Why you should buy the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3

Lenovo makes some of the best Chromebooks around which makes a lot of sense given its reputation as one of the best laptop brands. In the case of the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3, it’s simple yet just what you need from a Chromebook. If you want something portable to take to class or something for your daily commute, it should suit those needs.

There’s a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 processor along with 4GB of memory and 128GB of eMMC storage. As always with Chromebooks, the focus here is on you using Google Apps and cloud-based storage so you don’t need much power. Better however is the 10.95-inch 2K touchscreen with a resolution of 2000 x 1200. For this small a display, it looks particularly crisp with 400 nits of brightness further helping wherever you may be working. Being a touchscreen also means you can use it in tablet mode with a detachable keyboard making things more flexible. It’s a great screen for watching your favorite shows before switching back to getting some work done. There’s also support for a stylus although you’ll need to buy it separately.

Elsewhere, a 5MP fixed-focus and 8P auto-focus set of lens help for taking the odd photo or partaking in video calls so you won’t miss out on any work-based needs when using the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3. It’s worth catching up on the differences between a Chromebook and laptop before you dive in but most people will be satisfied with a Chromebook for occasional work on the move.

Usually priced at $379, the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3 is down to $269 for a limited time only at Lenovo. Stock is likely to be popular so don’t delay if it’s the Chromebook for you. Hit the buy button now before you miss out.

Some of the best laptop deals at the moment are courtesy of Best Buy's 3-day sale. A whole host of different laptops from popular brands are on sale right now so there's something for everyone. If you're looking for a cheap laptop for occasional use or you're seeking out a high-end gaming laptop, Best Buy has something that's going to suit you. We've picked out some of our highlights below.
Asus 14-inch laptop -- $130, was $250

Incredibly basic, the Asus 14-inch laptop isn't a smart move if you need to use a laptop regularly but if you seriously need the most basic system around and you can't afford more, it'll do the trick. It has an Intel Celeron processor along with 4GB of memory and 64GB of eMMC storage. This Chromebook level of performance but it runs Windows 11 in S Mode. Predictably, it's going to be slow going for many tasks but if you desperately need a Windows-based machine, it could be worth the very low asking price. A 12-hour battery life is a useful bonus too.

That's basic stuff but it'll run Windows 11 Home which is included if you don't need it to juggle multiple apps at once or anything too demanding.
