support)!

As a Surface Pro and iPhone user as my daily drivers, I really wanted to get something in between to fire off some emails and still get access to the apps and services I use for work and personal.
This is my first Chromebook and was between the Samsung S6 Android Tablet and iPad. When I saw this device at CES I was really impressed, but wanted to wait for some of the early reviews. Chrome OS intrigued me, but was not ready to buy a new system or download an open source distro to try. So patiently waited for the Duet to become available.
So far the reviews are all pretty spot on after using this for the past several days. The value here is incredible for what you get out of the box.
From a product positioning standpoint, they nailed it. In my opinion Chrome OS needed this device more than the device needing it. This easily could have passed as a decent entry level Android device. But with Chrome OS tablet features and access to the Play Store, the experience is definitely elevated and hope to see more action in this segment as we start heading towards this hybrid OS space that Windows has and what iOS appears to be heading towards as well.
Any minor gripes are truly minor. Keyboard is a little crampy but after a few days got adjusted to it pretty easily.
- Screen is great
- Snappy performance
- Camera and Speakers are about the only "low end" aspects to the device I have seen.
- Play Store apps work great
This device is going to be very very popular. Nice job Lenovo for really capitalizing on not creating another Android tablet or PC competitor.
Now its just up to the Chromebook OS team to explore more opportunities for tablet mode features.

I got this as an upgrade to an old tablet that would add some functionality to do more typing tasks. It has a long battery life and is great for some work activities if it's within the Google Chrome/Android world. If you need to use office you can use the web version, but it's not fully functional that way. If you're buying it for what it is, it's a nice product.

This has become my go to device for light tasks. I have a device on every major OS (Windows, Mac, Linux and now Chrome) this has become the perfect side device at my desk. YouTube videos, excel, web browsing and it runs Android so you have access to the play store.
I would recommend this to anyone over a tablet unless you are willing to spend a bunch of money on a high end iPad and accessories. If most of what you do can be done in a browser or through a mobile app, this will work great.

After about a month, I have to say this device lived up to all of the hype. Thanks to advancements in ChromeOS, it offers:
- Chrome apps
- Progressive Web apps
- Android apps
- Linux apps
There's a fantastic array of options as a result of this, fitting different needs.
It also seamlessly switches between tablet and laptop mode when connecting the keyboard. It's not a huge difference between the two modes, but the differences are smart and work well.
Overall, a great device and an awesome value. Highly recommend.

I really like this little Chromebook, especially the attached keyboard that can be removed to operate it as a tablet. I mostly use it for reading the news in the morning but I also like it for travelling and plan to use it for watching movies and TV shows on the plane when travelling. It even came with a dongle to use for earbuds.
No complaints about this and I'd recommend it if you just need a basic Chromebook without expensive extra options.

This is my second Chromebook. I have one Windows 10 OS and three that run Linux Mint OS. I bought this for my wife who normally used a Samsung tablet. She thinks that this is very easy to use, and has almost stopped using the tablet. She prefers to use the Duet with the attached keyboard and a mouse. There is one USB-C socket. It would be better with two. This is the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. It was necessary to buy a USB-C hub and a converter from C to the older USB for the mouse. My wife seems happy with it.

I was in need of an update to my old Acer laptop, but I typically only use it for basic file management and nothing really heavy. I never used ChromeOS, so I had to do a ton of research, but it fit right into my basic needs. This tablet is absolutely great for checking my email, browsing the web, and watching videos. One of the core reasons I got it, also, was to play Google Stadia on it, which worked PHENOMENALLY and truly enhanced the experience. And the price was incredible as well. If you're looking for something to get your basics taken cared of, as well as gaming via Google Stadia, I highly recommend this tablet.

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.

Okay, if you need to know how good Lenovo Chromebook Duet
It’s awesome! Love it, works for what I need which is checking my company emails away from my desk or office, reading online news. Light photo editing, managing UPS Shipping, taking notes while in a meeting. Editing details of my marketing design catalogs and brochures. Always connected at work an around the building or on to my car’s hotspot, with the occasional video series catch-up. Great battery life! come home, and I still have 60% to 70% battery after a 9-to-10-hour work.

Impressed! I've been using a Samsung tablet for years and it finally slowed down so much that I needed an upgrade. I'm happy I didn't end up replacing my old tablet with another Samsung. The Chromebook experience (first time for me) is simple and smooth. I'm impressed with the speed of this unit. I ended up buying a Lenovo USI pen but I didn't get it yet- looking forward to it. Screen is excellent. I have big hands, but within a few weeks, I can type with speed. Keyboard layout is a little challenging and the keyboard shortcuts take some time to learn but it's okay. I definitely recommend this!
