Maybe there would be a resurgence, but I just do not see it. In comparison to Samsung that has really done tremendous work on Android both in tablets and in cell phones, Google's efforts appear underwhelming. I am not really sure what Google is doing here. ![]() ![]() Linux support remains poor (whoever is using Chromebooks to run Linux programs is a glutton for punishment). Overall, in my estimation, from Chrome 68 to Chrome 83, the changes have been minimal. But they are the exception, not the rule. I have also to give congratulations to a few Android app developers that have adjusted their products to work well in ChromeOS, such as AquaMail. Certain major apps worked OK (mostly streaming solutions), so Duet is possibly a good media consumption devise. But these are no new problems with Chromebooks. Some, such as my investment bank's mobile app failed to install, the app for controlling my router failed to operate, various others could not utilize the screen as it was.and so on. Only about 50% of what I installed worked well. I had lousy experience with many Android apps with the Duet. Outside the browser, it depends on the app. Obviously, if pen input is not desired, then one would need to concentrate on other qualities of the Duet.įor these, I have to say that as long as one is in Chrome (the browser), the new gesture-based interface works well. Both the Samsung Tab S tablets (even old ones) and the iPads would be far preferable. Thus, for those who want to use the pen input, not for novelty but for real work, (note keeping, drafting), I would certainly advise them to look somewhere else for this capability. After the failure of its tablet, I think that it gave up on this and although Lenovo did a good job hardware and price wise, it just cannot overcome the limitations of the OS. Thus, the lag with the pen is inherent in the Chrome OS and since my experience spans the period of 2 years, I just do not think that Google is serious in making pens work seamlessly with Chromebooks. I had the same problem with other Chromebooks that had faster processors. I do not think that the problem is caused by the processor capabilities of the Duet. ![]() There is distinct lag in most operations making it a poor choice for a pen tablet. The answer is that it is "barely passable". I have finally got my hands on the HP active USI stylus and I have been able to check its operability with the Duet. A week or so ago, I posted here my personal experience with the IdeaPad Duet, a new ChromeOS tablet.
