There has been no shortage of awesome Chromebooks released over the last year: we’re talking OLED displays and hardware that pushes the limits of what these once-modest devices were capable of.
But one of the best Chromebooks I’ve tested is one of the most affordable. The Lenovo Chromebook Duet
The tablet weighs 1.12 pounds, but the keyboard and backplate/kickstand bring the total weight up to 2.09 pounds. That’s still pretty dang light, even for a Chromebook.
Just keep in mind that this is a small device: the keyboard and accompanying trackpad might be too small for certain adults to use comfortably, as the keys are a bit tinier than standard.

The battery life is quite good as well. Lenovo advertises over 12 hours of use, but I got a little over 10 in my testing. The physical size of the device is going to prevent the 29WHr battery from going much beyond the 10- to 12-hour mark.
All in all, the Lenovo Chromebook Duet
