CAN’T decide between a laptop and a tablet? Enjoy the qualities and convenience of both with a 2-1 Chromebook.

Currys has dropped the price of the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5 Chromebook from £549 to £379, and customers are raving about its performance.

This deal is perfect for tech fans who want to enjoy the fun and functionality of a tablet, while still experiencing the speed and security that a traditional laptop has to offer.

Originally priced at £549, the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5 Chromebook has dropped to a more approachable £379 at Currys, knocking an impressive £170 off its original price tag.

You’ll need to act fast if you want to grab these tech savings, deals like these won’t be around for long.

The 2-1 device is a great choice if you value portability and require a laptop for simple tasks such as typing or streaming, as it features a 13.3-inch OLED touchscreen display and weighs just 700g.

The Lenovo might be the perfect middle ground if you’re torn between a laptop and a tablet.

It offers speeds similar to that of a traditional Chromebook, so you won’t miss out on performance.

Unlike traditional offerings, this Chromebook can transform from a tablet into a laptop (or vice versa) in just seconds thanks to its detachable fabric keyboard.

If you want to stream your favourite series or scroll through endless hours of the latest TikTok trends, you can simply detach the screen to create a tablet.

And if it’s time to head off to work, lecture or lesson, you can quickly snap on the detachable keyboard and you’re ready to go.

The IdeaPad Duet 5 Chromebook also features front and rear-facing cameras and is programmed with Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and Google Meet.

Naturally, with a portable device like this, you’ll need enough battery to keep up, and you’re getting up to 15 hours of power with the IdeaPad, so no worries there.

Even better, you’ve got 256 GB of storage, which means all your important files and favourite shows can stay in one place.

And being a Chromebook, those files will be secure, thanks to the built-in protection and a Titan C2 security chip to keep out the bad guys, no viruses, no phishing, no hackers.

With a solid rating of 4.3 stars out of five, it’s safe to say that shoppers who have purchased the device have been left impressed.

Leaving a five-star review on the Currys website, one customer said: ‘Design is [the] perfect compromise between laptop and tablet.

‘Great value when compared to an MS Surface. ChromeOS is beautiful and simple to use. The keyboard is a good size. Weight is good.’

Elsewhere on the website, a second shopper wrote: ‘Great little gadget, basically a very good tablet and a very good small laptop.’

A third review read: ‘Really clever device that’s a Chromebook but the screen can be detached and you have a substantial Android tablet.

‘The screen is excellent and the keyboard is very precise and comfortable to use. Battery life is excellent.’

If this style of device doesn’t quite hit the mark for you (it’s not for everyone), don’t worry, there are plenty of more traditional options on sale.

I also like the look of the HP Chromebook Plus, down to £299 from £429, coming with a larger 15.6-inch screen.

It’s not all about the laptops this week though, I’ve spotted some pretty stellar smartphone savings that you won’t want to miss too.

Just last week I found a fantastic offer on a fan-favourite Google handset that comes with a £100 complimentary Currys gift card.

Currys also came through with another winner with £100 off the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra and a free bundle worth £85 thrown in to sweeten the savings.
