Lenovo Chromebook Duet 11-Inch (2024) Hands-On and First Impressions

・・・・・・・

Last week at the Chromebook Showcase in New York, Google unveiled two awesome new prices of hardware alongside quite a few, new ChromeOS additions that will be of great interest to many of you. Of course, there are new AI smarts coming to Chromebook Plus users, but there are some great updates for Chromebooks across the board, as well. And the hardware that was introduced include two new Chromebooks that many of you have been waiting very patiently for. And I think it was worth the wait

Chrome OS for CB looks better on tablets than mobile OS, or is it just me?

2:50 im with you... It's the most bizarre and perplexing kickstand I've ever seen

I just ordered the 8 GB memory version for around $370 after some weekend coupons and an education discount a couple days ago. I've always wanted the Duet ever since the first one came out so I am excited for the ergonomic dream that I know this will be. I started off my Chromebook experience with the Lenovo C330 back when that came out and fell in love with the super-smooth user-experience of ChromeOS especially when paired with the 2-in-1 form factor. I genuinely believe nothing beats the ergonomics of a small / lightweight 2-in-1 Chromebook.

Brilliant, I just hope that it becomes available in the UK...!!

Really hope they bring this one to Europe, I love my original Chromebook Duet, most comfortable device ever and the price was sweet.

Disappointed that this isn't a Chromebook Plus model. I have both the original Duet and the Duet 3 and around the two-year mark had issues with both that forced me to upgrade. This time around however, I decided not to wait for this new model and decided to try a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 instead. It's much pricier, but also much faster and DeX works great as a desktop OS replacement. I'm hoping that a faster, more powerful tablet will come along because I'd still prefer to use Chrome OS. I really wish there were more 10" and 11" options available.

I was just about to order a new Duet since mine got crushed. glad they are coming out with a new one! the Duets are fantastic!!

Google REALLY needs to update the Files app for ChromeOS it's just terrible

[AndroidDigest]

I've been enjoying it so far! I put up my first impressions too. But I'm curious about the pricing. I see it at Best Buy right now for $380 but only the 4GB of RAM version, which is odd considering all of the prices we've been told. Hopefully we see the 8GB of model pop up soon!

I'm getting a feeling this might be our last Duet. The chrome-OS tablets phase sizzled out.

Kompanio 838 really elevates performance! Excited to see how this Chromebook handles online classes and multimedia learning.

2 usb ports instead of 1 is a huge benefit. The vertical capability of the stand is really nice too! I could see myself using it that way in the kitchen if there's not a lot of countertop space. Might upgrade from the 1st gen Duet to this.

[justinmitchell]

Definitely interested in this device. Currently have an original duet

The mediatek processor in Lenovo's Chromebook Duet is a game-changer! Smooth multitasking and perfect for work or entertainment.

[jeskli]

Watching this on my original Chromebook Duet. Maybe time for upgrade?

[oofradio-michaeliafrato-kd]

I really wish someone would make a Chromebook plus/pro (whatever they are called) in a tablet form. Unless there is one and I'm missing it.

[caerolleclaudel]

I hope they drop an updated 5! I love mine in most ways but is so slow I rarely use it. If it had a faster processor it would see a lot of use. Crossing my fingers!

[luckycatdad]

Does it have video input to be used as a second screen like some other Lenovo tablets?

[lakshayagarwal]

Impressed by the Lenovo Chromebook Duet's specs - that Mediatek chipset should handle everything smoothly.

[PatVachon]

Anyone know if there will be a Duet 13 inch?
