Lenovo is once again stepping up the game with its two latest Chromebooks, the Lenovo Chromebook Duet (11”, 9) and Lenovo Chromebook Duet EDU G2. Designed with portability, durability, and versatility in mind, these devices are aimed at professionals, students, and casual users who need reliable performance in a compact package. Whether you’re a busy student or a professional on the move, Lenovo’s new Chromebooks offer a seamless balance between design and functionality.
Versatility Meets Durability
At the heart of both the Chromebook Duet and the Duet EDU G2 is the idea of flexibility. The 10.95-inch 2K display on both devices delivers crisp visuals whether you’re working, streaming, or simply browsing. Encased in a full metal chassis with Corning® Gorilla® Glass, the Chromebook Duet (11”, 9) is built to withstand the rigors of daily use, all while maintaining a sleek, professional appearance. This model comes with a soft protective folio, making it an ideal companion for those who need a laptop that’s easy to carry and versatile enough to adapt to different situations.
For educational environments, the Chromebook Duet EDU G2 takes things a step further. With a rugged TPU case and detachable keyboard, it’s designed to handle the unpredictability of a classroom setting. Whether it’s accidental spills (up to 360ml) or drops, this Chromebook is built to survive it all. Lenovo has clearly considered the realities of everyday student life, ensuring that the Duet EDU G2 offers the durability needed in a school setting.
Power and Performance with AI
Both models are powered by the MediaTek Kompanio 838 processor, which comes with an AI-enabled neural processing unit (NPU) for enhanced performance. This AI-driven technology enables the Chromebooks to handle multitasking efficiently, making them perfect for users juggling between work, school, and entertainment. The NPU also plays a key role in boosting creative tasks, from photo editing to basic coding, ensuring that these Chromebooks are more than just everyday browsing machines.
The 12-hour battery life is another standout feature, allowing you to go through a full day without worrying about running out of juice. Whether you’re studying at the library or working remotely, Lenovo’s new Chromebooks are up to the task.
Built for Learning
The Chromebook Duet EDU G2 is specifically tailored to meet the needs of students and teachers. Besides its rugged build, it comes with Chrome Education Upgrade, a feature that allows IT administrators to manage multiple Chromebooks at once. With a single cloud-based console, schools can deploy new devices, configure settings, and customize features quickly and efficiently. This system makes the Duet EDU G2 an ideal choice for educational institutions looking to streamline technology in the classroom.
The design considerations of the Duet EDU G2 are practical, with reinforced ports and a keyboard that’s ready for the challenges of an academic setting. Students will appreciate the flexibility of a detachable keyboard, giving them the option to work as they prefer, whether typing or using the touchscreen.
Stylish and Eco-Friendly
Aside from performance, Lenovo hasn’t skimped on sustainability. Both the Chromebook Duet (11″, 9) and Duet EDU G2 are ENERGY STAR® certified and EPEAT® Gold registered, reflecting Lenovo’s commitment to eco-friendly practices. These certifications mean the devices are energy-efficient and meet strict environmental standards.
Lenovo also includes a 3-month subscription to Gemini Advanced, adding extra value to these Chromebooks right out of the box. With sleek designs, powerful hardware, and sustainability at their core, these Chromebooks are perfect for anyone who values both form and function.
In terms of availability, the Chromebook Duet (11″, 9) starts at $339.99, while the Chromebook Duet EDU G2 is priced at $319. Both models are now available in North America, making them an excellent option for students, teachers, and professionals alike.
