[Lenovo Canada] Lenovo Chromebook Duet (10.1") 2 in 1, $354.58 taxes in after coupon and cash back

Deal Link:: https://www.lenovo.com/ca/en/laptops/le ... ZICZCTCT1X
Retailer:: Lenovo Canada

Not an Amazon Prime deal but I think it's still pretty good.

The chrome book is 12% off regular price right now

Use eCoupon at checkout: EXTRAFIVE , -$18.25
Cashback with Ratuken is 10%

Total was $389.25 - $34.67 (cashback) = $354.58

Enjoy

I think this is the same one they had clearance at Staples for $300.
$350 seems a good price anyway.

Thank you

The 128gb version is at BB for $399 regular price ... which I don't see on Lenovo's site anywhere, only the 64gb version. Seems like a very well reviewed 2-1 Chromebook/tablet. Not sure if there are cash backs available.

64mb emmc in late 2020 should be considered a serious crime against tech community.

Besides, this french keyboard is the worst of the worst.

I hope Lenovo is coming up with a 12’ version of duet with improved keyboard.

I have it and very happy with it. Although I think 64gb are not going to be enough for most users.

Most apps and file are stored on the cloud, I can live with that

But The bilingual kb is definitely bad to type on

Yup emmc is becoming the non HD laptop screen. Friends don't let friends buy emmc.

I hesitated, then it sold out instantly.

I hesitated because HDMI out is only 1080p 30hz.....which is a step backwards.

Lenovo inflated their regular price to $414, but 12% off on sale now and with 10% cashback with extra 5 brings it closer to Staples' last sale.

It's a 3:2 ratio so it's actually easier to read and browse than a wider aspect ratio, which is only good for movies/youtube.

So I pulled the trigger and ordered. My Chromebook showed some signs of choking (random shut offs) and it being my primary computing device, it served me while for $189 for the past 4 years lol.

Thanks. So is the 10.1" measured diagonally across the screen. I was looking for the C330 that has 16:9 aspect ratio and is 11.6". I bought one during last black friday for about $350. Now the price is stuck in the five hundreds

Yes I paid $289.99 for it back in Aug.

This deal is only slightly better than the current price at Staples.

I don't mind the French keyboard that much honestly. This little guy is more of a tablet with a keyboard. I wouldn't work on it in general.

16:9 you end up scrolling up and down a lot, especially if your resolution is the barf 1366*768. The resolution is acceptable-ish...for 2016-2018 standards but it's just scrolling a ton. LIke on RFD, each scroll is one post.

Thanks op - they have a $50 discount today - it's going for $364 and change before discounts.

Managed to get your EXTRAFIVE and Teacher discount (another ~$17+) to bring it down to $372.22 all in minus the Rakuten 10% cashback (so either -$32.94 or -$37.22 depending on whether or not they give the 10% back before or after tax). Pretty decent considering I couldn't even buy this a few weeks ago. Final price I should pay is ~ $335-$340, so pretty much the same price as Staples clearance deal.

I too was highly conflicted but my current chromebook gave me a sign by shutting off suddenly. Mine's arriving Tuesday.

I doubt there's any more deals, bottom would be $299 at best. Chromebooks are like gold now from covid lockdown, it's highly reviewed as best value under $400.

If you can wait, there's ARM based Chromebooks coming out shortly: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/acer- ... pdragon-7c

It won't be under $400 but it looks really interesting.
