Lenovo unveiled IdeaPad Duet Chromebook at CES 2020 earlier this year. It went on sale in the US starting May but like most Chrome OS devices, it has been mostly out of stock due to the demand caused by the pandemic. The product made its way to India in September but now a little over a month later, the tablet is already discounted ahead of Diwali festive season.

The IdeaPad Duet Chromebook is the only Lenovo Chrome OS device available officially in India. Also, it can be only purchased from the company’s official website.

The tablet launched in the country for ₹27,999. But for a limited time, its price has been dropped by ₹3,000 ahead of Diwali. Hence, it is currently listed at ₹24,999. However, you can get it for only ₹23,749 with the coupon code – LENTAB.

I have been personally this device ever since it debuted in India. In fact, I am writing this deal article on it, thanks to the magnetic keyboard accessory and kickstand case that come bundled with it unlike any other tablet in the market.

It is powered by MediaTek helio P60T paired with 4GB LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB eMMC internal storage. But I would advise you to not go by the specs as this device is really fast. Above all, it is slated to receive Chrome OS updates until June 2028 and it can also run Android as well as Linux applications.

The tablet sports a 10.1-inch IPS LCD panel with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels and 400 nits peak brightness. It also supports USI Styluses but none of them are available in India.

On the connectivity front, it features dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 4.2, and USB Type-C. Unfortunately, it does not have a 3.5mm headphone jack but comes with dual stereo speakers powered by Dolby Audio, however, they are not great. Anyway, you do get a USB Type-C to 3.5mm headphone jack inside the box

Further, it also has an 8MP rear camera if you are into clicking pictures on tablets and a 2MP front-facing camera for video calls and selfies. Lastly, it is backed by a 7,000mAh battery and offers up to 10 hours of battery life. Although it supports 15W USB PD charging, the company ships it with a 10W charger.

The only letdown of Lenovo IdeaPad Duet Chromebook is its 450g weight. With the keyboard and the kickstand case, it weighs even more at 920g.

Lenovo first announced the IdeaPad Duet and IdeaPad Flex 5 Chromebooks at CES 2020 in January. Since then, there has been no word about the products. A couple of days back Best Buy listed the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet Chromebook for pre-order. The listing is for the 128GB version and it comes in at $299. Now, this price is pretty unrealistic, considering that the Chromebook  64GB version is priced at $279.

Already, some intending buyers have successfully placed orders for the Duet and it is billed to ship on May 11. Best Buy had removed the pre-order button and replace it with “Coming soon”. The pre-order is back on but the expected shipping date has been moved to May 20. The product page shows that the IdeaPad Duet will go on sale on May 6 but Lenovo is yet to officially confirm the release date.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Duet is a detachable Chromebook that comes with a keyboard base in the box. The 10.1-inch tablet has an FHD display, a single USB-C port, and runs on top of Google’s Chrome OS with “up to” eight years of updates.

The device is powered by a MediaTek Helio P60T processor along with 4 GB of RAM, 64GB storage and 128 GB of storage on the top-tier model. There’s also a 7,180 mAh battery within, an 8 MP camera on the back, and a 2 MP camera on the front.
