Lenovo has unveiled the Chromebook Duet 11, a tablet device with a built-in stand, complete with a keyboard and pen (reminiscent of the Surface). Designed for note-taking through apps like Goodnotes, but running on ChromeOS, it’s a unique fusion of features.
Lenovo has dabbled in similar products before, such as the IdeaPad Duet 5 Chromebook in 2021 or the Chromebook Duet 10.1″. This time around, they’ve upsized the screen, beefed up the CPU, added more RAM options, and enhanced the camera specs.
Specs of the Chromebook Duet 11 include a 10.95″ WUXGA display, MediaTek Kompanio 838 chip with built-in NPU supporting AI features, LPDDR4X 4GB/8GB RAM, eMMC storage 64GB/128GB, 8MP rear camera, 5MP front camera, weighing 510g + keyboard 288g, 12-hour battery life, and support for the Lenovo USI Pen 2 (sold separately).
A glimpse of its utility comes through Google showcasing it with the popular note-taking app, Goodnotes, in its web version. Purchasing this model comes with a complimentary 3-month Goodnotes membership.
Lenovo also offers a parallel device, the Chromebook Duet EDU G2 tailored for the education market, sharing similar specs but encased in TPU for durability against impact and spills, catering specifically to school environments.
The product is now available in the United States starting at $339.
TLDR: Lenovo introduces the Chromebook Duet 11, an innovative tablet with a built-in stand, keyboard, and pen, designed for note-taking with features like an upsized screen, enhanced CPU, increased RAM options, and improved camera specifications. It is now available in the US with a starting price of $339.
