I've had a really bad experience so far with the Lenovo Duet.

When using as a tablet, the rotation sensor routinely does nothing, so you have to manually go into settings and change the rotation. Occasionally it'll work a bit, but 9/10 I have to go into settings to change the orientation.
I prefer doing stuff in a browser instead of via apps so that adblock works (like youtube). Firefox is basically unusable. Chrome works but is still quite slow.
Tapping anywhere near the left side for buttons/links/whatever brings up the back button so sometimes it's almost impossible to hit stuff. Similarly, in general the touchscreen just feels bad/inaccurate/unresponsive. Not sure why that would be. I haven't tried a pen on it yet.

I'd say if you really value the convertible aspect and will use the keyboard a lot maybe it's a good value. If you really want a good tablet experience, I wouldn't suggest it. I'd just go for a new samsung whatever if you want android. My wife's Galaxy Tab S6 is a much better experience, and is consistent with android phones instead of everything being just different enough to be unintuitive like with Chrome OS.

Pixel Tablet must be the best way to go to get Firefox w/ real ublock origin, right? Even though it's firefox mobile. None of it ever worked very well on Chrome OS, and it was a dog on Crostini, although my chrome os machine was pretty slow.
