    Bigger screen than the duet

  • Jklaro on 14/01/2021 - 05:33

    What's the difference between Chromebook and a tablet with a keyboard.

    • Bigboomboom on 14/01/2021 - 07:37
      +3

      Chromebook run Chrome OS and Tablet runs Android/iOS. Chrome OS is less mature than Android but purpose built for big screen. Android on Tablet while run not as laggy is not really purpose built for big screen and still acts like a mobile phone OS.

      • Jklaro on 14/01/2021 - 08:06

        Doesn't Samsung have Dex mode turns it more like desktop layout.

        • shiny1 on 14/01/2021 - 08:13

          Tablet plus keyboard means you have to carry 2 things. This thing is slim and light.

          Dex mode means you have to have a screen and a Samsung device (with dex).

          If you are happy with either, then the choice is yours. This chrome book is a simple solution. I would recommend this to a colleague who needs a no nonsense work laptop for typing, or a student for doing work. They needn't need to other with the extra things like an addition keyboard or plugging things in.

          • Jklaro on 14/01/2021 - 09:03

            @shiny1: So pretty much for internet surfing word typing and maybe YouTube laptop.

            Not for gaming or apps.

            • Bigboomboom on 14/01/2021 - 09:21

              @Jklaro: If you want to view Streaming platforms other than Youtube though, any Samsung Tablet would be better due to Widevine L1. Lenovo don't have Widevine L1 on their chromebook and tablets.

            • shiny1 on 14/01/2021 - 10:58

              @Jklaro: Definitely not for gaming and your typical windows apps, as the operating system isn't compatible. For basic stuff like media consumption, internet browsing, working on online documents, this is perfect.

        • [Deactivated] on 14/01/2021 - 08:31

          Not quite the same, it is far more limited and fussy.
          Samsung tablet or phone with keyboard even with Dex mode generally only works at 1080p or lower for most USB-C cables and adaptors, and will only output to one screen.
          If you have a 4k screen (or often even with 2k) Dex means you will get a blurry low res experience, with dual screens you will be out of luck altogether.

    • [Deactivated] on 14/01/2021 - 13:46

      Unlike any android tablet I can think of, these chromebooks will receive regular updates until April 2026.

    this would be awesome if you could upgrade the memory and get rid of the emmc to ssd and install windows

    • Rojohe on 14/01/2021 - 05:59

      I take it you can't?

    • JerryB on 14/01/2021 - 06:10

      And double the storage and upgrade the processor.

        Then the price will get upgrade too :P

    • CyberMurning on 14/01/2021 - 06:52

      Description says ssd?

      • HiredGoon on 14/01/2021 - 08:59

        Technically, eMMC storage is SSD, as there's no moving parts.

    Got one of these from JB on black friday sales for this price (after jumping through gift card deal hoops)

    Very capable Chromebook

    • JAY13 on 14/01/2021 - 09:29

      Does it come with Fingerprint Scanner ? Thanks

    Duet is 15% off also - $312.80

    So this or duet?

    • SBOB on 14/01/2021 - 06:57
      +1

      This has a bigger screen, decent keyboard, fully foldable hinge so can be used as a big tablet style

      Duet is more of you want a smaller device. If you want a laptop, this is a much better choice.
      (It's also faster)

    • didaswiwaw on 14/01/2021 - 07:10

      Its for different usage I'd say. I've owned Lenovo yoga years ago which is similar in sizes like Flex 5, I never use the touchscreen and the tablet mode because of heavy weight and its huge sizes. On the other hand, having something small like duet would probably be very uncomfortable if you need to do lots of typing for hours.

    • go2home on 14/01/2021 - 07:16

      Duer using ARM processor, which will be better choice if you want play Android games as lots of Android apps doesn't work with intel CPU.

    • [Deactivated] on 14/01/2021 - 07:27
      +3

      It depends on your priorities.
      Flex 5 pros:
      Does not come apart, works like a laptop, can work on lap.
      More capable processor.
      Can work with multiple external monitors.

      Duet Pros:
      The Duet screen is much nicer, brighter and can use outdoors.
      More storage (128GB)
      Lighter, especially when using as a standalone tablet (450g).
      Many Android games play ok due to ARM processor

      • parker2004au on 14/01/2021 - 08:08

        Can work with multiple external monitors.

        Does it work with USB-C? I can't seem to find a reference to this - unless it's 'multimedia streaming'?

