The day is finally here! Nearly 5 months to the day since we first laid eyes on the Lenovo Chromebook Duet, the company has delivered one to our office and we're taking off the wraps to reacquaint ourselves with the 10-inch Chrome OS tablet. It's no secret we and countless others have been looking forward to this device for months, so we're very excited to begin the review process.

Samsung: *Includes S Pen
Lenovo: *Includes Keyboard
Apple and Microsoft: "Nah, you have money you can buy them separately"
Apple products are such a ripoff.
Alle Esor still better than any android or
chrome os tablet.
price is too high but good quality
@@parkerwilliams617 I see where you're coming from, I have an iphone but only for the novelty of features like imessage (for my friends), airdrop, and it has a great camera. BUT, I use a $200 chromebook from costco that does its function and I can type notes quickly, do digital notetaking, for the fraction of the cost of apple. (I could have 5 chromebooks for the price of a macbook!) And, apple doesn't even offer a touchscreen laptop! I'm just saying, for those of us who aren't privileged enough to spend freaking $1000 on an ipad, android products work great. I can attest with my top 1% class ranking.
Don't forget Microsoft, they should be lumped in with Apple
This Chromebook Duet is easiest of all Chromebooks to use in the toilet.
Why are you in the toilet?
Yes, it is very portable.
@@PurpleKnightmare Love the spin cycle.
How do you balance it on your legs? Even with the stand. Do you have to hold all 450g in hand?
I imagine any small laptop would be a lot more easy to place.
@@glaframb Never thought of such a thing as "use the stand to hold on your middle finger".
Forget hanging toilet paper, how do you hold your tablet is the new big question!
I use my Lenovo T580 charger over the supplied charger. More than doubles charge speed, not that you even need to charge it that often. Love having ChromeOS tablet instead of only Android, best of both worlds. So easy to carry this with me on the go for urgent work cases that come up while being on-call instead of lugging a laptop around in a backpack. Fits easily into back pocket of car seat.
I'd never use fast charging on a non removable battery. I want it to last as long as possible. Up to you though.
Nice unboxing, thanks for sharing your thoughts! 😃👍🏻👊🏻 .....Hope to be unboxing my own within the next week or two!
The painting in the background isn't level....
Lol
Just got a Pixelbook Go so I'm good for now but if I did not have that I'd definitely consider this. Not a heavy Chrome user so this would be perfect.
Whats better
Chrome os or Windows 10 s mode?
Please use it with Google classroom with an USI stylus. Thanks.
Mine at BestBuy still says “Getting it ready”
This video mocks me
same here
It switched to Arriving Today, but if I use the tracking number on the UPS website, they haven’t even picked the package up yet to ship out 🤦🏻♂️
It's not even out in the UK :(
At least you got one.
@@GuloGulo420 you've got one, there's a difference.
While i was watching your Video, the delivery driver brought my one 😅
I feel like most people will never take the back off
Yeah, so they might as well have made the stand built-in,even if it made the device itself a little thicker.
Most people won't get a chromebook
True, why not go full Surface Go and make it built-in. Almost half the price with kb though.
The kickstand is a major advantage of the Surface Pro. I'd leave it on.
@@liamness less thick than having to put it on though.
Stylus? Will you test the Lenovo optional stylus?
What do you think would it work like spen?
Probably not as complete like the spen, probably simpler, but still, having the option of pen input is great, shame Samsung is ditching it on their Galaxy tab A line
@@danielpimenta140 no no it has spen
Yes stylus testing please
i have the chromebook and the lenov usi pen. they both work very well and it is such a budget. im not spending 2000$ for apple crap.
I’m going to start a drinking game based on the number of times you say “ultimately” in your videos. 😉
Don't do it. Alcohol poisoning is serious.
Cambaudio I see what you did there!
Michael G haha!
you can do this with so many different youtubers and their comfort words LOL. One I watch on Destiny video games is REALLY bad. He says ":something like" like 45 times per video. "You can put something like a, something like, something like"
Also, every time he says "but you have to consider its price".
That Lenovo baby gives me iPad Pro vibes.
Surface Pro was the inspiration.
Alex McCaffrey more surface go
@@stacia6678 Surface Pro inspired Surface Go. Surface Pro inspired iPad Pro (with Magic Keyboard).
@@stacia6678 I agree, it's modeled from the go. What came before the go is irrelevant.
@@bradavon Surface Pro didn't inspire the iPad Pro. Both have entirely different designs for the tablet and the keyboard
Android tablets have suddenly become even more obsolete.
