Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5 GEN6 13
TabletProduct Gallery
Product Overview
Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5 GEN6 is a 13.3-inch 2-in-1 Chromebook laptop powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 7c Gen2 chipset. It is the first detachable Chromebook in the world to feature an OLED display, which covers 100% of DCI-P3 color space.
While the IdeaPad Duet 5 is slotted beneath the Yoga Duet 7 series, being down in power and lesser in features, the OLED display plus a quad speaker setup make the Duet 5 perhaps a more focused multimedia machine. This point is reinforced by Lenovo's choice to go with a 16:9 aspect ratio and a thin and light chassis.
I/O-wise, the IdeaPad Duet 5 is somewhat limited, though perhaps unsurprisingly so. It comes with just two USB-C ports, whose thinner profiles are what Lenovo is able to fit to the Duet 5's chassis.
A strong point of this 2-in-1 Chromebook is the Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 mobile platform, which opens the door to multitasking with a large range of mobile apps and games. Thanks to Chrome OS, it also has good integration with Google's own services.

Reviewer score 61% (normalized by Neofiliac)The IdeaPad Duet 5 Chromebook has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 chip. It's efficient enough to enable a full day of use on a single charge. The 13.3-inch OLED display is larger than the biggest iPad Pro and uses better tech than the iPad Air. The 8MP rear camera is awful.
Pros
- Gorgeous, vivid OLED display
- Excellent battery life
- Excellent performance
Cons
- Poor keyboard
- No USB Type-C port

Reviewer score 68% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5 Chromebook is a great value in our $499 Best Buy configuration. The keyboard has a flat, "tappy" typing feel, not as comfortable as a true laptop keyboard. The Galaxy Chromebook 2 performed miserably in Geekbench but otherwise the two performance benchmarks told the same story.
Pros
- Sleek design
- Bright OLED display
- Stylus included
- USB Type-C port
Cons
- Lackluster battery life
- No audio jack

Reviewer score 67% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Duet 5 has a brilliant OLED panel that makes every pixel pop with amazing contrast and color. The new Snapdragon SC7180 is a big improvement over the MediaTek chip on the original. The keyboard and trackpad are notably better on this model. The larger 13-inch screen and tiny bezels make it difficult to hold comfortably.
Pros
- Gorgeous OLED screen
- Excellent battery life
- Excellent performance
Cons
- Lackluster keyboard
- Thick bezels

Reviewer score 68% (normalized by Neofiliac)Last year's Duet Chromebook was a fantastic value for the price. The Duet 5 Chromebook is more expensive, starting at $429 ($499 as tested), and AU$799 in Australia. The OLED display alone more than justifies the increase in price. Even when bumping up to the 8GB RAM configuration for $499, you still get a 1080p OLED display for under $500.
Pros
- Gorgeous OLED display
- Great battery life
- Great performance
Cons
- Keyboard is a bit flimsy
- Keyboard isn’t backlit
