    its a really nice laptop. dont be fooled by its i3. this is 12th generation. i3 has 6 cores with a speed around 4.4 ghz most of the time. The memory is 8gb, which is enough for the task to be performed for thiss machine. Display is really nice shiny 2k. Very portable. I upgraded the ssd myself and put a 512gb M.2, very easy to upgrade.

    It’s really nice for school and work when traveling. It is small, lightweight, and the detachable Bluetooth keyboard is a nice feature. However, this model makes it hard to find a stylus that is compatible. Every website tells you something different and the Lenovo website makes you jump through several hoops to find what stylus is compatible. But other than that, it has a long battery life and has an easy set up process

    Best tablet I ever owned.

    It is an exceptional device. The hinge has impressive quality design and the magnesium chassis is robust. The display is simply stunning! It is the best looking LCD I've ever had on a mobile device. The rounded display corners really match Windows 11 and it makes it look so premium. The included keyboard is way better than other $200-$300 accessories sold separately for competing products because it doubles as a wireless Bluetooth keyboard when detached. Everything is included here! This is so much better than competing Samsung and Apple tablets for many reasons. First, Windows 11 works great on a tablet. It has smooth gestures and a great software keyboard. You don't give up any versatility of a desktop computer, but it is handheld. Use any desktop browser you want and it works great. Plus this device will receive software updates from Microsoft basically forever. Second, there are two USB C ports for charging and accessories and external displays. Most tablets have one. You can use this docked as a desktop computer no problem and use the wireless keyboard and trackpad. Third, Lenovo publishes guides for disassembly and an M.2 SSD upgrade is fully possible without destroying display adhesive or other complex processes. This is the best laptop and tablet PC I've ever owned. Thanks Lenovo!

    For the price I paid for it - less than $300, open boxed - this is an amazingly great computer. My only criticism of it is the small SSD size (128 gbs), but I can definitely live with that given that most of my work is saved to a google drive anyway. But for what I want and need for it to do, the computer is perfect, especially the ability to use it as a tablet when I need a tablet and a laptop for more focused productivity. And I particularly like the fact that the keyboard is bluetooth connectable to the tablet. The only thing I prefer from the Surface Pro design is that their keyboard is angled and the Duet's isn't. I find that typing on an angled keyboard is much more comfortable and much more accurate than typing on a flat keyboard.

    I genuinely don’t recommend it. I bought it and had to exchange it for an iPad. Battery life is terrible and it’s not compatible with compatible stylus pen. I literally had to call Lenovo support to make sure which Lenovo’s stylus pen was compatible since they have so many. If you’re wondering you need to get the Active pen 2. The design is really cool because you can remove the keyboard, and it’d wirelessly connect to the tablet. On top of that it has face recognition. I think it’s a great laptop for high school students but it really depends on your needs.

    I must be honest: I didn’t know much about Lenovo as ideapad, but I am been pleasantly surprised. Easy, great graphics, and awesome audio. Light to carry, and fast to start whenever I have to work with it. I can use Photoshop in it, and I am so glad doesn’t crush.

    Excellent Widows Tablet, Faulty Screen

    My wife bought this because the price, specs, and screen quality were just what she wanted. All she needed was a basic workstation with a nice touchscreen, and this does everything she needs. The screen is beautiful. The kickstand is useful. The included keyboard is comfortable. Unfortunately, about two months after buying it, the display stopped working. it shows the BIOS loading screen, but once it got to the Windows 11 login screen, the screen went black. We were able to get into Windows by hooking up an external display to it, so the rest of the PC is still functional, but the screen appears to be faulty. I ran through several troubleshooting tasks, but to no avail. It is still under warranty, so hopefully that route will prove fruitful. It's a shame about the display, because it is a really nice device otherwise, especially for the price.

    I was contemplating the Surface Go 3 and this product. The display on the Lenovo is AMAZING! Not only is it larger, the resolution is stunning. Battery life is decent, depending on what you are comparing it to. Fun fact: It also will dock and functions with 3 screens plus the actual tablet screen. The keyboard is kind of finicky when you physically detach it and it switches over to bluetooth, but once it connects you are good to go.

    Runs great for what it is. Looks and feels great to handle. Only complaint is that it does not work on your lap unless you have it in tablet mode. It has to sit on a flat desk to function with the keyboard attached.

    I like this tablet alot but there are very important things you need to understand about it before you pull thr trigger. First off, I bought this on sale for around 500 open box so for me this was an excellent value when comparing to the next best thing = A surface pro. This processor in this unit performs very well for a tablet and its even capable of light gaming and emulation (wiiu, ps2, some switch games) The IGPU in this unit has aroind 1 TFLOP of power at 15tdp meaning it slightly less powerful than an original xbox one/ps4, but take that statistics with a grain of salt. WHAT YOU NEED TO KEEP IN MIND: The biggest downfall to this unit is NO EXPANDABLE STORAGE. This sucks and was almost enough for me to return it, 128gb is not enough storage for windows 11 (at least for my use case) However I found a solution and i do not recommend it unless you are very tech savy. If you open up this unit you are able to upgrade the ssd inside of it BUT its very risky and not nearly as easy to do than a laptop. You literally have to open it up from the screen. And there is no info on this on the internet. Which brings me to my last issue. This device is pretty much non-existent anywhere else. I can hardly find YouTube videos review it
