Lenovo Duet Chromebook Review: Amazing Chrome OS Tablet

[@guenantonio6592]

SO straightforward, and you're inclusive and consider that people have different needs (and even include suggestions!). Very refreshing.

This is the most comprehensive review i have seen so far. Every question i have in mind has been answered. Okay almost a year after the release, i'm buying one as a secondary computer.

[@jebaker2]

I picked up the 128gb version for $249 on sale at Best Buy. For the light use most would use a Chromebook for, this device works amazingly well! It's a great value!

[@maricorangelandal3085]

can you use it for adobe photoshop and filmora??

[@tracywhitt344]

Could you tell me about to the sound and speakers? Do they sound good and are they very loud?

[@robertoescobar5942]

I think that the fact that you're directly comparing them, and offering alternatives from higher weight class, is an statement of how good this tablet is. Of course it's not perfect, but I think it covers the basics and it does it good.

[@anotherjuan]

This is priced very competitively! Currently looking into getting a tablet mainly for multimedia consumption like watching movies, reading books, some sketching or typing maybe. This and the Galaxy Tab A 8.0 w/ S Pen are very good options. Thanks for your review.

[@klee88029]

Monday October 19th 2020: Walmart has the Lenovo Chromebook Duet for $249 this week.

[@brachiator1]

Very good and comprehensive review. I appreciated the honest comparisons to other tablets.

[@snowymuffin]

You are my go-to tech/tablet-reviewer! I bought Sam Galaxy Tab A 8.0 with S Pen because of you and I had no regrets with it, in fact, I thank you so much! I love Chrome OS, I've been following it for years but I still haven't experience using Chrome OS. Because of watching this, I got interested in buying this Lenovo Chromebook since it is very affordable. Thank you for giving us great content with honesty! 😄😄

[@akshatkumar3461]

the 2-in-one design and the option of using it as a laptop or a tablet is really cool

[@aerospace88]

Great review, complete and with many examples of normal usage! Thanks! 👍

[@angelandres1130]

I think I'm sold, 8 years of updates damn

[@obidean3964]

This is such an amazing deal. Full class desktop browser, 8 years support and included keyboard ! I wish it's available in my country tho, hmm :(

[@klee88029]

What country are you in? Maybe you can have someone in the USA order it and ship it to you? I would be happy to help you out with this. Walmart has them priced at $249, taxes will be a bit less than 9%, about $22. Walmart Protection plan is $48 for 2 years, $59 for 3 years, plus the 9% sales taxes. Covers accidents, drops, spills, cracks, battery, screen and hard drive failures. No deductibles or hidden fees. There is also an option for 1 year Expert Remote online Support provided by HelloTech, for $49 plus Tax, which you can use on an unlimited amount of devices. Plus the cost of the shipping to your country. Do some research on all of these things, decide, and get back to me here. I am an older woman, retired Nurse, and promise I won't scam you. You will be able to either send me the funds via PayPal or into my bank checking, I will get it and ship it to you unopened. Karen Lee

In landscape mode, does the screen in the middle of right half creeks when pressed? Mine is doing that and I could feel it getting pressed. Is it the same for your unit as well? Thanks in advance for responding. It feels like a void between the screen and metal back at that location.

[@jaintanuj]

Good for daily driver for fewer of web apps, lite use of ms excel and email ?

[@carmennooner2027]

I've been trying so hard to resist buying this, primarily because of its size. I honestly would love it if Lenovo would have given us a size option like the iPad Pro has. Yes, I know it would be more expensive. But this 10" is so competitively priced, I believe a 12.5" with keyboard for twice the price would sell well, and compete nicely with the Pro. Hopefully Lenovo is sticking their toe in the water to test the market?

[@FigWidIt]

I have the 128gb model and LOVE IT. I haven't touched my old Macbook Air since I've gotten this Lenovo Duet. Battery is amazing but takes a while to charge back up to full but that's okay. My room's outlet is on the left side so it's annoying that i have to charge only on the right side of the Tablet so I think 2 usb C ports would have been much better,but other than that this Duet is really good "bang-for-buck"

[@maricorangelandal3085]

can you edit on adobe photoshop and filmora using this???

[@fernielearns4421]

The reason it charges so slow is due to the adapter being a low watt one. Switch it out and you'll see the difference in charge time

Software support is key, it's a huge deal and they did a great job supporting this for 8 years! It would be great to see this in all chromebooks

[@mw7967]

Every chromebook purchased from 2018 to present is guaranteed at least 8.5 years of support. Prior to this, the support was still excellent at 6.5 years minimum guaranteed.

[@wb4398]

Great review, I have one pre-ordered from Best Buy. Do you know if a Samsung S Pen will work as a stylus? I'm able to use the S Pen from the Tab S4 on the Dell Inspiron Chromebook 2-in-1. I've tried googling information on the USI standard vs Wacom, but can't find too much. I use the large S Pen all the time, and it would be nice if I could use it across all my devices, Note 10+, Dell Chromebook and Lenovo Duet. Thanks again for the informative video.

[@wb4398]

I wanted to add a comment as to why I'm going with the Lenovo Duet. Now that I'm familiar with the Chrome OS environment, I absolutely love the interface. I tried the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, but not having Dex was a deal breaker. I don't want a tablet whose interface is merely like a large phone. For productivity and sheer organization, Dex and Chrome OS are in my opinion, the BEST. And Chrome OS being such a small, fast footprint, it comes out on top for what I'm going to be using it for. I think they should start launching phones with Chrome OS.

[@ipaddy]

From what he said in the video and another comment it appears there is only the HP pen for this tablet

[@KisameSempai]

Does it have a dedicated youtube app (not in the chrome browser)?

[@blacklight6845]

Can you test the tab s7 when it releases in August 5th? Many people and I would be getting it. Thanks

[@EricAdamsYT]

This seems like a great option for me because I don't like my iPad or Galaxy Tab. I hadn't considered a Chrome OS tablet but it seems to meet all my needs much better than an Android tablet which has been a generally poor experience. Lenovo sells a version of this with their USI stylus however it has some pretty terrible reviews so I'll be trying a different one. This video covers that at the 8:00 mark. Thanks for the review. I hadn't been aware of your channel until now and have subscribed.

[@srijayaharis3088]

I can't understand why they all youtubers recommend are Samsung S6 lite, it have cheap 9611 processor. Also it's run android 10 may be 11 & 12. After that no updates. If u want to buy Samsung better you will buy S7 fe wifi. Come to rhe point duet vs S6 lite another 8yrs update.... The mediatek processor is much better for daily activities. So it's best. Original Keyboard cover of samsung too much cost S7 fe 15k .... Some times it will in offer. Duet have complete laptop set up also perform well in all manners. Price to cost ratio S6 lite ₹32000/ with 64gb duet ₹27000 with 128gb. So Duet is fantastic tablet in mid range.

[@tahirmunshi3853]
