The Duet 3 is outfitted with a pair of USB-C ports, one on either side of the detachable-tablet half of the machine. The rear facing camera, which can be used for capturing photos of the world around you, has a higher 8-megapixel resolution.

The user-facing camera, which will be used for video chatting and other webcam functions, is a 5-megapixel camera. Embracing the unique aspect of the tablet design, Lenovo has outfitted the Duet 3 with front and rear cameras. There's also a hole in the back cover, which accommodates a rear-facing camera. It's a design that borrows more from the Microsoft Surface line of tablets than it does from the average Chromebook. The Duet 3 also has a back cover with a built-in kickstand, providing you support for the tablet in lieu of a regular laptop hinge. And with a touch screen close at hand, the touchpad isn't the only option for touch interaction. The touchpad is quite small-not unexpected given the dimensions of the keyboard cover-but it seemed to track all of my gestures and taps accurately. Instead, it's a 2-in-1 detachable design, pairing an 11-inch tablet with a magnetically attached keyboard that doubles as a screen cover. The Lenovo Duet 3 Chromebook eschews the standard laptop clamshell form factor that's so common among Chrome machines. We just wish the battery life were better. The Chromebook category has grown immensely in recent years, expanding with the growth of online schooling during the pandemic and encompassing more-premium designs that have helped shed the stigma of the small, cheap Chromebooks of years past.īut the 11-inch Lenovo Duet 3 Chromebook may help revitalize that compact, budget-friendly niche, combining a totable, 2-in-1 detachable design with the expanded capabilities of the latest version of Chrome OS. The Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3 Chromebook ($369.99) is a handy 2-in-1 twist on the Chromebook, updating the original Lenovo Chromebook Duet with new hardware, and taking much of what we love about the 13-inch Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5 Chromebook and packaging it into a smaller 11-inch design.
