The Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3 is an excellent value, providing a surprisingly useful detachable tablet at a very affordable price.
Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3 MSRP $300.00 Score Details DT Recommended Product “The Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3 is fast enough for the tasks it will be expected to perform, with excellent battery life and a lovely display.” Pros Cons Expensive, top-of-the-line laptops are fun to review in their own right. But it’s budget laptops where the rubber hits the road — and where most people are shopping.
The Chromebook Duet 3 has increased slightly in thickness to 0.31 inches from 0.29 inches, and it weighs 1.14 pounds, up from 0.9 pounds. The most direct competitor, HP’s Chromebook x2 11, is slightly narrower but half an inch taller, at 0.3 inches thick and 1.23 pounds. The base Apple iPad with a 10.2-inch display is narrower and taller but thinner at 0.29 inches and lighter at 1.07 pounds, and the Microsoft Surface Go 3 with a 10.
Wireless connectivity is provided by Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.1, a limitation of the Qualcomm chipset. You’ll be challenged in running the most intense Android games. For example, Asphalt 9 suffered some stuttering during gameplay. You’ll likely want to limit yourself to more casual titles. Two side-firing speakers provided audio that was clean and bright but didn’t get very loud. Mids and highs were nicely done, but there was zero bass. The sound quality is sufficient for system sounds and watching YouTube videos by yourself, but pull out a pair of Bluetooth headphones for bingeing Netflix and listening to your tunes.
Battery life The Chromebook Duet 3 has just 29 watt-hours of battery capacity, which doesn’t sound like a lot, but it’s powering a small display and an energy-efficient ARM CPU. The HP Chromebook x2 11’s battery is slightly larger at 32 watt-hours, while the Microsoft Surface Go 3’s battery is slightly smaller at 28 watt-hours.
