Great description !

I have this computer. I bought it on sale and it's probably one of the best purchases I have ever made. I like to travel alot and the small form factor is nice for portability. I tend to "one bag" my trips and it's nice that it takes virtually no space in my bag. There is a slight lack of pen support, but the Lazarite Pen M works perfectly on this. Swap out the pen battery with a rechargeable battery and your good to go. Galaxy S8 Plus Tab screen protectors fit on this display. I use the supershields non-glass and it works great with the pen. The bluetooth keyboard is awesome and comfortable enough to do homework/work on. It's nice to be able to plug the tablet to a tv and lay in bed with the functional backlit keyboard. That makes Netflix on the go a treat. Excel runs well on this machine even with the 8gbs. If you are tech savvy, then you can enable advance power options and tweak the battery settings and fan settings to extend your battery life. I get 11hrs consistent unplugged on both tablet mode and with bluetooth on with certain power adjustments. The fan is quiet when you change from active to passive and the heat is nonexistent if you upgrade the thermal paste. Upgradability is easy since the screen is just held by a few screws and clips. Add thermal pads instead of paste on both the ssd and cpu. I would even suggest going the extra mile and add a slim copper heatsink to the ssd if you're adding the thermals pads. There's enough space for a slim one. Do that and your fan will virtually never turn on lol. The ram is not upgradable. I would upgrade both the ssd and wifi cards if you decide to crack the machine open. This is not a gaming machine so don't expect to do that. Overall, I love this machine for travel! Anything I need to do requiring more power I have a separate non tablet machine for that with the proper specs. This is for homework, media, non-enterprise business and non-creative intensive work.

thx for the review! great video! what about the speaker quality in comparison with the surface pro 8?

Thank you for your review. To begin with the holiday season just ended. Also, I find all the still supported Surface tablets and laptops over priced. So for me this Lenovo tablet has just about everything I'm looking for at the right (discounted) price. But the real competition for my money comes from Apple's new 10.2 Ipad, latest edition. These Ipads are solidly built and offer exactly what I want, perhaps at a slightly higher price than I actually want to pay. Which one will I buy? Stay tuned.....!

Great review, thank you for that. I'm in the market because my tablet battery just gave up, and my laptop at 4 years old is nearing the end of it's life. I've been debating a Surface thinking it could replace both devices, and after your review I found a duet 5 on sale for $529. I bought it, and after living with it for a little over a week have decided to return it. I thought I would share my experience here. When I use a laptop instead of a tablet, I typically use it for productivity on our porch or in the living room where I don't have a table or flat surface to rest it on, or when traveling where you need some stability. The keyboard arrangement doesn't suit any of those uses very well, so unless I have something appropriate to set it on it's not very useful when on the move. From a performance standpoint my 4 year old laptop outperforms it by a wide margin, even though that device is only a very basic i3 with similar storage capacity. I expected better from a modern gen device. The fan on this is constantly running, and perhaps I got a bad one, but it's quite loud. This has a nicer display, but I found myself going back to my current laptop within a day or two. When I use a tablet, it's mostly for content consumption and web browsing. This device is a little too large and heavy to make an ideal tablet replacement. I have no experience with the Microsoft Surface devices, and did not appreciate how terrible Windows is as a tablet OS. Something as simple as double clicking a desktop shortcut takes zero thought with a mouse, but on a touch screen makes the interface feel clunky and out dated. Nothing is sized correctly in my opinion for tablet style usage, and Windows lacks the smoothness of a tablet specific OS when using gestures or switching between apps. The touch screen keyboard takes up too much of the display to be useful, I suppose because they try to imitate the size of a true laptop style keyboard. I spent most of my time with it attempting to get used to it for that use case, without success. Many of my complaints with this device probably stem from the fact that, as I mentioned previously, I have no experience with the Surface and I was expecting too much. I probably could have found work arounds for the form factor, and the screen I think is quite beautiful. The speakers sound good for what they are, and overall the device was responsive and I quite like the design. For me though it didn't do a good enough job for either use case to replace the two devices I currently have. I'm going to return it and probably go with a Lenovo Tab 11 pro G2 for a tablet, then start saving for a new laptop around Black Friday 2023.

Best buy has openbox excellent for $509, $90 off the regular price. That's not terrible. The last thing I need is another two in one tablet with the detachable keyboard. I already have a surface pro 7, the tab S7 and the Lenovo duet. But I'm obviously a fan of this form factor.

most reliable clip on this tablet i’ve watched

Will this device help me for my photoshop, video editing and basic graphic designing ?

Thanks for the great video as usual. Do you happen to know what stylus works with it and where to purchase it? Or anyone in the comments? Thanks.

Good review.

Thank you. )

I love this. $530. Chose this over a surface pro 8 Amazon was selling for $770 without KB.

Is this the raptor lake or the previous gen

Wanna detach the keyboard.. but Can't seem to get the keyboard to work eevnthough it's already connected via bluetooth.. u know how to set it up?

Are there any protective cases for this tablet? I'd like to use on the shop floor but need better protection! Lenovo doesn't have anything and I'm hoping some aftermarket case is available. Thanks!

It's definitely an good alternative to Android tablets. A comparable Samsung with 8gig of ram & Snapdragon chip is $700 & no keyboard. I would just install a light weight linux on this sucker which takes up only 3 or 4 gigs of storage. Less taxing on the system.

does the duet 5i come with the palm rejection feature, as I want to use it for note taking

Great video. Kindly answer my questions: 1. How is the battery life? 2. How is the built-in speaker volume? Not for music, but for KZfaq videos, calling, etc? 3. How is the web browsing performance? If you open 5-10 tabs, does it slow down?

I assume that when the keyboard is attached to the tablet, the keyboard is charged by the tablet, correct?

Hi, can this be charged with a regular android phone USB-C charger, or does it have to be it's own charger? Thanks!

Question what’s the name of the charger :( I just lots my charger and I don’t know what’s the name I have the same laptop

So it's similar to 11400H I might use this for handbrake and compress vids on my NAS

How is the experience of tablet mode with pen?

Which is latest? Duet 7i or duet 5i?

I’m having a hard time choosing between this and the surface pro 7+. Best Buy has them both at very reasonable prices.

here in Italy is ""on sale"" at 899€, in the US always prices are lower :(

Duet 5 or Duet 5i? Which one performs faster/better with video streaming assuming both have 8GB memory and have the best config? Any thoughts?

The lack of micro SD card slot is almost a deal breaker for me 🥺

I like the fact that the detachable keyboard can be used wirelessly since it has a Bluetooth radio in it. It's just a shame that this tablet lack Thunderbolt port, or else I'd pick this over Microsoft Surface Pro.

How much "usable" storage is available?

The keyboard and mousepad freeze while it attaches straight with the tablet and both tablet and keyboard make >45 degree on your lap. You can't use keyboard of this model on your lap when your lap is tilting >45 degree. Lenovo want to refund me money only 853$ after I use it for three months when I found the issue. I bought it on Nov 13, 2022 at 1,120$ in Thailand thus I refused to get the refund and keep using the faulty manufacturing device of Lenovo with painfulness. However Lenovo Thailand gave me extending warranty but That's not what I want, I want new device because Lenovo's mechanician came and damage my device.