They're the same thing
@@theinktician I suppose iPads and MacBooks are the same thing too? Both run IPadOS apps after all.
Nah Samsung is pushing them hard now, they didn't really try before but their latest updates are really good
@@XX-qj9sj they agreed. Only a niche following now though. And Samsung can't fix the fundamental issues with Android on tablets. Apps aren't good enough and Android will never be a better tablet OS because Google have given up on the project :(
I really enjoy watching these unboxings. I agree with you, I like nice packaging! It makes you feel like you bought something that was worth doing nice packaging on. TY!
Cant wait to see the review video. I'm really interested to see how Google Stadia runs on it
Same! I really hope it gets mentioned in the review
Just no...
Now Lenovo should release a plus version of this with a bigger screen and a better processor within 499$ ?
Yes. for actual Linux development and practical use.
If this is a runaway success, who knows, maybe they will? The market hasn't really been proven yet.
Bigger screen may defeat the point but point taken.
@@liamness good point.
If you want that, just get a pixel slate.
My mom bought me one this morning as an early (very early) Christmas present to help me get through school. Now that everything is online-based through Google Classroom and other affiliated Google programs, I definitely needed something better than my cellphone to get me through my senior year. I loved the detachable keyboard because it gave me more options for digital art and still allowed me to type my essays and do my classwork. I highly recommend this product, even if it does have little flaws. The price is incredible and makes for the perfect 2 in 1 laptop and tablet.
S6 lite or Chromebook duet? I really like the pen support and note taking on S6 lite
Having many tablets and chromebooks,i would suggest the S6 lite.
Rushikesh Patil I heard Lenovo have tablet pencils and this chrome book supports it.
I'd go Tab S6 Lite, personally. More research is still needed here.
Too early to tell, more research required.
If your main use for a tablet is gonna be note taking, I would go with a base iPad and Apple Pencil, which can be cheaper than the S6 Lite
I like the product but I believe it could do with a bit more than 1 USB-C port. Maybe an SD card slot or 2 USB-C ports?
Iulian Cristian Moise Ya but the iPad pro also only has one USB c port and it costs like 5 times more
@@zachary456 yeah but that doesn't necessary mean its ok :)
who can afford an ipad can also afford some additional cloud space and its not the case wit this Chromebook
ok, 1 USB-C but at least give me an SD slot to add memory while charging the damn thing
I was waiting for this vid!!!
As a student, all I really care about in a tablet is the note taking software support. Does this one has a pen support? How's it compared to S6 lite since they're about the same price?
The Duet is more for using as a reader when held on its own or a Google Drive workstation when using the keyboard. It supports stylus use. And the Duet will be supported for more years (eight!). Plus Chrome OS is getting so good now, I can abandon Android tablets. So for me, the choice is the Duet.
If you are interested in notetaking and drawing, don't use this duet. Get S6 lite. But if you care about web browsing, get this Duet. You get a full Chrome browser, not a water-down version on Android tablets.
@Anthony Gomes lol yepp, but I live in the US
It does
Rushikesh Patil , I still use the S4 taking notes everyday at job from 2-3 years ago and it’s totally fine. I think S6 should be even better. Don’t know about Chrome ítems, but...
The moment I new what is chromebook I personally loved the way the chrome os is designed and that’s what I love about these devices
Looks really good so far. Only wish it had a 4:3 aspect ratio, and maybe a high-end variant with 6-8GB of RAM and a higher resolution. Something around 1440P would make me happy.
The box absolutely makes a difference. Those brown boxes don't create any excitement.
Google should rid of android tablet and force the companies to use chrome os. Android tablets gives you just 2 years of updates (maximum) but chromebooks gets 8 years of updates. You can Install linux distos on It too. (If It has x86 amd64 cpu)
Until Google buggers up a chromebook update and make the device unreliable! As the last 4 updates have done to our devices!
@@jujuseducer6055 hey brother, do not you see that android tablets are just trash. If I pay some money for a device, I do not want to get just 2 years (late) updates and unsupported os by developers. (Developers do not support android tablet as they do to ipads) I hate the companies like samsung who just add too much boatwares into android devices to android tablets and after 2 years, they just kill updates. I personally think that google should make android like chrome os as well. Just give me at least 4-5 years of system updates for even midrange devices. I installed a custom chrome os into (It has Intel cpu) my Acer laptop, It was such stable and energy efficient os. I whould deffinitly contenie to use It but custom chrome os (neverware os) does not support android apps. I just switched to Manjaro OS because of that. I which google whould not be that coward and could just force companies to use chrome os instead of android on their tablets.
