Product Information

This is first and foremost a tablet, going up against the base model iPads and Samsung Galaxy Tab A7s of this world. With Chrome OS and Android support, it arguably gives you the best of both tablet and Chromebook worlds, and you won’t find a Full HD+ IPS screen on many other Chromebooks at this price point. The only downside comes in the fact that it’s small. If you’re a heavy multitasker or want to spend a lot of time on your Chromebook keyboard, then you really need to think about a larger device. The Duet 3 is an improvement over the original Duet in some smart ways. Lenovo upgraded the screen and boosted its resolution, making everything you view on it look better. The second USB-C port is also a nice addition that makes the Duet 3 a more feasible productivity device, because you can now plug it into power and a USB hub at the same time to use your favorite keyboard and mouse (or whatever accessories you prefer). It's one of the reasons one of our editors chose this Chromebook over an Android tablet. As I said, I’ve gotten the cheapest version and that one is too weak for demanding apps. I was able to install Adobe Photoshop and for simple edits, it sometimes runs fine. But at other times, it hangs itself up when loading an image. For somewhat proper Photoshop use, you need at least a Core m3. Office Work & Web Surfing However, it's less impressive than the 11+ hour runtimes put up by tablets like the the Microsoft Surface Go 2 (11:38), the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 (12:52) or the base Apple iPad 2021 (11:59). It's not even as good as the original 2020 Lenovo Duet (12:47), which may have something to do with the fact that the newer Duet 3 has a larger, higher-resolution screen than its predecessor. Lenovo Duet 3 review: Heat They keyboard, too, was comfortable to type on with plenty of key travel and a soft, well damped feel. Note, howeaver, that you cannot tilt the rear of the keyboard up and attach it magnetically to the bottom part of the tablet as you can with devices like the Microsoft Surface Pro 9.

Cheap Windows tablets often have problems with YouTube and that’s the case here as well. You can watch HD videos on YouTube fine most of the time, but sometimes you’ll see dropped frames. And it takes a couple of seconds to switch to fullscreen view. YouTube runs much smoother on a cheap Android device.Lenovo built-in a small battery and Bluetooth. That means you can use it even when the keyboard is separated from the tablet. I think that’s very useful. If you don’t have much room on a train or plane, you can put the tablet on the table and use the keyboard with a touchpad on your lap. That works great. You can see the biggest difference between the Duet 3i and Surface Go in their graphics performance. Even the cheapest one from Microsoft offers much better graphics. So, it’s certainly not a gaming tablet. Fortnite and similar titles won’t run. And while you can play other games like Asphalt 9, it does not make much fun because of too many stutters.

The rear-facing 8MP camera isn't much better, and in my experience I thought the images it captured looked blurry and washed out, with overly muted colors and fuzzy details. Lenovo Duet 3 review: Battery life Does Chrome OS make sense on a tablet? Well, a couple of years ago we had our doubts; the OS wasn’t that touch-friendly and neither were most web-based apps. Now, however, the OS has improved to make more use of gestures for navigation and app switching, while Android apps – especially the few that have been optimised for tablets – give you a little more software to work with. In practice, you still tend to switch between Android apps for media and content consumption and Chrome and web-based apps for productivity, but the choice is there. As we said, the Duet gives you the best of both worlds, at least outside Apple’s ecosystem.It’s the latest model in one of our favourite budget 2-in-1 Windows laptop ranges, and this time around, it’s getting a series of impressive upgrades. Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3i hands-on: Key specifications, price and release date The Duet 3 rarely heats up, and even when I used it to watch movies or play games for hours I never noticed more than a mild warmth emanating from the device.

The original Lenovo Duet Chromebook we reviewed in 2020 didn't even run Geekbench 5, but if it had it would have been outperformed by the new Duet 3. The Microsoft Surface Go 3 (Intel Core i3-10100Y, 8GB RAM) earned a lesser score of 1,571 in the same test, for example, as did its predecessor the Surface Go 2 (Core m3-8100Y CPU, 8GB RAM) with its score of 1,617. However, more powerful (and more expensive) tablets like the Microsoft Surface Pro 8 (Intel i7-1185G7, 16GB RAM) and Apple iPad Air 5 (M1 chip, 8GB RAM) zoomed past the Duet 3 with scores of 5,347 and 7,151, respectively.

For this, I’m always looping an HD video on YouTube at maximum brightness. That’s a good result for a Windows tablet. When looping an HD video locally at medium brightness, it lasts a bit longer.