        The Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5 13 inch has two USB-C 3.2 (Gen 1) ports, a USB-A (Gen 1) port, and an audio jack. With the USB-C 3.2 (Gen 1) port, you can enjoy fast data transfer, multimedia streaming, and battery charging—all on a single port.

    • CyberMurning on 14/01/2021 - 07:46

      ok as i already have : 17" windows laptop, and samsung 6.8" android phone, i take duet (instead of samsung tablet again for example)
      and yes i kind of need something in between the sizes. thank you all, nice to meet you all at 7am

    • OneTonneRodeo on 14/01/2021 - 09:11

      For someone who works on the go, like on public transport where you're away from a solid workstation/table, I believe the Flex would be a better choice as the hinge for the screen is fixed in place, whereas the Duet requires some propping up behind the screen, which would be hard if working from your lap?

  • CyberMurning on 14/01/2021 - 08:07

    Officeworks for the i5/8GB/128 SSD variant looks like a good deal for $746

      Wonder if Amazon hasn't updated their pricing on the comparable model because of the fact it's 'temporarily out of stock'…could be worth watching, especially if the 15% comes into play

    • OneTonneRodeo on 14/01/2021 - 11:16
      +3

      As a follow up to my earlier comment….Amazon has now effectively price matched the next model up, $749…PLUS 15% discount = $636. Only thing is that it's temporarily out of stock, but I've placed my order for the i5 quad-core w/ 6mb cache /8GB RAM /128 SSD variant - seems a great value piece of gear. Also has 300 nits and 72% NTSC instead of 250 nits and 45% NTSC for the base model, one of the criticisms of the base model has been that the screen is considered 'dim'

      Link here: https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B08Q7HHLWV/ref=ppx_yo_d…

      • [Deactivated] on 14/01/2021 - 12:54

        You had me at 300 nits.
        Thanks - $636.35 is a great price, much better than OW (if only OW could price beat Amazon Prime it would come down to $604.53 …I may try them over the phone).
        Brighter/better screen (very disappointed with the base 250 screen when I saw one in store), 8GB, i5, 128GB storage and proper SSD are all bonus for me.
        I just want to confirm that these will get the better screen - how do you know? is there a review?
        The listing shows:
        "Display: 13.3" FHD (1920x1080) IPS 300nits Glossy, 72% NTSC, touch"

        Ordered!

      • manja on 14/01/2021 - 13:38

        Thank you. Ordered the i5. I think this deal deserves its own post.

        • OneTonneRodeo on 19/01/2021 - 10:47

          no update for you I'm guessing as yet?

      • drose1 on 19/01/2021 - 10:41

        thanks, but how did you order it if it was out of stock?

        • OneTonneRodeo on 19/01/2021 - 10:48

          They had it as available to order last week despite being 'temporarily out of stock' - still no updates re: timeline as yet anyhow.

    Thanks for the post OP. Bought this on boxing day for $497. Called Amazon and they have agreed to credit the difference as a promo gift certificate. Guess it pays to be regular on OZB !
    And agree with the posts above….i had a duet style laptop earlier and found that it was too awkward to use unless I was sitting on a desk (e.g. on the bed, etc.)…hence decided to go with the Flex rather than the Duet.

  • kman83 on 14/01/2021 - 10:32

    Got one. Couldn't resist.

  • Mr Shooty on 14/01/2021 - 11:16

    Was about to bite the bullet yesterday for $549. Glad I waited. Thanks OP!

  • sam buster on 14/01/2021 - 11:19

    Is there any likelihood of getting a high street store (Officeworks or JB Hifi) to match the Prime price?

    • [Deactivated] on 14/01/2021 - 13:38

      I just asked OW, they would only match the original price, not the "15% off" promise

      • sam buster on 14/01/2021 - 14:06

        Thanks, I suspected that might be the case. Saved me a wasted trip to Officeworks on the way home.

    What sort of security virus protection is there on Chrome. I see kaspersky may not be available?

    • Switchblade88 on 15/01/2021 - 00:18

      Being a Chromebook, it's basically immune to any modern viruses that are a risk on windows and Macs.

      Your best protection is an adblocker like uBlock Origin, which is an extension thar works on any windows, Mac or Chromebook that runs Chrome.

  • Bigredkeg on 14/01/2021 - 14:21

    This is good for taking notes and stuff at uni? Typing on pdfs etc.

    Good as a replacement laptop? Currently have Acer aspire e15. It's a celeron and feels slowww. Just for internet browsing some work on Microsoft office etc. If not any other recommendations?
