It doesn't seem cheap, either, which is not a given with tablets that cost under $400. Aside from adding a little visual intrigue to the device, the grippy surface of the top portion also makes the tablet a little easier to hold with one hand in portrait orientation.Īt just under 8mm thick, the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3 is just thick enough to feel substantial without looking chunky. There's a single USB-C port at the bottom of the left and right sides, with a speaker above each to make a stereo pair.Īround the back, the Duet 3 has a cool two-tone look with a rubbery material covering the top third and plain aluminum on the rest. Holding the tablet in landscape, the selfie camera is centered in the top bezel (where it ought to be), the power button is on the left edge, and the volume keys are up top. A slightly smaller display might be nicer for reading, and a larger screen is definitely a help with productivity, but I think a screen size of about 11 inches is the sweet spot for a general use tablet. Its display, a crisp 1200p LCD panel, is flanked by bezels that seem appropriately thick for a tablet much thinner, and the Duet would be hard to grip without touching the screen. The Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3 is an 11-inch tablet with a detachable keyboard case - like the original Chromebook Duet, just a touch larger.
