Lenovo Chromebook Duet 11

50% Lenovo Chromebook Duet 11 review: a step backward
Source: Digital Trends EN→zh-CN
I wanted to like the Chromebook Duet 11. I liked the older version quite a bit, especially when it dropped under $350. It was (just) fast enough, got decent battery life, and could serve as a decent Chromebook for anyone with limited computing needs. But I don’t feel the same way about the newest version. The line between fast enough and problematically slow is thin, and the new Chromebook Duet 11 falls on the problematic side. It’s been a while since I’ve tested a device with performance this poor. Lagging and hesitations even just in Google Chrome will make using the Chromebook Duet 11 a very unpleasant experience, regardless of how basic the use case is. Throw in an uncomfortable keyboard, and you have something that’s not worth buying — even at rock-bottom prices. Lenovo has a larger 2-in-1 option, the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 13, which has a faster processor and an OLED screen for just $150 more, whereas the previous-gen model is selling for just 240.

80% Lenovo Chromebook Duet review: Budget brilliance
Source: PC World EN→zh-CN
The 2024 edition of the Chromebook Duet doubles down on its hybrid form factor and budget price. Lenovo has refined this design very well, and it remains a great choice if you want a cheap, reliable Chromebook that fits in small spaces and can do some light tablet duty. Just keep an eye on your tabs.

80% Lenovo Chromebook Duet 11 Gen 9 review: this affordable Lenovo tablet changed my mind about Chromebooks
Source: Laptop Mag EN→zh-CN
I’m not sure I’d be able to replace my laptop with a Chromebook full-time, but as a tablet, the Chromebook Duet 11 offers incredible value. Starting at just $359 you get solid performance, good battery life, an impressive display, decent audio, and quality cameras. With the top-spec coming in at under $400, the Chromebook Duet 11 is hard to argue against. Sure, it may have some memory bottlenecks due to only having 4GB of RAM, and the folio keyboard may feel a bit mushy, but the Duet 11 more than makes up for those faults. After spending some time with it, Lenovo's Chromebook Duet 11 has made me a believer in the value of a good Chromebook.

70% Review: Lenovo's Chromebook Duet 11 is a portable productivity partner

ChromeOS tablets are a hard sell because there's not a great use case for them. I personally have not found a lot of use for a tablet, especially a ChromeOS tablet, so it's not my form factor of choice. But if you're an artist, sign a lot of documents, or just plan to consume a lot of content, then maybe a tablet makes sense. If you're one of these people, the Duet 11 is probably the best Chromebook tablet out there. If you don't have a strong use case for a tablet, then I'd probably stick with a more traditional Chromebook. You can get some great Chromebooks with similar performance and specs for a similar price, like the Acer Chromebook Plus 515.

Our review model is the SKU with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage for $399, and it’s the one I’d nudge you towards if you are thinking of picking one up. With updates until June of 2034, you’ll appreciate the extra 4GB of RAM you get for that $40 upcharge, and I promise you won’t miss that money in a few months. I guarantee you’ll miss that extra RAM in a few years, though. And that’s the new Lenovo Chromebook Duet in a nutshell. It’s improved in a bunch of small-yet-significant ways and I can say without question that this is the best Chromebook tablet you can buy right now.

90% Lenovo Chromebook Duet 11 Review: The best Chromebook tablet gets better
Source: Android Central EN→zh-CN
There's no such thing as the perfect device, but it feels as though Lenovo is getting closer and closer to creating the perfect Chromebook tablet. The original Duet provided a solid foundation, and it was one that Lenovo has just been building on since then. The Chromebook Duet 11 is a great example of when a company makes meaningful improvements, listens to feedback, and implements changes in the "right" way.Sure, there are gripes and complaints to be had, but in reality, I fully expect this new model to sell just as well as its predecessors. It also wouldn't surprise me if it flies off of the shelves as soon as the first round of discounts arrives.I can (and will) wholeheartedly recommend the Duet 11 to anyone who asks, with one caveat — pay the extra $40 so you can get double the RAM and storage.

80% Lenovo Duet 11 Is the Best 2-in-1 Chromebook Ever. Here's Why
Source: CNet EN→zh-CN
The Chromebook Duet remains an excellent option for an inexpensive basic laptop for travel and at home. As your main computer, its performance and size may be too limiting. If you're looking for something for pure mobility or as a secondary device, this is a smart choice. The $400 price for the bundle with 8GB of memory and pen is high, but it won't be long before Lenovo puts it on sale for less. Likewise, for the Best Buy configuration, which is regularly $380, I would expect it to go on sale eventually for closer to $300.

One of the smallest Chromebooks I've tested is also one of the most versatile

The Lenovo Chromebook Duet 11-inch is a complete package: a self-supporting tablet as well as a laptop, all with Google's lightweight operating system. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for next-level portability and who expects to use it in all its different configurations: as a tablet, as a laptop, and as a note-taking device. Many devices can do all those things, but the Duet can go places a laptop can't, and is well-priced for its wide versatility.
