The Lenovo Ideapad Duet Chromebook is one of the best Chrome OS devices available in the market, which happens to be a tablet as well. More than a year after its release, the PC maker has announced its successor dubbed as Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5 Chromebook. The new model brings upgrades in almost all aspects.

The new Chrome OS tablet from Lenovo features a two-tone finish like the last year’s model. It comes in two colors, namely Abyss Blue and Storm Grey. The device measures 305.86 x 186.74 x 7.25mm in dimensions and weighs 700g.
It sports a 13.3-inch OLED panel supplied by Samsung Display. This screen has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels (FHD), 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, and 400 nits brightness. The screen also has TÜV Rheinland Eyesafe Display and SGS Eye Care Display certifications.
The product is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 chipset coupled with 4GB/8GB LPDDR4x RAM and 64GB/128GB/256GB eMMC SSD. On the connectivity front, it supports dual-band WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, 2 x USB 3.0 Gen 1 Type-C ports, and a pogo-pin connector.
Just like its predecessor, this one also ships with a detachable keyboard accessory and a kickstand case. Additionally, the new model also comes with a USI stylus that can be magnetically attached to the back.
As far as audio is concerned, the tablet arrives with 4 x 1W stereo speakers but does not sport a 3.5mm headphone jack. It also has an 8MP rear camera and a 5MP front-facing camera. Last but not least, it is backed by a 42WHr battery, which is rated to last for up to 15 hours.
