Reader question from Mike: “PLEASE address HD 1080p streaming and downloading through Android apps. I even used the small slate for some Google Stadia gaming and everything looked detailed and fluid, although the graphics are really rendered in the cloud. I watch most of my television and movie content on Chromebooks and I enjoyed doing the same on the Lenovo Duet Chromebook. Regardless, I like the screen’s output for work and for entertainment. It’s not a problem and there are nine different resolution settings to choose from, but I find it odd. It’s only when you move the resolution setting to 1080 x 675 when you see the word “Default” for the screen res. But the Chrome OS Settings app doesn’t say that. One other interesting aspect about that 400-nit bright display with native 1920 x 1200 resolution: The default resolution is 1440 x 900. I simply enabled the Night Light setting to be always-on and adjusted the screen temperature to be a smidgen warmer. I still find the display a little too cool for my tastes but that’s easy to mitigate if you feel the same. Those keys are a bigger challenge to me than the small trackpad, which again is limited by available space for a tablet of this size. But I get frustrated with the smaller punctuation keys it has definitely slowed down my typing speeds and/or has led to more inadvertent typing errors. Lenovo has done as good a job here as I think anyone could. That’s to be expected when designing a keyboard that can’t be wider than the display in landscape mode. The overall typing experience is good but the keys are small and about one dozen of the keys are about half the size as a full-sized keyboard would have. I still think the build quality, materials, design, durability, and display are all better than you’d expect at this price.Īnd although I can get used to practically any keyboard, I still struggle at times with the included detachable one even though I don’t mind that it isn’t backlit. Not much has changed from my i nitial hands-on and first impressions of the Lenovo Duet Chromebook. Overall quality, display, design and input I’ll share my thoughts on that aspect after covering the basics and answering a few previously asked reader questions along the way. However, I also think that the question of “Should you buy it?” depends on if you plan to use it as a primary or a secondary device. Overall, I think it’s a great value for the price. Additionally, I knew Chrome OS 83 was due for release soon so I wanted to complete my testing with that version, which arrived last week.
The main reason is that I realized something about the latest Chrome OS tablet: There will be different potential buyers of this small slate. I’ve been using the $299 configuration of the Lenovo Duet Chromebook for several weeks now, which is longer than I typically take to review Chromebooks.
