Duet pro

Is something to take note of, especially since the keyboards can add some bulk on convertibles when used in tablet mode. Both tablets have similar weights, if you don't include the detachable keyboard when measuring. The Duet 5 is a bit heavier when both keyboard cases are attached.As mentioned in the specs table above, the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 is a slim tablet that has a 13.3 inch OLED display offering 400 nits of brightness. It’s a Full HD panel, or 1920 x 1080 resolution, and supports 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut.The Duet 5 has a similar design language to the Apple iPad Pro, which should be considered a compliment in the tablet space. You get the rounded display corners with harder edges that feel good on your hand. Given the large screen size, this won’t be the lightest tablet around. Even without the keyboard and kickstand attached, it weighs 1.5 pounds.The HP Chromebook x2 11 is also made from an aluminum alloy. Sliding on the keyboard case, you get a fabric texture for grip when carrying around the Duet 5, as well as a similar experience on the Chromebook x2 11. There's no doubt these are both premium Chrome tablets, something you would feel comfortable taking to work and using at home for media.Both of these tablets also support pen input. The HP Chromebook x2 11 and Lenovo Chromebook Duet both support the USI pen standard. HP actually includes the USI pen with the Chromebook x2 11, which attaches to the tablet magnetically. The USI pen for the Duet 5 is unfortunately an optional accessory. You can buy a USI pen from Lenovo themselves or as a third-party option from Amazon.One key difference worth noting is the lack of biometric security on the Duet 5. This is somewhat expected at the $429 price point, but still a bit disappointing. The HP Chromebook x2 11 thankfully does feature a fingerprint scanner. This is refreshing to see as many high-end Chromebooks leave off biometric security options that improve user experience.As for the displays, it's tough to call a true winner.

5 has a superb color gamut. It has full sRGB and DCI P3 coverage, as well as near-full Adobe RGB coverage. Its wide coverage does make this device suitable for color-critical work like photo editing; however, whether the CPU and GPU can handle such a demanding workload is another matter altogether. Its Rec. 2020 coverage is great, even better than the Apple MacBook Pro 16 (2019)'s, but as mentioned earlier, the Duet 5 can't play any content in HDR. Flicker-Free No Flicker Frequency > 1000Hz Flicker Active Below 0% The Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5's OLED panel isn't flicker-free, but the flicker frequency is extremely high and isn't visible to most people. Interface Typing Quality Numpad No Backlighting No Operating Force 72 gf Actuation Force 37 gf Pre-Travel 0.93 mm Total Travel 1.58 mm The Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5 has a disappointing keyboard. Even though it's larger than the Lenovo Chromebook Duet (2020), it still feels cramped compared to most 13 inch laptops. The layout is fairly standard, though, so it shouldn't take long for most people to get used to typing on it. The plastic keycaps feel okay, and there's a good amount of travel and tactility. However, some people might find it tiring to type on for extended periods because it requires a fair amount of force to actuate the keys. Tracking Quality Size 9.8 in² (63.4 cm²) Material Plastic Dedicated Buttons 1 The Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5's touchpad is sub-par. It's bigger than the Lenovo Chromebook Duet (2020)'s but still on the small side. The click mechanism doesn't feel satisfying, and you can only click near the bottom of the touchpad. Palm rejection is okay and isn't a problem for the most part. However, it doesn't always register two-finger clicks (right-click), and any action over long distances, like

Heavy for a tablet. There' no doubt about that. But 2-in-1 convertibles aren't meant to be held in one hand like an iPad. What they make up for in portability though, they make up for in being proper laptops -- only with a bit more adaptability.

Since it's a Chromebook, storage space really isn't a focus, but it's nice to see 64GB for those who need it for Android apps and Linux desktop software. Ports are limited to two USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 connections, one of which is used to charge the tablet.While it's nice that the keypad includes a small touchpad for those who want it, it's still a little cramped for our taste. However, we rarely see similar specs made available at such a low price (and you can always choose a different keypad if you want to). Battery life is excellent at 11.5 hours for web browsing and 16 hours for video.If you're looking for more like this, we've also gathered a list of the best Chromebooks.
