I'd argue that this has a significant advantage over any Android tablet: most Android tablets are notoriously abandonware (the update schedule is limited to nonexistent).

In contrast, this Chromebook will continue to receive updates which includes the underlying Android support system. Future ChromeOS updates would likely include Android version updates.

As such, though Android tablets could be had for cheaper, and the impact of an "old" Anrdoid OS often gets overstated (consider that Android 6.0 is still functional for plenty of users), I'd daresay this form factor and price point could make for an awesome Android tablet replacement.

Good luck!

Can this run MS Excel, word and PowerPoint? Want a device that help learning these apps.

I am considering MS Surface Go 2 and waiting for a deal to come in.
Depends upon your level of usage. Consider that as a Chromebook this device could run those apps as Android standalones or as web applications, and both of those can be severely limiting for some users or plenty for others.

Good luck!

Same here. Bought a refurb and it looked new when I got it. Will use for my child's school.

it's a pretty good tablet. I have the exact same device. I use it for a lot of stuff like Office 365, Citrix, streaming movies ( HBO Max, Disney+, Netflix etc ). It can even connect to a monitor and extra peripherals if you have an adapter.

Maybe it's just me, but it works faster when it's connected to the keyboard rather than using it as a tablet. Bought mine at full price at $350 when it first came out, so this is a good deal. Just don't expect a superb sound but it's not that bad either on its own speakers. You can just connect it to a bluetooth speaker for better audio output.

Quote from taller238 :
I think "Duet" means Dual modes (Tablet + Laptop) under Android?

Actually I'm hunting a Dual OS (Android + Windows) Tablet (with keyboard), because an Android laptop really can do nothing seriously.

Any suggestions?
This was a holy grail for some time (and there are definitely some Chinese devices out there which achieve this easily... and should be avoided). However, today about the only official thing out there with Windows is the Your Phone app to provide some of the minimal functionality you're seeking. There are other solutions, but they're all hard to recommend. Otherwise these best of both worlds (Android apps plus some kind of "real computer") remains limited to Chromebooks since they can offer a solid browser experience plus whatever you want to run via Android.

You may want to look forward to Windows 11 integration with the Amazon App store. However, that isn't a fix-all either. Most notably, the Amazon App store is not either a full representation of the Google Play ecosystem (apps are missing) nor is it necessarily in sync (apps are older versions). This worked in my favor once when a game developer really borked a game with some UI updates (meaning the game that became unplayable on my Android devices was was still fun on my Fire tablets). But it can also be limiting.

Were I you I'd peek over at the Amazon App store and consider whether that will deliver what you're seeking.

Good luck!

It works OK. If you are going to use it for mostly Android apps, I would just get an Android tablet.
compatibility is sometimes limited.



Anyone find a good case for this?

I wish they'd upgrade the CPU. I know it's already a steal at 249 but yeah, it's just underpowered. Curse of non flagship android devices.

Even if they had to raise the price to 349.

It's a great device and seems very popular, do it lenovo.

I think this device with some actual punch at even 399 would have a lot bigger market. It would still be killing iPad, Surface etc in value at that MSRP.

I will say for myself, one problem with dual devices is the small 10" screens when used as a laptop. I have a Tab S7 11" tab & it's a little bigger and still too small IMO when I'm using it as a laptop. I wish I had the 12" S7+.

Now I'm asking for the moon but this plus say SD750 chip+12" screen +6GB RAM for 399 would be amazing.

How is it i am planning to use an android tablet? Like android apps, UI etc are similar to android in tablet mode? Thanks
I'd second others. If you're mainly using it as a tablet, get an android. I got this but took it back after a bit to get a tab s6. Very happy with my decision

You got tab S6 or Tab S6 Lite read the s6 lite is a bit underpowered.

On Lenovo.com (link to device [lenovo.com]) it's $269.99, but it seems to come with the "Lenovo USI stylus" pen, which I can't find anything about on Best Buy. Also, EXTRAFIVE takes 5% off the purchase, and if you are military/vet/student/teacher, you can get another 5% off. Total comes to $243.67 before tax.

Still mulling this one over, but it seems like it would be great to remote desktop to my PC, and the pen + 30 day returns (vs Best Buy's 15) are a nice added bonus.

Thumbs up for this deal, though! The device looks solid if it matches your intended use-case.

I usually connect Bluetooth earbuds, but I just tried it out without anything attached. It's a little higher than the loudest setting on a galaxy phone

A tab s6. Price is much different than this which is understandable. But it's a true tablet experience which I found out is what I was looking for
