20 September 2020
Lenovo's new 2 in 1 is a versatile package at a great price, but good luck finding one.

    Sabbir, 15 Aug 2021Is there gonna be an updated model this year? Happy to pay ... moreLenovo Chromebook Duet 5 is supposed to be released within a month according to most rumors. On the plus side, it should be available with 8 GB RAM and OLED screen but according to rumours the flash maxes out at 64 GB eMMC and the display resolution is only 1920x1080 instead of 1920x1200 like in the original Duet.

    Hopefully the real specs were 1920x1200 OLED, 8 GB RAM and 128 GB UFS flash but it remains to be seen. The price is rumoured to be 100-200 more, too.

                I am running Linux emulator and use it for Jupyter Notebook runs very well. Love it a lot.

                    I really like the features that has been integrated with the Lenovo duet Chromebook in terms of the mediatek chipset and the strong RAM and battery.

                            James B, 23 Sep 2020as a owner of this device i would say you get what you pay ... moreYou do indeed get what you pay for--a nice, solid device that is fast enough as long as you do not think you are getting a little xBox or a Mac tower. Duh. I love this little computer/tablet and have found very few Android apps that I cannot load on this vs. a Galaxy Tab (Zoom, for one). The keyboard has a decent amount of travel and the screen is hella good. Charges quickly with a better charger box/cable. I would completely recommend the 128GB version if you can get it.

                              you definatley need a usbc to hdmi / usb adapter for output
                              preformance is useable and so is the sceeen
                              keyboard sucks
                              display is kinda avrage and video quality playback struggles for anything over 1080p
                              its good for a "surface pro" on a budget for when you travel and need a pc like experiance
                              would i buy again? yes if their was another heavy discount
                              connected to a external usb mouse and keyboard it preforms well

                                      It's Chinese. Who would want it now. I do want a good quality Chrome OS tablet but none are yet on the market. Looking at the new chips and the rumours there could be a few good ones to choose from in a few months.
