5.0 out of 5 stars it grows on you
Bought this as a general purpose browsing and email and light work device. something portable and flexible. The more I got into the guts of it, the more I’ve got it to do. Getting Linux to run on it , admittedly with some subtle differences in how bash syntax works, has been a game changer. Can use ssh to hop onto linux boxes, can use the guitar tabs app to download music during a gig foe any unexpected requests. It’s an all round winner. Battery life is great too.

4.0 out of 5 stars It’s a good little machine
It’s my first Chromebook, I do like it very much. The only thing that I hadn’t noticed until my bluetooth headphones battery was low was that there is nowhere to plug your earphones in if you wish to use them wired. I thought I was just being stupid and looked all over, time and time again, but there are only two C connection ports. I’ve never come across this before. I looked in the Amazon product page and it said nothing about either having or not having a wired headphone connection, so I looked at the reviews and all it said was that there was a headphone jack, and yes the machine comes with two cables…..but if there is nowhere to plug the jack into on the tablet part, what’s the sense in that? Maybe I am missing something obvious?🤷

5.0 out of 5 stars Good value and good quality.
I bought this Levono tablet to replace a faulty tablet built by a lesser known Chinese manufacturer. (The manufacturer wanted me to send the faulty unit back for replare via courier to China at my own expense – £120.00!! – even though it was still under warranty! – whereas Amazon arranged for a next -day collection and refund at no quibble! – so 5-stars to Amazon).
I chose Levovo after using their PC’s at work and that unlike my previous tablet, Lenovo is a well known manufacturer. (Plus I think that should it goes wrong, they’re not likely to want me to send it to China to be mended and at my own expense).
The build of the tablet and detactable keyboard is very sturdy. The cases to the tablet is metal with a smooth satin anodised finish. The keyboard has a fabric weaved backing. The stand to the tablet when used as a laptop is a bit unusual though. It attaches magnetically to the back of the tablet, making it detachable – useful in someways I suppose – but if you forget to take it out with you when using the keyboard you’ll have to prop it up with a book or something. The covering to the stand is – like the keyboard – covered with a fabric weave. Time will tell how well how well the fabric on the stand and keyboard copes with normal wear and tear.
The keys to the keyboard have a very good positive touch to them. The keyboard itself connects to the tablet very firmly. There’s little danger of the keyboard coming adrift accidentally.
The 10.95″ display on the screen is crisp, and the colours are very good. (I would’ve liked to get a tablet with a 12″ screen, but money dictated otherwise).
Some have complained that there is no 3.5 mm sterio headphone socket on this tablet and that the sound from the speakers is tinny. That is true. However the unit comes with a USB-C to 3.5 mm converter as the unit only has 2 USB-C sockets on either end of the case. These serve as charging and audio output. The audio quality is good through earbuds, whereas it’s a bit tinney through tablet speakers. But one cannot expect full sterio surround-sound with full bass with a unit of this size.
Speed-wise I’m no expert when it comes to processor speed compaired to others, but to me it’s very good.
As regards to the operating system …. this is my first venture into the world of ChromeOS, so I’m still finding my way round it. In desktop mode it feels and looks like Windows, whereas in tablet form it looks like typical Android.
The only thing I think Lenovo should’ve included in the build is a mini SD card slot. The only other problem – which is not Lenovo’s fault – is the lack of tablet cases that can take the tablet and keyboard for this model.
Overall Im pretty pleased with it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Defective operating system
Shortly after I began using the Duet I experienced the same problems described by a previous reviewer in a review that he posted several days after the laptop was delivered to me. Apps began opening and closing erratically, random data was input into fields in the Chrome browser, and the computer became unusable. At first I thought that I had that extreme rarity, a Chrome virus/malware, but a scan with AVG antivirus gave the all clear. Another problem was that the touchscreen was laboriously slow and laggy: sometimes the screen took up to seven seconds to respond to input. I checked for firmware updates but there were none. I found that switching off the screen for a few seconds put a temporary stop to the operating system going haywire but there was no solution to the lazy touchscreen problem. Unfortunately the OS issue grew worse and worse until I reached the point where turning off the screen failed to reset the OS. The last straw came when I checked Google forums and found that the Duet operating system has known instability issues and consequently many people have experienced the same problems that I and my fellow reviewer experienced. With one day left in my return window I decided to return this defective computer and posted it back to Amazon. Refund has been received.

