When shopping at this end of the budget pool, a 25% premium to get the keyboard (which is a must-have) makes a big difference.Īs a Chromebook, the Duet is less capable than a Windows device in some respects, but as modern Chromebooks can run almost any Android app, the use cases where this would make a real difference to you continue to narrow. But the biggest practical difference to me is that the Lenovo Duet includes its pretty darn good keyboard cover in the box, while Microsoft forces you to buy its keyboard cover for an extra $100 to $129, depending on the color. It's $400 and runs Windows instead of ChromeOS, and has an Intel processor instead of the Snapdragon 7c here. Microsoft already makes a budget Surface, the most-recent version of which is called the Surface Go 3. The version tested here has 64GB of eMMC storage, but the model in stores right now has 128GB, which is a plus. In that way, it's kind of like a cheaper Microsoft Surface two-in-one. That means it can work as a standalone touchscreen tablet, or as a clamshell-like notebook. Then again, the last-gen IdeaPad Duet 3i is even cheaper now on Amazon.Currently selling for $379, this is an 11-inch ChromeOS tablet with a keyboard cover and kickstand.

The IdeaPad Duet 3i (11-inch, 8) also offers 2 USB type-C ports as well as a 3.5mm jack, one of which supports Rapid Charge Boost technology that restores about 2 hours of run-time after a 15-minute charge. The " versatile" new PC runs Windows 11 Home or Pro using the latest Intel N100 or N200 platforms for " powerful" performance. It is found in a " slim, elegant and portable" chassis weighing as little as 697g (1.53lb) in some configurations. The 5:3 panel supports 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut and boasts a 400-nit max brightness rating. However, the version making its debut at MWC 2023 has a new and potentially improved 11-inch touch IPS display. Lenovo's new Ideapad Duet 3i is a 2-in-1 with its own detachable " Folio Case", like the last PC of that name.
