I own one of these. It is amazing and the battery life lasts forever. Mostly use it for emails through PWA Outlook App. Works great! Bought a pencil to mess around with and I really am enjoying the experience. Highly recommend it if you don't play games. My macbook pro from 2017 is now a paperweight... the battery would die after 30 minutes and to replace it cost $200 for $162 dollars more this was worth it.
I bought this last time as an open box unit and I'm really happy with it. As a tablet it's just so-so. I really hate the way Chrome functions with the keyboard detached, BUT as a slim laptop this thing is awesome. I was initially planning on returning it within the 15 return window, but I've been using it so much I decided to keep it.
Currently typing this message on said device - open box during last deal. Great screen! A little heavy and cumbersome to use as a tablet simply due the sheer size and weight of it. Although I've found setting it up portrait along side where I'm sitting, and using a Bluetooth mouse to navigate makes for very enjoyable general surfing. Not sure why previous poster can't open Lenovo website - opened right up for me.

Agree, MOST Chrome-Based devices are made to fill a market-segment, make a sale (Not be viable, functional unit) I despise Apple's business practices, but can't grasp HOW TF this disposable tat keeps getting made & sold when consumers can find used iPad Pro models in this same price-range.. Even the 1st-Gen 10.5 will run circles around these & remain functional for Years! I used to help deploy trucks FULL of these for the school-system, SAW how many went right back, barely used (many PEBKAC 'Errors' but many ARE junk) end rant/

Disagree, you obviously don't know the difference in capabilities of desktop chrome vs non-desktop. It's capitalist market - more and more are being made because there is a market for it. I have it and it is awesome for my use case. OLED tablet, detachable…. I have no use for high end processor, I do not process videos or photos.

Desktop browsers are great in tablets. I really hate mobile browsers from anywhere.

Netflix is 480p using the app but it's FHD via the browser( no download through the browser). Hulu seems like 720p via the app, Amazon Prime Video seems like FHD via the app.
One thing people need to realize is 1080p OLED panels are not better than quality 1080P LCD screens in every aspect. The screen door effect( looks like pixelation, noticeably less sharp than a 1080p LCD) on this Lenovo and the Samsung Galaxy Pro laptop is hard not to notice on light colored objects,

thx but i am aware of the pros and cons of these displays. i simply wanted to confirm that hevc and hdr can or cannot be played on chromeos these days. that way, even netflix does not work well, i can direct play my own collection in hdr/h265. a quick google search result does not seem promising. yikes.

I use this for marking up PDFs and web browsing. I like that it has a full browser and includes the keyboard. It fits a niche for me that is somewhere between a Surface and the iPad, at a good compromise cost. The screen is exceptional

I have the original duet. I wish this was 10" like before, that was a better travel size imo. And a bump in price should have brought a better process. But otherwise mine has been a pretty solid unit, I actually have four. One for each person in the family lol.

Also, do know this is technically not Netflix certified so you won't get 720p via the app.

If you have a Costco membership the Lenovo flex 5 there seems a better deal, isn't it? I3 processor and for only 299?
Depends on use, the Flex has better performance, but trashy display, trashy battery life, is heavier and non detachable.

If looking for increased portability, tablet use, and better screen, the duet is much better.

If priority is performance, flex is much better

Ooo right on. Maybe I will upgrade mine and see if that's worthwhile for the kids. The 10" duet has been pretty bullet proof for them. They toss, sit, and are not very nice to theirs and it's been indestructible so far. and great battery life, especially for longer flights.

Doesn't looks like much of an upgrade, bigger battery maybe, and newer processor. The processor isn't much better though. Theirs are also still working pretty well too. Although a little laggy when they play a few games, like roblox. But they don't understand quality graphics yet, haha.
