Media love the Lenovo Chromebook Duet, powered by MediaTek.
The new Lenovo™ Chromebook Duet is a highly portable 10.1-inch, 2-in-1 detachable laptop running Chrome OS and powered by the highly capable MediaTek Helio P60T & MT8183. Designed specifically for mobile productivity, the Duet includes an ultra thin, detachable laptop-grade keyboard with full trackpad and backstand to help you get meaningful work done on-the-go, wherever you are.
Media reviews of this new Chromebook Duet are consistently positive, highlighting its great capability, quality and surprising affordability, which ultimate creates a highly compelling device that redefines the Chromebook experience and expectation.
“Thus far, the world of Chrome OS has only seen two kinds of tablets — premium, high-end devices like the Google Pixel Slate and low-end, education-focused ones like the Acer Chromebook Tab 10. The Lenovo IdeaPad Duet, which goes on sale today, aims to slot somewhere in the middle by bringing a well-rounded mid-tier spec sheet at an affordable price point.” — 9to5Google
“Tablet mode in Chrome OS is finally ready for primetime.” — Android Central
“During my briefing for the product, representatives from Google and Lenovo told me that the Duet was the result of over a year of collaboration with one another, and that many of the tablet-centric changes we’ve recently seen land in Chrome OS were built with this specific hardware in mind. I’m sure that’s partly marketing and hype, but using the tablet, I think there’s some truth to it. Chrome OS is a much better experience on a tablet these days, in no small part due to the new gesture navigation system.” — Android Police
“Seriously, this thing feels way better than a $300 tablet (with included keyboard) deserves to feel.” — Chrome Unboxed
“Chrome keeps growing in features and this two-in-one will continue to get updates every six weeks for the next eight years. As your main device, it’s performance and size may be a little limiting. But if you’re looking for something for pure mobility or as a secondary device, so far this seems to be a smart choice. I can certainly see why Chrome users are excited about it, especially at $300.” — CNET
“The Chromebook Duet will surely be an attractive option for those who are entrenched in Google Classroom during remote learning, as well as a capable alternative to Apple’s entry-level iPad.” — CNN
“Really, the appeal of the Chromebook Duet comes from its value for money, not to mention a highly portable design that can last up to 10 hours on a charge, or enough to handle a day of work or school with room for some Android gaming afterward.” — Engadget
“Lenovo claims that the Chromebook Duet can offer up to 10 hours of battery life, but the company may actually be underselling its device’s longevity. I just checked in with our lab tester, and the Chromebook Duet hit 12 hours and 46 minutes on our battery test.” –– Laptop
“One thing is for sure, Lenovo Chromebook Duet certainly lives up to its name with its book-like appearance. Travelers, commuters — and anyone else who’s on-the-go — will appreciate this Chromebook’s tiny footprint as they hop from A to B without the burden of a heavyweight laptop.” — Laptop Mag
“At those prices, the Lenovo Chromebook Duet is cheaper than an entry-level iPad or Surface Go 2, neither of which comes with a pen included. You could certainly argue that iPadOS and Windows are more useful tablet operating systems (since the iPad supports millions of tablet-friendly apps and the Surface Go supports… Windows apps). But Google’s browser-based Chrome OS has been getting more touch-friendly over time and now supports Android and Linux apps as well as native Chrome OS apps.” — Liliputing