Can you buy a pen for this?
Any USI-compliant stylus, according to pre-release documentation.
GREAT INFO!

I love how our generation spends 90% of the time thinking about how a device feels in your hands and 10% of time actually using it lol
It’s an unboxing they didn’t have enough time to use it. The main selling point of this is its hardware anyways.
If a device feels terrible, using it wont be very fun in the long run, even if the specs are decent
If you car has 900 horsies under the hood, but the interior is crusty, smells like dogshit, and is rusted through, would you drive it?
Thanks for the vid. Mine comes in Thursday (5/14)! Any way you can test xbox xcloud (and console streaming)? I am really hoping it runs good, as I will do that about 50% of the time on this thing.
How are you liking it so far? Do you know if Netflix and Prime play in HD?
Any news if this unit is going to be released is South East Asia? (🇵🇭)
Hmm..ako rin hinihintay ko haha kung mairelease to sa pilipinas
Sir/mam na release na po?
Yyyyyeeeessss!!!! Mine is already on pre order from best buy!
Did you end up liking it? Ordering it tonight
@@purplegum1383 I adore it! I actually use it to the point I need to charge it daily. Just be warned, it can lag a little bit.
Which one is better hp chromebook x360 or lenovo duet
Apple be like:
*Want a device?*
Sure why not
*That's $800. Want a keyboard?*
Yea why not
*That's $100. Want a pen?*
I guess?
*That's $100. But now you need to protect your device. Want a case?*
Uhh... maybe n-
*That's $100. tHanKs FoR yOuR pUrChAsE*

Am really looking forward to you kicking the tyres on the Duet, as have been looking to upgrade from my beloved (and bullet-proof) Acer R11.
I bought the R11 3 years ago on a whim, just to see what Chromebook was all about - and fell in love with it’s versatility.
Despite having MacBooks, Windows laptops, iPads, iPhones and Kindle Fires - it is the R11 that I use most around the home.
The Duet looks even more versatile, and hopefully a bit quicker than the R11...
Really like your video, but could please focus more the camera on the product please. I spent the video looking at the bottom (like 1/10 of the screen).
I'm still using my old Toshiba Chromebook. It's so old that it doesn't get updates anymore. I just use it for web browsing and watching videos.
Manny Does is work well? If it does it’s better than my 2012 iPad mini on iOS 12
@@auliamate - Still working fine. Don't have problems watching videos from TH-cam, TH-camTV, Hulu, Prime videos, etc.
I can beat that. :) 2013 Acer C7. Amazing workhorse, the first thing I flip open if I want to look up some urgent thing or watch youtube videos in the evening. Totally amazed it still works well, but I have a Duet coming as it's finally time. And yes well out of updates now ...
About that headphone jack, all computers that put out audio have a DAC, because for the intern speakers and even for powering headphones through the USB-C you need to have one.
I have literally watched this video more than 2 times😂 I can't wait longer
So...3 times?
@@GuloGulo420 now it's 4 times
5 times
Can you do gaming test, like pubg and critical ops? I want to know if it has good touch responsiveness, and doesn't lag.
Other creators have said that the gaming experience is not very good. I have the device and the only game that runs OK is Minecraft education edition
@@james.13thank you
How's the performance becoz it's mediatek chip
appears to be decent, for example similar to a tab 5se.
Interested in the tablet form factor more than everything else, i mean chrome os might be the next step for tablet on google's side (android tablet are almost dead), and as my parents wants a tablet/hybrid and cheap device, this might be it
I bought an Acer Tab 10 in February and pretty happy with it. I guess android tablets are becoming a bit obsolete now huh)
Android tablet OS would've been alive and well today if Google didn't give up on it.
I finally bought one and I love it!
I don't recall it being covered, but here's another awesome feature. When you have the keyboard attached and want to quickly use it as a tablet, flip the keyboard under and it disables the keyboard. Very nice for a quick switch to tablet and back.
I'm looking forward to getting my hands on one of these for travel. My Asus 302 and 434's are a little too big for tray tables, and if the person in front reclines their seat forget doing any work on the Asus'!
I would just keep in mind that unlike a laptop style Chromebook, this one has the kickstand on the back and it's worth noting that it'll increase its footprint a little bit more then one might expect when set up. Won't be much, but it might interfere if you are already limited on space.
I've been waiting for this release since January, really looking forward to the full review.Thanks!
hope you test the lapabillity! seems like a good value.
Bro, stop with these videos man, you are making me want to buy a Chromebook🤣🤣 Your content is amazing man💪🏽
Can't wait until it lands in the UK
If I didn’t love my iPad 7th gen this would probably be something I’d be interested in.
