I have been using both the Apple iPad Air 4th generation and Lenovo Chromebook Duet for the last few months. Both are pretty amazing devices in their own ways. I have used both of them in different scenarios.
I too was confused whether which one would be a perfect fit for me, so I ended up buying both devices. But that’s ok since part of my job is to figure out stuff for our readers as well.
