It’s a traditional notebook (that is, it’s not a 2-in-1 of any kind) that scores well in just about all of our tests. Chromebook Dvs.The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15ALC6 is a solid laptop that somewhat blurs the lines between entry-level and mid-tier models. In our Duet 3 review, we couldn't get Aether SX2 to load our ROMs properly without tinkering around with some settings, and even then, it wasn't an enjoyable experience. The downside here is that Lenovo stuck with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of eMMC storage with the Duet 3, the same as its predecessor. The original Chromebook Duet is starting to show its age, whereas the Duet 3 offers plenty of power. Of course, this isn't as powerful as something like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 found in something like the Galaxy Tab S8, but it still offers plenty of power. The Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 is also much more performant, capable of handling much of what you would want to get done throughout the day. Powered by the Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 chip, the Duet 3 is touted as getting up to 12 hours of battery life, providing an additional two hours compared to the original. This larger display means that the Duet 3 is heavier, however, it's still plenty comfortable to hold and use without the detachable keyboard.Īnother area where the Chromebook Duet 3 excels is in battery life and performance. There are some that might bemoan the larger form factor, but an almost-11-inch tablet is still more than suitable for those who want to sit back and chill out on the couch. Everything from your favorite movies and TV shows to the best Android games simply looks better on the larger screen. This has been upsized and upgraded to a 10.9-inch screen sporting a 2K (2000 x 1200) resolution, while still using an IPS panel.

The Chromebook Duet continues to be heralded as one of the most portable solutions out there, thanks to its 10.1-inch FHD+ panel. This segues perfectly into the display differences between these two tablets. (Image credit: Andrew Myrick / Android Central)
