Our review only applies to variants with a model number starting with '82QS'. Note: Lenovo refers to this laptop as the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5 Chromebook on their Product Specifications Reference page. Only the memory and storage are configurable you can see the available options in the table below. We tested the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 (model 82QS001DUS) with a Qualcomm Snapdragon SC7180 SoC, Qualcomm Adreno 618 integrated graphics, 4GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. 4GB of RAM is enough if you only perform light tasks like media consumption and web browsing, but if you tend to have many tabs or applications running simultaneously, it's best to get 8GB for the extra headroom.

Our Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon SC7180 SoC, Qualcomm Adreno 618 integrated graphics, 4GB of memory, and 64GB of storage. Its ARM-based Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC (System on a Chip) can handle simple tasks like web browsing and text formatting however, it isn't ideal for heavy workloads like photo or video editing. Also, it only has two USB-C ports and no 3.5mm headphone jack. Unfortunately, the keyboard feels cramped, and the touchpad doesn't track all that well. The webcam's video quality is excellent, though, and the microphone sounds loud and clear with only a bit of static in the background. The speakers get reasonably loud, but they lack bass and sound slightly unnatural.

Its 13.3 inch screen is sharp and colorful, and like all OLEDs, it displays deep, inky blacks. It's thin and lightweight, making it easy to carry around, and its battery lasts easily over ten hours of light productivity and seven hours of video playback. The Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 (2021) is a 2-in-1 convertible laptop with a detachable keyboard and a kickstand built into the back cover.
