CES 2022 is squarely in the rearview mirror and we have some exciting new Chromebooks to look forward to in the coming months. That said, the current class of Chrome OS devices still offers a wide range of features and form factors to fit just about any price range or use case. Among them, Lenovo’s […]

We may see a smaller, true successor to the Lenovo Chromebook Duet after all
When Lenovo launched the original Chromebook Duet, it was a bit of a revelation in the space. No, tablets with detaching keyboards weren’t new at that point and they weren’t even new to the Chrome OS ecosystem, but the Duet arrived with something different. It was well-made, but inexpensive. The keyboard and kickstand came in […]
Continue ReadingNo, the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 is not discontinued
For reasons unknown to us, Lenovo tends to do this very strange thing with items on their website. When a device they sell goes out of stock (this happens quite often), the item gets marked on their website as discontinued. In reality, this generally just means Lenovo isn’t in possession of any of these devices […]
Continue ReadingLenovo Chromebook Duet 5 review: my favorite Chrome OS tablet yet
Here’s the thing: I’ve been pretty harsh on Chromebook tablets over the years. From the early attempts like Acer’s Chromebook Tab 10 to the swing-and-a-miss that was the Pixel Slate to the latest HP Chromebook x2 11, I’ve not found a tablet running Chrome OS at this point that I’ve loved using. But this new […]

Robby and Joe just wrapped up filming the full review of the Snapdragon-powered Lenovo Chromebook Duet. I’ll do them a solid and forgo any spoilers while we wait for Joe to finish his editing magic but I will say, this is the first time that Robby has ever walked away from a Chrome OS tablet […]
Continue ReadingThe HP Chromebook x2 11 tablet hits an all-time low at $349
As I anticipated, the end of Black Friday and Cyber Monday has unearthed new Chromebook deals that can actually save you more money than the “exclusive” savings offered by retailers last week. This morning, HP’s premium Chrome OS tablet, the Chromebook x2 11, has dropped to its lowest price ever and you can now get […]
Continue ReadingPSA: Keep your Chromebook in a case or this might happen to you
This weekend, I did something to my Chromebook that I’ve never done before. I dropped it on the concrete. It was a tiny fall, mind you, but the end result was no less catastrophic. I was riding to a Thanksgiving weekend dinner, watching some football and as the game wrapped up, I was a bit […]
Continue ReadingTake $220 off the 128GB HP Chromebook x2 11 detachable
This morning, one of our fine Patrons asked if anyone had seen the 128GB version of HP’s Snapdragon-powered Chromebook x2 11 tablets actually for sale and available. I immediately responded, “I’ve not seen it anywhere” which also prompted me to take a look around and see if, perhaps, it was listed somewhere. Best Buy currently […]

If you’re in the market for a “cheap” Chromebook, there’s never been a better time to buy. Right now, you can head over to Best Buy and find more than a dozen devices that will run you less than $200. That said, be mindful of what you’re buying. It’s easy to get duped into buying […]
Continue ReadingPUBG New State is here and runs like butter on the new Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5
PUBG New State – the new game by the original creators of the battle royale genre – is finally upon us. With a fantastic pre-launch campaign, tons of teasers, and a global launch under their belt, Krafton has delivered a real gem in PUBG New State. I may or may not have stayed up far […]
Continue ReadingThe Chrome OS virtual keyboard is joining the dark side, adding Linux app support, and more
The Chrome OS virtual keyboard – the on-screen typing experience – has undergone plenty of changes for the better over the past year. In Chrome 85, it got a major facelift featuring key borders (love it or hate it) and even became resizable. While we knew it was going to receive light and dark mode […]
Continue ReadingYou can score the Duet 5 Chromebook tablet from Lenovo for under $400
The Lenovo Duet 5 Chromebook stands to be the best thing going in the Chrome OS tablet space at the moment. With the HP Chromebook x2 11 as its only competition, the 13.3″ OLED tablet come sporting the second generation Snapdragon 7c SoC has, in our opinion, already taken a firm lead over HP’s smaller, […]
Continue Reading$200 off makes the HP Chromebook x2 a Chrome OS tablet worth buying
The Chrome OS tablet market is finally starting to see some signs of life and we now have not one but two formidable Snapdragon-powered devices at our disposal. The latest is the OLED-toting Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 that Robby just unboxed but HP’s Chromebook x2 11 is currently on offer and it’s one heck of […]
Continue ReadingLenovo Chromebook Duet 5 unboxing and hands-on first impressions [VIDEO]
Today, we have a pretty special unboxing to do with the brand-new Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5. This device was made official back in September, but just arrived in retail locations in mid-October. Lenovo was nice enough to send one over and, as we do around here, we opened it up all on camera. There are […]
Continue Reading[UPDATED: In Stock] You can now buy the Snapdragon-powered Lenovo Duet 5 Chromebook
Update: I’m not sure if this is a result of the popularity of this device or perhaps Best Buy listed it early but the Duet 5 is now showing as “sold out.” We will update when the listing goes live again. Update #2: It appears that the Lenovo Duet 5 Chromebook is once again available […]
