Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3 Chromebook| 11 inch 2K Touchscreen Laptop | Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c | 8GB RAM | 128GB eMMC | Chrome OS | Storm Grey USI Pen 2

This Chromebook is brilliant. I've used it more as a tablet so far to play games on, the play store is available on here and easy to use. Everything on the tablet is very easy to manoeuvre, especially if you're already accustomed to using android systems, though even if not it shouldn't take too long to get used to. The first start up you need to download a few updates and have a few restarts before you can get going, but they don't take too long to do. So far I've only used the tablet for some internet browsing and downloading and playing games. Everything has worked quickly, even turning on the tablet is very quick. The pen comes with the 8gb RAM option, it is the first time I've used one of these so I can't compare to others, but it does the job it's supposed to do, it's much more accurate than a simple stylus and I had fun using the handwriting app to have a play, watching it turn my writing into typed text. I use it a bit while playing some games, but can see it would be great for someone that creates art on their tablets. The keyboard is very easy to attach, it has a strong magnet that snaps it into place and it works straight away, there's no loading time or anything, just snap it on and off as and when needed. It works well and feels just like a normal small laptop. The case is very sturdy, it too as magnetic so it snaps into place. I was concerned when reading at the time of purchase that the stand would wear out quite quickly with it being in use a lot but it's definitely strong. It has hinges on it so it's not just some bendy material that will wear out, so it's made very well and I can see it lasting a long time. The case itself is also very smart looking. The only issue I could find is that you have to have the keyboard attached so that the screen has some protection. So if you are taking it out and only need the tablet, you will still need to take the keyboard with you. It's only a small issue really as the keyboard isn't adding a drastic amount of weight or anything, it's more about having the option of taking it with you or not. Overall I absolutely love this tablet, it's built well, very sturdy accessories and definitely worth the money spent on it, great value product.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3 is an impressive 2-in-1 device that seamlessly blends portability with functionality. Its sleek design, lightweight chassis, and detachable keyboard make it perfect for on-the-go users. The vibrant 11-inch touchscreen display offers crisp visuals, ideal for streaming content or productivity tasks. Performance-wise, the Duet 3 is equipped with adequate processing power for everyday tasks, though it may struggle with heavy multitasking. Battery life is commendable, lasting through a full day of use. While the trackpad can be a bit cramped, the overall typing experience is satisfactory. This device is exceptionally priced for students or professionals seeking versatility without breaking the bank.

I bought this Levono tablet to replace a faulty tablet built by a lesser known Chinese manufacturer. (The manufacturer wanted me to send the faulty unit back for replare via courier to China at my own expense - £120.00!! - even though it was still under warranty! - whereas Amazon arranged for a next -day collection and refund at no quibble! - so 5-stars to Amazon). I chose Levovo after using their PC's at work and that unlike my previous tablet, Lenovo is a well known manufacturer. (Plus I think that should it goes wrong, they're not likely to want me to send it to China to be mended and at my own expense). The build of the tablet and detactable keyboard is very sturdy. The cases to the tablet is metal with a smooth satin anodised finish. The keyboard has a fabric weaved backing. The stand to the tablet when used as a laptop is a bit unusual though. It attaches magnetically to the back of the tablet, making it detachable - useful in someways I suppose - but if you forget to take it out with you when using the keyboard you'll have to prop it up with a book or something. The covering to the stand is - like the keyboard - covered with a fabric weave. Time will tell how well how well the fabric on the stand and keyboard copes with normal wear and tear. The keys to the keyboard have a very good positive touch to them. The keyboard itself connects to the tablet very firmly. There's little danger of the keyboard coming adrift accidentally. The 10.95" display on the screen is crisp, and the colours are very good. (I would've liked to get a tablet with a 12" screen, but money dictated otherwise). Some have complained that there is no 3.5 mm sterio headphone socket on this tablet and that the sound from the speakers is tinny. That is true. However the unit comes with a USB-C to 3.5 mm converter as the unit only has 2 USB-C sockets on either end of the case. These serve as charging and audio output. The audio quality is good through earbuds, whereas it's a bit tinney through tablet speakers. But one cannot expect full sterio surround-sound with full bass with a unit of this size. Speed-wise I'm no expert when it comes to processor speed compaired to others, but to me it's very good. As regards to the operating system .... this is my first venture into the world of ChromeOS, so I'm still finding my way round it. In desktop mode it feels and looks like Windows, whereas in tablet form it looks like typical Android. The only thing I think Lenovo should've included in the build is a mini SD card slot. The only other problem - which is not Lenovo's fault - is the lack of tablet cases that can take the tablet and keyboard for this model. Overall Im pretty pleased with it.

It's my first Chromebook, I do like it very much. The only thing that I hadn't noticed until my bluetooth headphones battery was low was that there is nowhere to plug your earphones in if you wish to use them wired. I thought I was just being stupid and looked all over, time and time again, but there are only two C connection ports. I've never come across this before. I looked in the Amazon product page and it said nothing about either having or not having a wired headphone connection, so I looked at the reviews and all it said was that there was a headphone jack, and yes the machine comes with two cables.....but if there is nowhere to plug the jack into on the tablet part, what's the sense in that? Maybe I am missing something obvious?🤷
