The Lenovo Chromebook Duet ships with a detachable keyboard which makes it a miniature 2-in-1 laptop. Its kickstand cover makes it easy to prop the tablet up for laptop or viewing mode. The Chromebook Duet on sale features a 10.1-inch (1920 x 1200) display, MediaTek Helio P60T octa-core CPU, 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It also comes with 15GB of Google Drive storage, unlimited image storage in Google Photos, and tons of Google Perks. As we detail in our Lenovo Chromebook Duet review, we like its ultraportable design, colorful display, and performance. We were also impressed by its long lasting battery which endured 13 hours on our Laptop Mag battery test. We gave the Chromebook Duet an overall rating of 4 out of 5 stars. In one test, we opened 24 Google Chrome tabs, an additional tab playing a 1080p YouTube video, and opened up Google Docs. Paragraph after paragraph, there was no system slowdown or lag. In our lab, the Chromebook Duet scored 5,526 on the Geekbench 4 overall performance benchmark. It scored higher than the average Chromebook, which has an overall-performance score of 5,293. Alone, the Chromebook Duet measures 9.4 x 6.3 x 0.3 inches and 9.6 x 6.7 x 0.7 inches with the kickstand cover installed. It’s smaller than competitors like the Samsung Chromebook 3 (11 x 8 x 0.7 inches) and HP Chromebook x360 12b (11 x 9 x 0.7 inches). For connectivity, the Chromebook Duet has a single USB Type-C port for power charging, data transfer, DisplayPort and USB on-the-go. If you’re looking for a versatile, yet affordable 2-in-1, the Chromebook Duet is an exceptional value — especially at this price! Even when not on sale, the Chromebook Duet tends to sell out fast so don’t hesitate to grab one.
