Think this also comes with the Lenovo Pen, USI 2.0 pen too. Good deal, device for kids K-12, secondary device for web work.

For use in an office, note the chipset is limited to (1) external monitor at a time from either of the Usb-C ports at a max of 2560 x 1440 at around 60Hz.

Most likely you could then do one 4k monitor but only at 30 hz. But not two 2k ones.

That is a great deal for a convertible laptop/ tablet ! I love Chromebooks as I can do a lot of browsing on it and use my Android apps as well as using for phone texting instead of using phone.

AUE date of June 2034.

The extended software support timelines for Chrome OS along with their support for Android applications has fundamentally disrupted the Android tablet space. I'd suggest that a Chrome OS tablet like this Duet is a superior value proposition for any potential buyer of an Android tablet.

Good luck!

Great callout. I hopped on that deal as a backup device for traveling.

Is this considered a Chromebook plus for the added AI perks? I see that near the bottom of the page but I don't think this qualifies?

No, it is not. The only ARM processor confirmed to be Chromebook Plus compatible on the market is the flagship Mediatek Kompanio Ultra U910 , found on the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 and the Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 514. Also, I think the webcam doesn't have the other requirements, too.

x86 models is much inferior than ARM-based Chromebook. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Its $239.99 if you sign up for Lenovo pro which is free and your employer isn't in the perks at work program for Lenovo. On top of that, you can upgrade to the 1 year next day on-site warranty from the standard 1 year mail-in warranty for only $0.01 with Lenovo Pro!
