Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5 Chromebook review

 

One of the best Chromebooks ever just got better

Gorgeous display ; Phenomenal battery life ; Respectable performance ; Bigger keyboard

Flimsy keyboard ; Difficult kickstand ; Stylus not included ; Not great as a tablet

While not the most powerful Chromebook on the market, the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5 Chromebook still packs a punch along with outstanding battery life, a gorgeous display, and a new form factor that improves on last year's model – as long as you're looking...

Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5 Chromebook review: A confident convertible | IT PRO

 

A gorgeous display, superb battery life and Surface Pro-style form factor all lift the Duet 5 above its rivals

Fantastic screen ; Impressive battery life ; Good value

Disappointing keyboard ; Somewhat unwieldy as a tablet ; Rivals are more powerful

Lenovo IdeaPad Chromebook Duet 5 review: Less than the sum of its parts

 

Lenovo's bigger, better Chrome OS tablet isn't actually that great as a tablet, but the IdeaPad Chromebook Duet 5's OLED display is drop-dead gorgeous.

Gorgeous screen ; Amazing battery life ; Good price

Gorgeous screen ; Amazing battery life ; Good price

In terms of hardware the Duet 5 is an almost perfect upgrade to the original budget design. But its big, wide screen make it awkward as a tablet, and it’s only so-so as a laptop alternative.

Lenovo Duet 5 Chromebook review

 

The Lenovo Duet 5 Chromebook's OLED display and 13+ hours of battery life make it a near-perfect Chromebook

Excellent battery life ; Detachable 2-in-1 design ; Bright, vivid OLED display ; Keyboard and cover included

Stylus not included ; Weak performance for the price

The Lenovo Duet 5 Chromebook can’t compete on power, but it makes up for it with a gorgeous OLED display, over 13 hours of battery life and a versatile 2-in-1 form factor.

Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5i (Gen 7) review: Surface Pro aspirations with performance limitations

 

Intel's Core i3 processor limits the Gen 7 Duet 5i.

Keyboard included in price ; Bright color accurate screen ; Keyboard can be used detached with Bluetooth connectivity ; Long battery life

Lackluster performance with Intel Core i3 configuration ; Some cracking sounds when unfolding kickstand ; McAfee bloatware comes with annoying pop-ups

The Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5i is an affordable alternative to Microsoft’s premium Surface Pro 9 that doesn’t compromise on design or build quality. If you can live with the sluggish Intel Core i3 processor for U.S. models, the IdeaPad Duet 5i rewards you...

[Review] The Lenovo Duet 5 Chromebook holds a bright future for Chrome OS

 

A 13.3-inch tablet seems ridiculously huge, but Lenovo nailed the essentials with the Duet 5 and produced one of the most unique and fun Chromebooks of 2021. Here's why it's almost perfect — and why it should be your next family Chromebook.

Touchscreen is twice as bright as 2-in-1s ; Detachable keyboard and kickstand ; Snapdragon 7c 2nd Gen sips battery like cognac ; 8GB RAM models available at launch

Good for casual computing, not heavy workloads ; Keyboard hinge isn't great

: With a screen you have to see to believe and battery that can go all day and then some, the Lenovo Duet 5 steals from the best of both worlds. For casual computing, homework, and weekend Disney+ binges in bed, this Chrome OS tablet fits the bill...
