Lenovo Chromebook Duet Gen 9 (11" MediaTek) review

The Duet is a ChromeOS tablet first and a laptop second, which makes it a good fit for younger kids and for reading, drawing and video at home. Lenovo's US store sold model 83HH0000US, which includes the Lenovo USI Pen 2, for $319.99 when we checked, down from a listed $499.99. The 10.95-inch WUXGA touch screen reaches 400 nits behind Corning Gorilla Glass 3. A folio stand with a kickstand and a detachable keyboard with touchpad turn it into a small laptop. Lenovo lists a MediaTek Kompanio 838 processor, a 29Wh battery rated at 12 hours in Google's power load test, a 5MP front camera with a privacy shutter and an 8MP rear camera. The tablet alone weighs from 1.12 pounds, and Lenovo says the chassis is spill-resistant and MIL-810H certified. The limits are real: this model has 4GB of memory and 64GB of storage, no card reader and a non-backlit keyboard, so heavy multitasking is not its job.
