I don’t think many people will have any complaints about the display, especially at this price. It has fairly large bezels around the display, but what you’re getting here for $300 is very good. The tablet’s IPS display is crisp and colorful, with good viewing angles and a 16:10 aspect ratio that makes working with productivity apps a bit easier. You also get a plastic keyboard with built-in trackpad that attaches magnetically to the bottom of the Duet…more on that later. This cover not only helps with protection, but also crucially contains the adjustable kickstand. You also get in the box a cool grey fabric back cover that attaches magnetically.

Mercifully, Lenovo included a USB-to-3.5mm adapter in the package. Surprisingly, this tablet does not contain a headphone jack (oh, how I wish this unfortunate trend would end). This allows for charging, as well as connecting to an external display and accessories. There is a single USB-C port on the bottom right of the tablet in landscape mode.

Without the included accessories, the tablet weighs about one pound – roughly the same as an equivalent 10.2-inch iPad. The tablet is made of mostly aluminum, and it has a stylish two-tone iron gray and ice blue motif. Hardware/Design The Duet has an unexpectedly premium design for such an affordable package. Specs Product: Lenovo IdeaPad Duet Chromebook Specs: Mediatek P60T Octa-core 2.0 GHz CPU, 4 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD, 7180 mAh (27.6 Wh) battery Display: 10-inch 1900 X 1200 IPS Wireless: 802.11 b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.2 Price: The reviewer purchased this device with his own funds for $299.99 plus tax at Best Buy. I used the Duet as my primary computing device for four days, and I came away mostly impressed. And I’m happy to say that, in several ways, this mini computer/tablet thing is very, very good. It truly is an insane deal…almost too good to be true. A sleek, svelte 2-in-1 Chromebook, the Duet gives you pretty much everything you need in the box to have a functional tablet-laptop hybrid device for just $300. Such is the case with the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet.

Sometimes, you come across a deal in the tech world that seems too good to be true.
