I knew the manufacturer and the retail store as well as the product line.

Putting want versus need aside, I debated the prospect of more productivity and convenience with a bigger screen at 400 nits, larger keyboard, and 8GB of RAM. The Duet line has a detachable keyboard and is a stand-alone ChromeOS tablet. What fed my attraction to the Duet 5 is its logical follow-up to the very popular 10.1″ original Duet I bought a few years ago. I can run the same productivity apps and access their data directly on the Chromebook.

They link to my Android phone and its apps. ChromeOS devices supplement my home office cadre of Linux computers. That failure is not considered a valid claim under Lenovo’s warranty. You might get a unit like mine that does not do Linux even though it is supposed to work. In fact, if your primary need for a Chromebook is to run Linux apps, think again about not buying Lenovo’s Duet 5. Its larger screen and detachable full-size keyboard make a usable and fun tablet experience not available with pure Android devices.įor me, that accolade falls far short of reaching that mark. The Duet 5 is regarded in numerous reliable reviews as the best overall ChromeOS tablet/detachable computer available this year. In hindsight, that was a purchase I wish I could undo.

I bought Lenovo’s Chromebook Duet 5 for an attractive price from a major national electronics store. In my case, that scenario is particularly true.

That collision usually does not bode well for the customer. Sometimes the world of smart technology innovations collides with the planet of dumb customer service provisions.
