National Donut Day originally started as a way to honor Salvation Army volunteers who served donuts to soldiers in WWI.

I looked into this thing at that time 2, but then bought a lenovo flex chromebook android laptop the small 1 for 280 euro I think ! I only use android apps, love chromebook 4 real
But this thing the small memory(64GB?) was also sometimes 200 in discount! Must be a pretty good deal , a laptop especially with metal can be pretty heavy.
Still in the store it looked like a pretty neat device!

I’ve been waiting for this update ever since I saw the first one some 6 months ago. I almost grabbed one for $220 but I’m glad I decided to wait. Looking forward to its official launch and reviews. I’d happily pick it over an iPad.

  The X2 11 and Duet 5 are larger devices, more laptop replacements.

Why is the keyboard still flat though? All these devices have a raised keyboard for a reason.

Expect I’ll get this. Love my Duet but the keyboard is very poor. Hopefully they’ve increased the speaker volume too. These aren’t ideal for your only pc but are perfect as a travel device.

Needs to be under 400 or its competing with the Duet 5 and HP X2 11. Those are 500 but most at the 400 point would get the better device.

Most likely will pick one of these up. Sounds like a better option for my use case than the iPad Mini I have been saving for
