Lenovo Releases Two New Duet Chromebooks

Lenovo elevates productivity and enjoyment on-the-go with Chromebook Duet (11", 9) and Chromebook Duet EDU G2, two 10.95-inch convertible laptops with 2K display that balance design and performance. Encased in a full metal chassis with Corning Gorilla Glass for ultimate durability and complemented by a soft protective folio, the Chromebook Duet (11", 9) is a portable companion that entertains, adapts, and encourages you to create. A learning resource for students and teachers, the Chromebook Duet EDU G2 takes durability to the next level with a rugged case and detachable keyboard.

"Modern society is constantly on the move, a challenge to traditional notions of productivity and leisure based on being stationary, while underscoring the necessity of having a portable and efficient laptop," said Benny Zhang, Executive Director and General Manager of Chromebooks in Lenovo's Intelligent Devices Group. "The Lenovo Chromebook Duet and Lenovo Chromebook Duet EDU G2 powered by MediaTek Kompanio 838 processor with AI-enabled NPU are versatile companions for work, play, learning and everything in between."
Flexibility and Durability Simplified
Designed for users in motion, the Lenovo Chromebook Duet (11", 9) comes with a thoughtful kickstand that adapts to the user's needs, effortlessly transitioning between laptop and portrait mode for easy reading, sketching, browsing, or blazing through tasks.

Discreetly hiding in the kickstand, the Lenovo USI Pen 2 perfectly complements the tablet, allowing users to sketch, take notes, and sign documents like a real pen. With the Lenovo USI Pen 2, users can also capture, organize, and express their ideas on Goodnotes.

Coming in at under 1.2 lbs. and 0.3-inches thick, the Lenovo Chromebook Duet (11", 9) weighs less and is thinner than most books, has an ultra-clear 2K 400-nit display for easy reading and entertainment or streaming even outdoors, and has full-day power with up to 12-hour battery life. In addition, it is adventure-ready with a MIL-STD 810H certified chassis capable of handling bumps and splashes.

For users desiring more protection and functionality, a folio keyboard and a stand cover weighing less than 0.65lbs and 0.35lbs respectively are available.

Productivity and Creativity Amplified
The Lenovo Chromebook Duet (11", 9) with MediaTek Kompanio 838 processor, up to 8 GB of memory and an AI-enabled NPU, enjoys on-device graphic AI processing, improved palm rejection and camera clarity, and takes your specs even further for interactive multimedia experiences.

To showcase the 2K display, the Lenovo Chromebook Duet (11", 9) features an 8MP rear camera, enhanced by MediaTek's cutting-edge image processing technology, capturing and enhancing all those impromptu moments clearly before they disappear and a 5MP front camera with physical shutter for privacy. It comes with dual USB-C ports with the ability to connect to a 4K display and delivers crisp sound through 2 speakers and SmartAMP with Wave Audio.

Learning and Security Upgraded
The Lenovo Chromebook Duet EDU G2 embraces the productivity, creativity, and mobility of the Lenovo Chromebook Duet (11", 9) but adds an extra layer of durability. Designed to fit seamlessly into any educational setting, the laptop is protected by a TPU case with keyboard, has reinforced ports and can withstand accidental spills up to 360ml. Products made with TPU or Thermoplastic Polyurethane are low weight and thin, but also strong enough to withstand accidental drops.

For educators, the Lenovo Chromebook Duet EDU G2 comes with Chrome Education Upgrade, which lets schools and IT administrations manage hundreds of Chromebooks in seconds, deploying new devices, customizing features, and configuring secure settings from a single cloud-based console.

Pricing and Availability
The Lenovo Chromebook Duet (11", 9) and Lenovo Chromebook Duet EDU G2 are ENERGY STAR certified and EPEAT Gold registered, come with a 3-month subscription of Gemini Advanced, and are now available in North America starting at $339.99 and $319, respectively.
