October 1, 2024 – Lenovo elevates productivity and enjoyment on-the-go with Chromebook Duet (11”, 9) and Chromebook Duet EDU G2, two 10.95-inch convertible laptops with 2K display that balance design and performance.

A learning resource for students and teachers, the Chromebook Duet EDU G2 takes durability to the next level with a rugged case and detachable keyboard.

Flexibility and Durability Simplified

Designed for users in motion, the Lenovo Chromebook Duet (11”, 9) comes with a thoughtful kickstand that adapts to the user’s needs, effortlessly transitioning between laptop and portrait mode for easy reading, sketching, browsing, or blazing through tasks.

Discreetly hiding in the kickstand, the Lenovo USI Pen 2 perfectly complements the tablet, allowing users to sketch, take notes, and sign documents like a real pen. With the Lenovo USI Pen 2, users can also capture, organize, and express their ideas on Goodnotes.

Coming in at under 1.2 lbs. and 0.3-inches thick, the Lenovo Chromebook Duet (11”, 9) weighs less and is thinner than most books, has an ultra-clear 2K 400-nit display for easy reading and entertainment or streaming even outdoors, and has full-day power with up to 12-hour battery life¹. In addition, it is adventure-ready with a MIL-STD 810H certified² chassis capable of handling bumps and splashes.

Productivity and Creativity Amplified

The Lenovo Chromebook Duet (11”, 9) with MediaTek Kompanio 838 processor, up to 8GB of memory⁶ and an AI-enabled NPU, enjoys on-device graphic AI processing, improved palm rejection and camera clarity, and takes your specs even further for interactive multimedia experiences.

To showcase the 2K display, the Lenovo Chromebook Duet (11”, 9) features an 8MP rear camera, enhanced by MediaTek’s cutting-edge image processing technology, capturing and enhancing all those impromptu moments clearly before they disappear and a 5MP front camera with physical shutter for privacy.

Learning and Security Upgraded
