What are /r/LenovoDuet's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I've been using a VAVA USB C Hub 7 in 1 but it slow charges the Duet. I was trying to find it on Amazon but seems they've taken down that product. Anyways when I was looking for one, this Anker hub was my second option, saw some people in here that love it too

-Pen holder band to hold your USI pen and wrap your Duet closed when not in use.

-A USB type C hub that has at least two USB ports, HDMI out, and a USB C port that you can plug your charger into.

-18w USB C charger. The Duet does have support for quick chargring. Just not QC 3.0. Upgrading to at least a 18w from the supplied 10w will cut down charging time.

the Lenovo stylus works well. Got mine last week.

I also picked this up on amazon to keep it in. works well

I got one before Christmas. Unfortunately, it stopped working the same day. Five weeks and five calls later and I am still waiting for them to collect it so I can get a refund.

While it was working (around 6 hours) it was great. Very responsive and light to use. However, due to their customer service, I would be very reluctant to buy any more Lenovo consumer products.

I bought this as a replacement https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08KHLD18W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's not as light to use as the Lenovo but so far it hasn't skipped a beat and it is also rechargeable and if you have any problems with it Amazon's customer service is far better.

Might be cheaper to buy this one from Amazon Canada.

Penoval with the eraser is my current favorite.

Those hubs are overkill. The Duet doesn't do HDMI properly over that port, so you're probably not going to get display out like you'd prefer. I got this one, passes through charge and give a headphone jack. But then I got this one and was way happier.

The one we got is similar to the one you have I think. My son uses his without the keyboard mostly, so I really wanted the corners to have a bit more protection. We then slip it into a zip up pouch.

I will watch for other suggestions too, I love how sleek it is but always worry I am going to drop it.

This one fits it pretty well. I've been using it nearly daily for over a year and it still looks/works great.

Are you familiar with this 10.5" Asus chrome book?

ASUS Chromebook Detachable CM3, 10.5" Touchscreen WUXGA 16:10 Display, MediaTek 8183 Processor 64GB Storage, 4GB RAM, Garaged USI Stylus, Chrome OS, Aluminum, Mineral Gray, CM3000DVA-DS44T-S https://www.amazon.com/dp/B094K28536/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_E0VPSJYZA9QZK0YSBSKM?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

It's specs loom slightly better than the duet, and it has a garaged stylus.

Just tried it with Duet Desktop (https://www.duetdisplay.com/). I can use the duet as an extra monitor, but for me to use it with a stylus I need to use duet pro, which looks to be $29.99/year.

Just started a 1 week trial

it works but it's laggy. It may work better with a USB cable instead of over the network. I'll try that later

It does not magnetically attach to the Duet.l use it with this case. https://www.amazon.com/Fintie-Lenovo-Chromebook-Tablet-CT-X636/dp/B0982NVKM5/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=duet+chromebook+case&qid=1632442367&sr=8-3

From your list ...

I like my capacitive $16 ...

Meko Stylus

... as a much improved finger.

... turning on this flag might help

chrome://flags/#enable-palm-suppression

... and if necessary this palm rejection glove will help.

If still available do you have these palm rejection flags especially ...

 

chrome://flags/#enable-palm-suppression

 

turned on?

Found this: https://www.amazon.com/WAVLINK-Universal-2xDisplayPort-Ultrabook-Efficient/dp/B082PFZVZ7/ref=sr_1_5?crid=15UD72C2812XQ&dchild=1&keywords=usb-c+displaylink+docking+station&qid=1628472888&sprefix=USB-C+displaylink%2Caps%2C638&sr=8-5

not cheap but says Chrome OS, DisplayLink, USB-C in, PD port and many others.

is this legit it is the best seller i know it is not usi but is it worth it

I have a USI pen. For me it is good, but not as good as the Surface Pen on an Surface Pro. It has a touch more delay and doesn't feel as "paperish". I think it depends on what sort of art you are planning on doing. If you are going to be using layers and large artworks, you might find the CPU and RAM a little limiting.

Ok the other hand, there are some fairly good Android apps for sketching that work quite well on the Duet such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tayasui.sketches, which was free for me as a Chromebook perk.

I bought one of these and am happy with it. I have had several similar ones for past tablets and have been happy with them all.

I recommend SRware Iron browser as it lean, mean and protects your privacy better than the ones you mentioned above (except possibly Firefox but I don't know). It has worked quite well for me on the Duet.

I've been loving mine so far, and it is my first ChromeOS device. For everything web based I've used it has been perfect, solid on Android apps though I haven't tried any video conferencing yet, and decent on Linux apps. My biggest restriction as a linux nerd has been the lack of my usual apps running on ARM but I think that will improve with time. The only additional accessory you might want is a USB-C hub so you have standard USB ports (I got this - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QXMNF1X/) it allows charging while in use and gives you an HDMI out (works fine) if you ever want to connect an external monitor.

Saw a pointer to this one...

Can't find the reddit ref but the poster says it will fit with a bit of cutting.