Very interesting one!
What about running Linux and Android apps on it?
Guess crouton doesn't work on it, right?
Oktay Acikalin What is crouton
I've had my Duet for a couple days now and I couldn't be happier. My reason for buying it was to be a tablet first, laptop second. I think for this Lenovo has knocked it out of the park. It's a secondary device for me, so the processor is plenty powerful enough for me. And the keyboard is great for casual use, I wouldn't want to write a novel on this, but it works really well. It's just a beautiful package overall. My ONLY criticism is I wish the speakers were a little louder. They sound nice, they just don't get very loud. But so far I'm loving this. Looking forward to your full review.
Are you noticing a lot of bugs or lag?
I'm deciding between this and the pixel slate since it's so cheap rn. Any chance of a comparison video?
I second this
I got mine the more expensive moddle and I got a USI pen included so I am really happy with this ecperiance.
For what I need and want in a laptop/tablet/Chromebook this little guy is really checking all the boxes for me. And the fact that it only has one port is not actually a deal breaker for me. I picked up a USB-C multiport hub that address those needs. I've been eyeing the 128GB model to make sure I have enough local onboard storage and the hub has two SD card slots as well. I like watching your videos they are extremely informative in my decision to buy certain devices keep up the great work.
Isn't the cover weak?
When will this be released? I can't find anything online about it
Ultimately.
Screen time focusing device in the video should be increased
it seems to be on some nda. everybody put up their first look, no reviews allowed yet.
I would love to use this for my main computer but occasionally I need to get 3D prints and send g code to the printer. I wonder if there are any chrome OS based 3D packages
Shame we can’t buy this anywhere! Lenovo site says coming soon, bestbuy says sold out but not sure wether they had any anyway. Amazon - coming soon.
Can you recommend a great budget tablet with decent performance and pen support? Thanks.
Looks like a fantastic option for schools who want tablets and physical keyboard experiences for students. Love to hear your thoughts on how the form factor and the various parts to the product work in that setting.
Finally I'm having this marvelous Duet. I bought it yesterday in Istanbul, Turkey. I wrote to you a year ago that we have no chromebooks in Turkey. Now we have this model officially. Thank you.
How could you not get excited for the unboxing experience? lol. like to buy the more premium and higher quality tech stuff, but I rarely every upgrade since I wait for it to pretty much die before I replace it. To poor to upgrade for the sake of upgrading. The unboxing is almost like a religious experience for me, lol. When I got my Note 9, I took my sweet time unboxing and just inspecting and all that. Hoping to keep this phone for 5-8 years. And my almost 3 months old LG gram 17 (Costco version and on sale cant beat it) for hopefully 6 to 10 years, or longer if possible. Still thinking about getting that HP Envy 17 inch laptop though from Best Buy with the NVIDIA mx330. The new model for this year. Would love any thoughts on that if possible.
Me personally I don't think it would be good for studen5s going to school that only want a chromebook only, though it's lightweight it feels you have to carry twk things at once.
Chrome Unboxed --- would you get your Acer Chromebook Tab 10, with its wacom stylus, and test it with the v81 or v83 OS
to see how it comperes with the Lenovo Duet? and the Belkin Keyboard For Acer Chromebook Tab 10
(( all these reviews are 12 months old , maybe 8 OS versions ago. ))
th-cam.com/users/results?search_query=9+to+5+android++acer+chromebook+tab+10
sold out already at Best BUy? Seems Lenovo may have made a very attractive product! The kicker for me will be how capable the processor is, and how bright the display is. seems great though!
You say it has a MT 8183, but elsewhere all seem to say it has a Helio P60T. I havent found the "T" yet, but the regular P60 seems comparable to the 8183 if not a smidge faster anyway.,
Nowadays I'm really asking myselft, who actually still buys chromebooks?
Surface go is a full os, and ipad os on an ipad with all the tweaks apple made in the last years is also just better than what chromeOS gives us. Especially simple chrome laptops without conventible features don't make any sense, except in schools? Or should this replace a new generation of android tablets?
It's a good device for reading books and light browsing while on the go ... Never bought a tablet .. just too many devices ... but ... I am having second thoughts about this one. This certainly has got to be better than Android os, but then it also begs the question, why buy an Android Tablet? Or why do Android tablets exist?
