Flexibility Meets Functionality
Designed for users who refuse to be tethered to a desk, the Lenovo Chromebook Duet (11”, 9) boasts a thoughtful kickstand that adapts to your needs. Whether you’re sketching in portrait mode or typing away in laptop mode, this device transitions effortlessly. And here’s a nifty feature: the Lenovo USI Pen 2 hides discreetly in the kickstand. It’s like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat, but more practical. With this stylus, you can jot down notes, doodle, or sign documents as naturally as using a real pen.

Durability Without the Bulk
Encased in a full metal chassis with Corning Gorilla Glass, this Chromebook is built to withstand the rigours of daily life. Weighing in at under 1.2 lbs and measuring just 0.3 inches thick, it’s lighter and thinner than most books. Plus, with up to 12 hours of battery life, you can binge-watch your favourite shows or tackle that never-ending to-do list without constantly searching for an outlet.
Enhanced Performance with AI
Under the hood, the Chromebook Duet (11”, 9) is powered by the MediaTek Kompanio 838 processor, coupled with up to 8GB of memory and an AI-enabled neural processing unit (NPU). This means smoother on-device graphic processing, improved palm rejection when using the stylus, and better camera clarity for all those impromptu video calls.
Camera Ready for Every Moment
Speaking of cameras, the device features an 8MP rear camera enhanced by MediaTek’s image processing technology. So whether you’re capturing a sunset or your cat doing something hilarious (again), your photos will be clear and vibrant. The 5MP front camera comes with a physical shutter, giving you that extra peace of mind when it comes to privacy.
An Education Companion: Chromebook Duet EDU G2
For the students and educators out there, the Chromebook Duet EDU G2 takes everything great about the Duet (11”, 9) and adds an extra layer of durability. Think of it as the rugged cousin who’s always ready for an adventure. With a TPU case and reinforced ports, this device can handle accidental drops and spills up to 360ml. It also comes with the Chrome Education Upgrade, allowing IT administrators to manage multiple devices with ease.
Pricing and Availability
Both models are ENERGY STAR certified and EPEAT Gold registered, ticking the boxes for those concerned about energy efficiency. They also come with a 3-month subscription to Gemini Advanced, adding extra value to the package. Now available in North America, the Chromebook Duet starts at $339.99 (Rs 28,550), while the Chromebook Duet EDU G2 begins at $319 (Rs 26,787).
Lenovo’s latest offerings seem to hit the sweet spot between portability and performance. Whether you’re a student, a professional on the move, or someone who just appreciates a lightweight device with a long-lasting battery, these new Chromebooks could be worth considering. It’s refreshing to see tech companies acknowledging that not all heroes wear capes—some carry sleek, durable laptops instead.
