Great alternative to Go 3, but not as fancy

Microsoft’s Surface Go 3 is only $20 more, but doesn’t come with a keyboard; a third party magnetically attaching (but Bluetooth connecting) keyboard/screen cover will cost you another $35 or so.
Both have rear kickstands which is HUGE for laptop use. Both have excellent IPS screens for Netflix. You have to keep an eye on the Go with only 64gb of storage and this Duet 3i has 128gb (for example, I manually clean up larger update files) while you can be a little sloppy with the Duet 3i). The processor in the Go 3 is almost as fast as the prior generation m3. The processor in the Duet 3i is on par with the processor in the earlier Go 1 and Go 2 base models. 4gb of RAM is enough on all of those and these. I noticed no improvements on my 4gb vs 8gb low end laptops. A similarly equipped Chomebook is zippier but has other limitations.
I recommend this now discontinued Duet 3i for pure bang for the book. The slightly wider keyboard helps. The buy-in cost is less of a sticker shock than the Go 3 with official keyboard. Either will serve in classroom for notes and research, plus very good Netflix. Most budget laptops have lousy video.
Note: I’ve tried iPads with keyboards, but iPad keyboards with built in trackpads are still rare and the lack of a trackpad is too limiting.
Finally, Windows 11 assures next gen security hardware.

I found it quite good and useful for my need. Speed is ok. However, touch screen stops working occasionally and it becomes difficult to reactivate, especially when attached keyboard is separated.
Secondly micro-SD card is not recognized by it. Thus, memory can't be extended as claimed. I don't know if it is the problem with my unit or it is generic problem.

Hello, user108708, we are sorry to hear that you have experienced an issue with your IdeaPad Duet 3i. In advance, this is a lengthy response, however we want to give you and other readers of this response as much information as possible to help ensure your issue is resolved should you encounter something similar in the future.

I so wanted to like this unit, however, it is painfully slow! It does have an excellent screen that is bright and beautiful. But no bueno for me.

This Lenovo IdeaPad Windows Duet 3i Laptop is an entry-level, light workload configuration. We always recommend you check the requirements and compatibility of any software you will be installing on your new computer, before you invest in any computer. Be sure your new computer can support the software you will need to use and your workload.