I currently have a duet Chromebook for about three weeks now. I love it, but just can't stand waiting a min and 20 seconds to load Netflix app. Not sure if anyone experiencing with the same issue as I have. I laugh out of fustration just staring at the screen with the red NETFLIX logo! lol
It's a shame they didn't use a Mediatek Dimesity chipset inside this tablet. Would be way more powerful & future proof than the Helio P60T. Expandable storage would've been nice.
Sold out at bestbuy pretty quick
Can I suggest something?
Don't do unboxing videos for Chromebooks coming with brown cardboard boxes. I would of skipped one of these premium products without even realising that the unboxing experience is good in this machine.
Are the Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint basic features (reading, editing, saving) free to use since the screen is exactly at 10.1"? Can you kindly check it out? Thanks!
How is it compared to the Lenovo Ideapad D330, i know they run separate OS, D330 runs Windows 10S and Duet runs Chrome OS but how does it compare against it
he says phone processors as if ARM is proving to be more powerful and efficient hahahaha. change your attitude mate , seems like they are making you do this unboxing on a Sunday morning or during a match of your favourite team
I am kinda believer of Chromebook. since we all know how mess is Android Tablet for regular social media use (like twitter for example). and somehow how mess browsing desktop sites on android (always load the mobile version and sometimes despite we already click "Load Desktop version" still loads the mobile ones) and also sometimes feels kinda slow if we use android tablet for load desktop web (In my experience).
But chromebook, it's nice, fast, and always automatically opening desktop version of the webpages. and It's more useful for me to use chromebook tablet instead of android tablet for daily browsing on facebook, youtube, twitter.
maybe people asing but what about iPad? well since I am too locked with google ecosystem (I am using GSuites, G-One, and many other Google Services for my daily use) right now. It's kinda hard for me to choose iPad instead of this one. Really excited with the chromebook duet. I really hope Lenovo Indonesia will bring this to our country.
As for the comment about the Boxes, I think my point would be - how much are we paying for the box? I'd rather have a shitty box and take the saving on the overall cost.
This is....just wow... Why did I get the galaxy phonebook?? Probably should have gotten this one... oh well lol
I wonder if this can run proper Linux. It having a Mediatek SoC will make it difficult, but there should be some way right?
I think such devices should have some Linux (as in GNU/Linux, if you will) preinstalled instead of ChromeOS; it is much more useful.
For me spending $1000 for a Chromebook is insanity, but $300 for well built convertible Chromebook? Hell yeah.
Does this Chrome tablet have the new Universal Stylus or Pen support? Also does it support the Linux Beta runtime as well?
its not bad just doesnt connect to my android phone through bluetooth as its stated its supposed to but it dont also it dont pick up my android phone while the bluetooth is turned on on both so bluetooth wise fail
Does this tablet support the desktop version of Chrome allowing for the support of Chrome Extensions?
They should have added expandable storage in this thing. Content consumption will only be ideal at home over wifi. If you decide to go on a trip, you are very limited to the amount of media this device will allow you to store.
Exactly. This is why I'm hesitant to buy one. I live out in rural US, so good luck finding wifi in between towns.
I was checking to buy one but i didn't found one because they were all sold out so i will want to know if there are gonna be more of the Lenovo's Chromebook duet or what
Do you guys think I should trade in my iPad 2018 + Logitech slim folio for this? The 1 RAM is the most annoying thing ever.
Sorry to bother you. Do you know when Lenovo will have this tablet for sale?? I went to lenovo.com , andd doesn't show up.
What a about the drop test? Not sure how durable this thing is when we drop it at knee, waist level and above, with and without the keyboard.
Literally right when I bought my chromebook Lenovo this came out and i wanted it
NOW IM GRETING IT
Hi Robby, just gotta say I love your reviews. These convinced me to ditch my Android tablet and switch to Chrome OS. Loved it so far. I'd like your advise on which pen to purchase for this Duet tab. Thanks
as for performance its kinda great device than ideapad duet 3 but well its about money if u want yoga
Can anyone tell me what the name of the app is that is always on the taskbar
its the yellow background with the red line in the center?
apple and microsoft can also do the same,inlcude a less premium or pen in the box instead of paying a lot extra for them
Why we buy chromebook if we can install Chrome OS at any devices ? I mean, it's not like android devices.
The box can be trash means nothing, I fast forward all unboxing parts of videos, it's so ridiculous jmo
Please include more B- rolls in your full review
You can install the app armcrest view pro in this device for a surveillance camera???.
No headphone jack = no deal.
Agreed, such a shame,I need to replace my android tablet, but I also need a headphone socket. Not being able to charge and listen at the same time is a deal-breaker. Bluetooth headphones are also useless for anything but casual listening as they have too much delay.
