Recently took back this from the closet. Interface was extremely laggy and still is.
However it seems to be compatible with Gemini (not tested) and games are surprisingly smooth. I have absolutely no idea why the interface is so horrible, I remember trying to powerwash it without success. But pretty decent if you will not switch app often

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 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.

as a owner of this device i would say you get what you pay for
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.