3.0 out of 5 stars Had to return it
Performs well for a tablet with a keyboard attached to it, but the keyboard is way too small for someone with big hands like me. You’ll need nimble fingers to operate this thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars My goto Chromebook for on the go computing
So I’ve got the Snapdragon 7c 2k screen 8GB Lenovo 3 – for my line of work I wouldn’t use anything less than 8GB models for running ChromeOS, if you choose the 4GB models I think you’d start to feel some pain depending on how many WebApps, Android Apps and Linux Apps you might leave open . This joins as my 3rd Chromebook device – amongst other old laptops running ChromeOS Flex (Chromebook without the Android features)
What I really like about this Lenovo 3 8GB
Portability – The thin flip detachable keyboard is great for when I need to do some quick diagnostics in a server room or when not a my base location etc The keyboard feels light to travel , the mouse trackpad is OK not great but then again I don’t like trackpads so I tend to pair my existing keyboard and mouse. The keyboard acts as part of the screen cover – so any grease or dirt you have on fingers etc will end up on the screen if you’ve been using the keyboard, e.g. keyboard dirt squares on the screen – standard laptop issue imho. The otherside of the Lenovo has a back fabric feel which acts as a bendable stand, I’ve had the magnets detach once when I pushed the screen backwards on the sofa.
Device Connections – I’ve had no issues bluetooth pairing with my existing Logi Mx3s Keyboard and MX3 Mouse so that I can maintain device feel continuity between my Chromebooks, When using my usb-c hub for connecting ethernet, usb thick and hdmi monitors output etc I found that this Lenovo can only drive 1 additional external monitor this is unlike my Asus and Google Pixel Go Chromebooks which drive 3 external monitors happily, keep this limitation in mind. The Lenovo has no issue when attached to my 32′ 4k Monitor via a usb-c connection.
Size and Weight – In Tablet mode is good, but so far I rarely use it, it’s good because the keyboard is fully detachable unlike my Asus CX3400 Flip (its heavy in tablet mode not this lenovo) – having access to my defined Chrome Web apps from device to device is again nice – you start to think about the grouping of your webapps. The screen is a nice 10.9 size again this is nice for portability
Speakers – Compared with my Google Pixel Chromebook , the Pixel wins hands down – nothing I’ve seen yet comes close to the sound of the Pixel. Compared to Asus Chromebook (which claims to have B&O speakers – I think they were having an ‘off’ day when they designed the Asus speakers)_ the Lenovo speakers are pretty close to the Asus which is amazing given the size of the Lenovo speaker grills. It has no base a such but is ok for watching Netflix on.
Speed – The device happily renders webapps nicely , runs ssh terminal sessions , vs-code for remote development editing, Keep stuff that you want to keep in your google drive and have links in your Linux partition to your google drive .e.g vscode workspaces etc
Camera – It has an 8MP Back camera and a 5MP Front camera – which is not great but it’s Ok for Teams, Slack and Telegram calls
So downsides:
– 1 external monitor only
Very Minor niggles
– Careful with the magnetic keyboard and back flip
– speaker sound
– 128GB diskspace
– 8MP back camera, 5MP front camera
Very positives:
– Chrome OS – Whats NOT to like about being able to wipe your machine and get it all back running in under and hour, including your Linux code environment.
– Portability
– Connectivity
– Tablet mode
– Speed
For what this is – it’s a buy in this 8GB Snapdragon 7c configuration.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant
This Chromebook is brilliant. I’ve used it more as a tablet so far to play games on, the play store is available on here and easy to use. Everything on the tablet is very easy to manoeuvre, especially if you’re already accustomed to using android systems, though even if not it shouldn’t take too long to get used to. The first start up you need to download a few updates and have a few restarts before you can get going, but they don’t take too long to do.
So far I’ve only used the tablet for some internet browsing and downloading and playing games. Everything has worked quickly, even turning on the tablet is very quick.
The pen comes with the 8gb RAM option, it is the first time I’ve used one of these so I can’t compare to others, but it does the job it’s supposed to do, it’s much more accurate than a simple stylus and I had fun using the handwriting app to have a play, watching it turn my writing into typed text. I use it a bit while playing some games, but can see it would be great for someone that creates art on their tablets.
The keyboard is very easy to attach, it has a strong magnet that snaps it into place and it works straight away, there’s no loading time or anything, just snap it on and off as and when needed. It works well and feels just like a normal small laptop.
The case is very sturdy, it too as magnetic so it snaps into place. I was concerned when reading at the time of purchase that the stand would wear out quite quickly with it being in use a lot but it’s definitely strong. It has hinges on it so it’s not just some bendy material that will wear out, so it’s made very well and I can see it lasting a long time. The case itself is also very smart looking. The only issue I could find is that you have to have the keyboard attached so that the screen has some protection. So if you are taking it out and only need the tablet, you will still need to take the keyboard with you. It’s only a small issue really as the keyboard isn’t adding a drastic amount of weight or anything, it’s more about having the option of taking it with you or not.
Overall I absolutely love this tablet, it’s built well, very sturdy accessories and definitely worth the money spent on it, great value product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Basic but useful
Very nice looking, sturdy tablet. Case and stand are good quality. The tablet itself is fairly basic but I expected that for the price. Great for Netflix and video calls and general every day use. I wouldn’t rely on it for heavy gaming or anything. The only issue I have is the volume, the sound is ridiculously low and I have been struggling to connect headphones to it but otherwise a handy little tablet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantasic battery, great keyboard
Took this to a big 5d conference. Taking notes was a breeze, and the keyboard very reposnsive. Battery life great- no issues with charge after a full days use. The touchscreen is good- and the display is super sharp- and bright. I really like how lightweight it is. it is fast to load, and the 8Gb RAM meant I had no issues of lag. Note it takes a USI2 stylus- a USI version1 will not work with it! Vey pleased with it. had looked at other makes- decider for this was the screen resolution and battery life. I think an 11″ screen fits the sweet spot for portability. Colleagues with larger laptops were searching for power sockets…. This slips in a bag easily and is ready for note taking in seconds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing
The tablet is very very nice, just as described and same as the photo. Run fast, I can use the office pack, outlook emails, manage everything from my tablet.
The keyboard is good, work fast, but you need a mouse or use the touch screen.
Battery life is good, i have used all day and still remain 12%.
I am very surprised by the clarity of the screen, colors, sound it is thin and light for my work. I honest recommend this tablet , compare to others I seen this tablet is very good quality and the price is good too.
