This Chromebook is a quick, sleek and versatile piece of kit. It boots up rapidly, and the detachable keyboard – thanks to a five-point magnet design – is a handy aspect that keeps the duet as compact as possible. The fabric cover fits nicely, protecting or propping up the screen while also looking the part.
The software is streamlined on Chrome OS, so it depends on what you’re using your laptop for, but it would be more than enough for most activities, from word processing to presentation writing to art projects. The sound is surprisingly well-rounded for a laptop at this price point, and while memory isn’t great, Google drive ensures that this isn’t a problem. Overall, the ideapad duet is great value for its specs, it looks much more expensive than it actually is, and is a great centrepiece or addition to anyone’s laptop roster.
