I've had mine since it released. I don't know what it is, maybe the OLED screen, but even with a 12.9" M1 iPad Pro, I still reach for this tablet first. I love my iPad Pro too, but, the aspect ratio suits content consumption better. No huge black bars above and above the video I'm watching. Thanks for the review.
If it's for the purpose, then it'd be extremely useful. Laptop heats like crazy when you bring it on the go and had to type something while putting it on your lap
bought refurbished 4GB 128GB model on Amazon for 250. Great price. I wish it has microSD and 3.5 jack but I know that those features are things of the past. I have a Samsung tablet for 2.5x the price. I have many high end laptops with backlit but never used them. I'm a touch typist.
We always see a lot of Windows tablets, but very few ChromeOS tablet. But because of ARM chipset, I can install Andronix on Android smartphones. So despite me liking this tablet a lot, I'm still struggling about the idea of buying one.
I also use Andronix, but you do want to consider ChromeOS, even with ARM chipset, because of hardware GPU acceleration. That is something Andronix can never do until Termux gives such a capability. P.S. If you do care about GNU Linux more than Android, I suggest to stay with x86 as it has wider desktop software support compared to ARM.
Looks like a decent and affordable one... but i think it's just a tad too big to carry around all day. I want a Go-To ultraportable one, maybe 10"-11.5" suits best.
wow,, you mention this tablet has a stylus,, handwriting recognition? . ..... did you mention google is supporting Chromebooks fotr 8.. 10 years,, that's an update very month for ten years tbe built in desktop chrome browser & extensions,, soon to be replaced with an external chrome browser,. with weekly security updates ... etc
the Duet 3, might be faster... since the gen 2 processor .. has fewer pixels .. to write to and its cheaper,, also has 4..8GB versions ,, .. chrome os,, desktop chrome browser with extensions ,,, android 11 ,, LINUX ..... can drive an external screen with usb c hub & HDMI or USB C ... all Chromebooks come with 1 year of 100GB cloud storage
sick of these same video's everyone has to do the same has others i dont care about the speakers the screen res. buttons and so on i would think people know what those are for im looking for some one with common sence to show and say can the keyboard stay attached when not using chromebook ect i guess thats a hard question and difficult to say
What do you mean you don't care for speakers or screen? If the speakers are trashed, how are you going to enjoy watching media content? If the screen is washed out, how are you going to enjoy the vibrancy of images and media productions? Dude, chill. You can just ASK of your concern in a specific forum. As far as using the tablet without the keyboard attached, of course you can use it, however, your performance or graphic related tasks will be reduced drastically as the tablet draws on its main "power" from the keyboard attachement. So, if you just surf the web, there shouldn't be much of an issue... but then the tablet's own internal battery also drains quicker... I suppose. You know, well, don't be lazy. There's also what's called GOOGLE my friend! And I am sick of people who don't want to diligently do their homework when they need to know about something and start blaming others for their points of view ... 😅

Buying this to use for Web browsing and writing books. Other laptops at this price are too bulky and don't have great screens. This is great value!

They need to make another one this one was a great product needs a refresh for 2024
Man, I really appreciate this review. Really needed a simple usage showcase.
Great review just got it like 2 weeks ago loving it so far, the only thing that bothers me are the constant reboots for no reason.
it was a bug or it happens even now?
does this still happen? Thanks
Wifi is always on
It still happens, I've had mines for 7 months. Even after all of the updates, it will reboot randomly if it's in sleep for a while
Read it somewhere when the keyboard is detached it reboots.

I really love mine multitasking is very good, a ton tabs open with the 8gb ram model
Top notch review. I don't know why this didn't make it to India. I use the original one and I can confirm it has gotten much slower over time.
Wondering the same bro, this will be much cheaper than samsung and apple ones
wdym it gets slower over time ? and you said it's not out there in india
did the chromebook duet 5 get slower over time ?
@@tbh_Ayash the original Chromebook gets slower with time is what I meant. Not the 5
Props to this review. I'm really interested in it, but it needs high refresh rate at least 90...c'mon.
This would make a gorgeous ebook reader.

Great video, If I store most of my stuff on a usb flash drive, how would I replace that if I used this Lenovo device for work?
Just get a USB C usb stick they are readily available.
So is it good for 3d slicing ?
This is on sale today. would you buy now or wait for the updated version chromebook plus version which I feel may be around the corner
How good would this be for taking calls on a dialer? Thank you.
Where is the Hdmi port?
What is the SSD size
It does not have Wi-Fi 6.
Can you print from this device
Does this have HDMI output?
Yes, via USB-C.
Can Microsoft apps like Excel be used on this?
Yes
