LenovoIdeaPad Chromebook Duet | 11 Inch FHD+ 1200p Laptop | MediaTek Kompanio 838 | 8GB RAM | 128GB eMMC | Chrome OS | Luna Grey USI Pen 2 | Folio Stand + Folio Keyboard

I love it! Really light weight. Great battery life. Easy to set up.

So far, very impressed, particularly at the Prime Day discounted price I paid. After reading reviews was expecting my 4GB Ram version to be sluggish, but so far it has been quite snappy, albeit I have not tried to run multiple programmes simultaneously. It is neat how it separates into 3 parts, Screen, Keyboard and Stand and that there is a place for the included magnetic pen to fit. The built in screen is good and the speakers perfectly adequate. The keyboard whilst small has pleasant feel. You can also use it with a screen up to QHD, but if 4k output is selected you are left with a blank screen.This is my first experience with the Chrome operating system, but it seems easy to pick up and it is good that you have both the ability to use websites as if using windows and apps as if using Android.I'm not sure if I would want to use as my sole computer, but as a second, or third computer to use instead of a phone for browsing the internet, or for taking on holiday, when space is limited this is probably ideal.

I come from a world where I already have far too many devices already.A 15" i3 chromebook.Android 11" Xiamoi tabletM1 Mac Mini with huge screenWindows i7 laptop 15"Android phone and iphone.But I really wanted a small Chromebook. (Here in the UK they just dont exist!)So what do I think of this?Well...I can see this being either the most used or the least used device I have.For office work, my mac mini connected to a huge monitor wins hands down (but of course it is not portable)For work work I "have to" use a Windows laptop and iphone. I dont like Windows and the battery life is awful.Of course iphones and Android phones do what they do.For watching youtube videos and sports etc whilst on the train, the 11" Android tablet is the best device.For working on the move the Chromebook i3 is my favourite device.So where does this fit?Well it does all of them, just not quite as well.I have the Kompanio 838 with 8Gb Duet 3.Its easy to get lost in the specs, but in reality any 8gb Chromebook with a half decent processor will seem fast.The good:Its very light and portable. It will be awesome for travelling.The screen is clear and goes very brightThe battery is decent (better than all of the other devices on the list)The tablet mode is kinda cool in landscape, having a mobile device that runs chrome OS I really like.Being able to run Android Apps that replicates my tabletIts easy to setup and boots in seconds.Its very good value for money.The attached pen is cool and stays in place.The bad:The keyboard is small and spongyThe keyboard attachment feels very flimsy and could fall off at any time.You cant use it in bed as a chromebook.when i remove the keyboard I dont know what to do with it.The biggest one though is Its small (I know that should not be a surprise)I get lost between using the touch screen and track pad. Its like my brain cant process whether this is a tablet or chromebook.I need to give this a good review because it is good, its just I dont know how much I will use it compared to my other devices.Weirdly I think you could train yourself to use this. ChromeOS is good for being able to duplicate displays, sliding around tabs and using shortcuts for working on a small screen.I may come back here in 6 months time saying this is the best device of all. But I could also return having left it in a drawer and not touched.

Why did you choose this product over others?:Great device at a great price if you compare to any device out there in the market, give it a chance and you will be impressed.

After the novelty wore off I am quite frustrated with this. Effectively you need to be connected to wifi to use it properly, and most of the apps (M365, Kindle etc) do not work well, are very buggy and regularly crash. I bought to use this for entertainment while commuting and to write/ plan work, but if you are not connected to a stable internet connection there is simply no point. Overall it looks great and seems good at first but after using it for a month I have found it very disappointing. Battery life, screen quality and ease of use are fine, but unless you can guarantee being connected to stable wifi 24/7 I would go with another option.

Review after 2 weeks of use.Ideal for my needs, compact and lightweight, easy to take with you. At the same time it's almost as powerful as a standard laptop, with tons of apps, built-in Linux that you can turn into a legit dev environment, especially when plugged into some docking station with extra monitors and legit keyboard. ChromeOS starts in seconds and is very stable. There's some random glitches here and there in some apps but it's still 10x better than Windows.It works in 2 modes, the tablet and laptop modes, the stylus pen is OK, but I still prefer the touchpad or just fingers for most of stuff, for drawing stylus does the job very well.In the laptop mode with the keyboard attached you need to be aware it is only losely attached and there's only one screen position to work with, that is with the folio stand, it's not adjustable as in a normal laptop. It's still OK to use it on your laps though.I bought the used - like new deal, zero signs of use, I highly recommend.

Plenty of power and a good size

A good all-round laptop especially with Android apps.Some apps are sluggish due to the 3gb of ram (NOT 4GB!!!!) but OK for occasional use.Very well thought out but Swiftkey doesn't work.
