The Microsoft Surface Go 3 (Intel Core i3-10100Y, 8GB RAM) earned a lesser score of 1,571 in the same test, for example, as did its predecessor the Surface Go 2 (Core m3-8100Y CPU, 8GB RAM) with its score of 1,617.
The original Lenovo Duet Chromebook we reviewed in 2020 didn't even run Geekbench 5, but if it had it would have been outperformed by the new Duet 3. When you compare it against the performance of its predecessor or similarly-equipped tablets, the Duet 3 looks good by comparison. That's low compared to most laptops, but this is a Chromebook running on a Snapdragon SoC, not a pricey ultraportable packing the latest Intel or AMD CPUs. When we put it to the test in the Geekbench 5.4 multi-core CPU benchmark, the Duet 3 earned a score of 1,732. I was able to open 15 tabs in Chrome and stream music, watch videos on the Amazon Prime Video app, and play a game downloaded from the Google Play Store with no meaningful slowdown. The only two things that doesn't work out of the box are automatic screen rotation (wich I don't care) and the keyboard in standalone bluetooth mode (I think I will find the fix).In my time with the Duet 3 I found it to be pretty snappy for a Chromebook, with almost no slowdown when launching and switching between apps. Paired with my pCloud file storage is as powerful solutions as it gets. Reading papers, PDF annotation with the stylus, LaTeX writing, etc. I'm using it for my PhD, no less, though I have a very powerful laptop the Duet is being used the most. With the two USB-C ports allowing an external display is a speedy machine. The keyboard and trackpad are very good too. Even has a MicroSD slot wich I plan to use. the thing flies and it's a dream come true, for a fraction price of the cost of other tablets without those perks included. I installed Ubuntu 20.04 and all worked out of the box: touchscreen, stylus, wifi, bluetooth, both front and rear cameras. It is the N5030 version (4 cores) with 8GB of RAM and 128GB eMMC (very good speed!), keyboard and stylus. I purchased a Lenovo Ideapad Duet 3 version 10IGL5 and maybe it's the best purchase I've ever made, the perfect linux tablet I always wanted.
