Versatility at Its Finest
It's namesake of the 'Duet' comes from this being a two-in-one device. They keypad is detachable and given that the screen is a touchscreen, you can effectively transform your Chromebook laptop into a tablet in seconds. This adds a ton of versatility to how you choose to use your Lenovo IdeaPad, letting you switch between laptop and tablet on the fly given the task at hand. Killing time browsing through Instagram? Take the keypad off and layback on the couch. Drafting a longwinded email to a tough client? Maybe pop that keyboard back on and sit at your desk.
The case doubles as a stand, so whether or not you have the keypad attached, you can prop the Lenovo IdeaPad up at the ideal viewing angle. That makes it great for catching up on your favorite TV shows in a pinch.
The Chrome OS is fast and secure. It supports a ton of built-in Google apps such as Gmail, Gemini, Docs, Photos, YouTube, and more. It's loads super quickly, booting up in just 10 seconds. And then with 10 hours of battery life, it will handle the whole work day and then some on a single charge.
Chat with friends or colleagues with ease thanks to the fixed-focus front-facing 5MP camera. Additionally, it has a rear-facing 8MP for taking photos and videos which is capable of auto-focusing so you can capture subjects at any distance.
