Lenovo has released the Duet Chromebook, a 10-inch 2-in-1 that runs Chrome OS. The base model, which has 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, costs $279, but only the $299 model, which has 128GB of storage, appears to be listed at Best Buy right now.
That’s an attractive price, especially when other highly anticipated Chromebook releases this year have asked over $700. We have the Duet’s size (10 inches is pretty small) and underpowered processor to thank for that. But Chrome OS doesn’t require as much horse power as Windows — and it’s possible we’ll see a battery-life benefit from the weaker chip as well.
Don’t expect to use the Duet Chromebook as a primary workstation, but it is shaping up to be a solid secondary browsing device
