Hi, a free bump for you for such great device !

I have one too, purchased oversea on April (Due to Lenovo Malaysia not bring in on that time, but still with Lenovo warranty traceable) .

This mighty tablet (or 2 in 1 you say) can do many thing that iPad or normal android can't do despite the spec look slow. In fact, it out perform even most expensive iPad Pro on majority web base task. You get FULL DESKTOP environment instead of "Pro"fessional device like other guys mentioned. You won't need to pay, any cent.

It not only run Android App (100% of my app working), but also run Linux (which I never try, btw). The keyboard cover come with it is swallow to type but actually not bad to type on after some times of use, it is stable, and firm. I would say it is better than Samsung S7 Keyboard, the trackpad is miles better than S7 Keyboard, and nearly as smooth as most of expensive windows laptop's trackpad. (Despite sometimes may stuck when your finger is dry, this is due to the surface is not made of glass.) There has few useful gesture like 3 finger swipe up/down for multi tasking, 4 fingers to move between desktop each. Very "MacOS" like working environment.

The kickstand is pretty sturdy and the magnet is strong, don't mention the fabric feel really nice when you hold it. It do feel the weight when carry together, but the tablet itself is very light when detached.

The Display is insanely good quality for it price, in fact, in term of resolution (16:10, 1920x1200) , Color Gamut, Contrast, and brightness (400nits), it make most RM2k to 3k laptop shame. You won't believe the price you pay for it's quality, usually this price you only get sub standard display.

The battery life of this thing also no brainer, it last more than 1 day, and last longer than most Intel 11th (even EVO). It draw almost zero power during standby, watching hour of Youtube can't even draw few % of juice. The ARM + ChromeOS really suitable for mobile user if you are 1 of them, comparable to iPad battery life but doing more than iPad when come to "Proper" job.

The UBC-C support power pass thru hub eg: Ugreen , you can connect HDMI, Lan Network, SD Card, USB 3 (In fact, all 3 port can work simultaneously) , the USB C port even support USB-C External Monitor together with Multi-Touch function (Tested with Lenovo M14T), It supply power & signal to the screen, no cable needed, just worked.

The processor & graphic sound slow on paper (more on that later), and 4GB ram seems to be not enough, same does the 64GB eMMC look small too. But believe me, it handle most webpages very well, and up to 20 Tabs without crashed, even with youtube Screen on Screen playing. Yeah, it do feel "1 or 2 sec" loading when switching between tab, but that's only happen when 20 tabs in chrome, with below 10 tabs, it actually very snappy. Scrolling was also no lag, at all, even 20 tabs.

The network interface from this little ChromeBook also desktop class, you can SMB (Network file share) between Mac or Windows, Wire or Wireless. And you can also use VNC for screen sharing between them. You can also use it as Torrent machine to download file. (JS Torrent)

The build in Camera is awful if you expect to snap picture, but if use for document scanning like Adobe Scan (Android app) is more than fine. It is detail and sharp for such task. Same does the selfie camera (call it webcam more suitable), my daughter used for online class (Google classroom, Zoom, Google Meet, etc), working really well.

If you doing e-Commerce like shopee and lazada, this thing can made your life easier with proper web version for upload product, sales, and service. It can install 2 WhatsApp and running together (1 is normal whatsapp, 1 is whatsapp business, both Android apps). Infact, I am running total of 5 WhatsApp on it. Minus the 2 android apps, I am running another 3 whatsapp in Web, 1 in chrome , 1 in Microsoft Edge (Android App), 1 in Firefox (Android App as well).

Now come to the weakness of this thing (but most can be solved by some tricks) :

1. Don't stress it. The processor on this thing is slow if you stress it, eg. open as many app together, but it work pretty well if only 2 or 3 apps running. BUT IT WONT CRASH or HANG. Just be patient, expect to see 1 or 2 sec wait when switching between app.

2. Don't expect to play heavy 3D games on it. Although I don't really play games on mobile phone or ipad, but I did download some casual card / casino game to burn some time. This thing handle 3D is slow, you will see amount of slow 3D rendering in game (still, not hang, but frame drop). It work fine if you install those kid game like Angry bird, Lego world. Expect you are using iPhone5 kind of tech on today. Understand ?

3. Tiny speaker. Lenovo set the volume on this thing pretty below it's level. Thats why you will see the volume is low even set to Max, but the Stereo experience is good. You can fixed it by installing a chrome extension name "Volume Master" , crank it up to 250% your life will become better instantly. No worry, it would pop your speaker, instead, it sound full and with more detail. It bring that 2x1W speaker back to it's life.

4. 10.2 Inch feel cramp to use for proper "windowed" environment. Still, you can install "Picture on Picture" extension from Chrome Store (Free), Video from Youtube, Bilibili, Facebook can play small but adjustable anywhere on the screen.

5. ChromeOS best with keyboard attached, but awful when detached. It is built for desktop experience, but tablet mode is not really good as iPad. But still way better than Windows 10 offered. You can still use finger to do many thing unlike windows 10, but just not best as iPad experience. Android App work fine with tablet mode, though.

6. 64GB eMMC is slow when transfer large file. I think at this price point, I don't mind to paymore if Lenovo can put better SSD here. Some part of slow is not caused by the processor but this slow eMMC contribute as well.

Overall, i would say it is very good working device if your task can work with the spec. You won't get this type of experience with the price from other device.

I buy 1 more units of this after using 1 week, for my daughter. Now I have 3 units total in my house for everyone who need to work with it. It is a very great device that no one know about it.

Try google or Youtube, most review are positive.

Good luck seller.

Hi bro, thank you so much for your such great review on this Duet device.

Yes, it's amazing on such performance. Although running with slow processor, but it's enough to do a lot of important task.

As I know Lenovo Duet 5 is coming soon, with 13.3 OLED screen.

I already upgraded to Acer ChromeBook Spin 713, the most advance, super powerful Chromebook in year 2020. It even better than 2021 Intel Evo version.

Why I choose to use ChromeBook instead of Windows / Mac?

1. Free from Virus / Malware world!
2. Super fast & smooth.
3. Battery Life.
4. Best for Web Development.

The most I use ChromeBook, the more I love it.
