Pros and Cons

Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5i

Strengths

It's a great value for you consumers out there who want a two-in-one who want some nice versatile features like that Bluetooth keyboard.
I really like this device. I think it's more than fast enough for your average person. I think it's great for a lot of office work out there and I think it even has enough power to do a little more intense stuff.
The performance at least with the I3 model is very good for your money and if you compare it out there even with the 11th gen I5 model this will outperform it or it will go neck and neck with that service for a weight that has an i5 11 Shin processor.
This does not have a deal breaker. The Surface Pro lineup is great but this goes neck and neck. I think it does very very well.
It's terrific for students who just need to do a lot of office work, it has plenty of storage for stuff like that and you could always plug in an external SSD if you need a little bit of extra storage
The 2.5K display is terrific!
This will outperform the 11th gen I5 model service

Weaknesses

Graphics capabilities aren't terrific on it.
Storage is a little bit limiting if you do get the 128 gigabyte model.
I think the webcam is not very good
It doesn't have a fingerprint sensor and the webcam and face unlock it are nothing to ride home about
The SSD is not super easy to take out, so that's one thing that's a little difficult
It could use a 120Hz screen.
Only available in lower specs in the US

Lenovo Chromebook Plus

Strengths

This is a massive package when it comes to, uh, uh, Chromebooks and and Chromebook plus. And Google talked about all sorts of different features.
The screen looks awesome. This trackpad feels great. The keyboard is back lit as well. You've got all the extra function keys that um, you know, we saw last year with the new Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus.
For 100 bucks more, if that storage discrepancy is there, you're talking about double the storage, four extra gigs of RAM, and a touchcreen for 100 bucks. And so, uh, at 650 or 750, this is a a massive package when it comes to, uh, uh, Chromebooks and and Chromebook plus.
I like everything I'm seeing, uh, about this Chromebook right now. Man, that looks great. U, again, I'm really hungry. So, that looks that looks really good.
To see how some of the uh more intensive like Android games and Android applications run on a native ARM processor like this. To see how a device like this can get by with 17 hours and no fans and more power than we've ever had on another Chromebook.

Weaknesses

The plain exterior might kind of fool you into thinking that this is just, you know, an average other Chromebook.
There's a possibility of storage discrepancy between the two variants (650 and 750) with potentially less storage in the lower-end model.
We don't know how the device will perform in day-to-day use or with more intensive tasks like Android games and applications.
The review doesn't provide detailed information about the device's performance, battery life, or overall user experience.
There is no clear mention of any drawbacks or limitations of the device beyond the potential storage discrepancy.
