If so, I think the price is a smidge high. The real question is: Is that the base model price? The Lenovo Duet 3 Chromebook starts at $399 and will be available in May. This year, a Storm Grey color is added alongside Misty Blue.
The tablet itself weighs 1.14 pounds, while the keyboard folio adds another 0.95 pounds. It offers a performance boost and a slightly larger but still portable package. It’s definitely possible as I know some readers use their old Duet tablet with an external display and keyboard for this purpose.Īll in all, this is a relatively solid upgrade. Well, if you plan to use it full-time for work, that is. The Lenovo Duet 3 Chromebook is expected to last up to 12 hours on a charge so I’d expect a full work-day out of it. This year’s model has one on each side, which I’d take over a microSD slot any day personally. But there is an additional USB Type-C port. Sorry, there’s still no microSD card slot for expansion. You’ll get a choice between 64, 128, and 256 GB capacity options. Storage is still the slower eMMC type, but I’d expect that for a device in this price range. You still get both a 5- and 8-megapixel camera. With the Snapdragon 7c, you’re still limited to WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.1, but that shouldn’t be a dealbreaker. And unlike the original Duet Chromebook tablet, you’re not limited to just 4 GB of memory. And for most people, it has enough day-to-day performance. Yes, that’s aging too, but it’s the same setup as the bigger Lenovo Duet Chromebook 5 I recently reviewed. Inside, the capable but aging MediaTek processor is replaced with a second-generation fanless Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c. Oh and when you fold that keyboard under the Lenovo Duet 3 Chromebook, it disables the keys and switches into Chrome OS tablet mode. This time around? It has an 11-inch 2K display with a slightly taller 5:3 ratio. The original has a 10.1-inch 1920 x 1200 LCD with a 16:9 aspect ratio. For starters, the Lenovo Duet 3 Chromebook gets a subtle screen boost.
