This week on The Chrome Cast, we begin the show by talking about Apple’s latest announcements from WWDC 2022. With a new ARM-based M2 chip, a new Macbook Air, a confusing Macbook Pro with the M2 chip, and an interesting new multitasking tool in Stage Manager, there was a fair bit to discuss on the […]

The new Lenovo Duet 3 is available on Lenovo’s website
During MWC 2022, we had the chance to get some hands-on time with an early model of the new Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3 and it’s not an overstatement to say that we all absolutely loved Lenovo’s newest, smaller tablet. At 11-inches, it’s a great size with a fantastic keyboard/trackpad, bright screen and nice, fast internals. […]
Continue Reading[UPDATED: In Stock] You can now buy the Snapdragon-powered Lenovo Duet 5 Chromebook
Update: I’m not sure if this is a result of the popularity of this device or perhaps Best Buy listed it early but the Duet 5 is now showing as “sold out.” We will update when the listing goes live again. Update #2: It appears that the Lenovo Duet 5 Chromebook is once again available […]
Continue ReadingThe OLED-toting Lenovo Duet 5 Chromebook has arrived at Best Buy, but…
Last week, we received a tip that Lenovo’s upcoming Snapdragon-powered Duet 5 Chromebook tablet would soon be arriving at select Costco stores. We don’t have a solid release date for that model at this time and the 13.3″ tablet has yet to show up on Costco’s website. Thankfully, this isn’t the only configuration of the […]
Continue ReadingA few reasons why the Lenovo Duet 5 should outperform other Snapdragon Chromebooks
We’re not too far out from the release of the recently-announced Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 and in preparation of this device’s arrival, we’ve been doing a bit of research around the 2nd-gen Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c that will be powering this interesting detachable Chromebook.

Continue ReadingExclusive: the ASUS Chromebook Flip CM3000 tablet is the first real Lenovo Duet contender
Since its introduction over a year ago at this point, the Lenovo Chromebook Duet has been in a league all its own. After all, before it arrived and since it began shipping, there’s not been a Chromebook quite like it. Lenovo upended the low end of the Chromebook spectrum with a solid tablet that can […]
Continue ReadingDeal Alert: The Lenovo Duet is on sale right now, but you’ll have to act fast if you want one
The Lenovo Chromebook Duet is one of the most popular tablet-style Chromebooks. It’s pretty much uncontested and has little to do with the fact that it’s one of the only tablet-style Chromebooks on the market, in my opinion. While that does play into the equation a bit, it has rock-solid performance for a media consumption […]
Continue ReadingChromebooks are scarce but the Lenovo Duet is back in stock, for now
Yesterday, we spent a good hour and a half trying find any Chromebooks that are in stock and actually worth buying. Needless to say, our efforts were not greatly rewarded. The unfortunate truth is that PCs, in general, are in short supply at retailers across the country. Since Chrome OS dominating the US classroom, Chromebooks […]

I’ll say this right up front: the Lenovo Chromebook Duet is quite awesome just the way it is. There’s so much to love for the price and for many, many users out there, it already feels just about perfect. It has a high-quality, attractive build, a fantastic screen, a keyboard accessory in the box, and […]
Continue ReadingThe Lenovo Duet Chromebook will launch in at least these 5 markets
We are in new Chromebooks season around here with the recent launches of the ASUS Chromebook Flip C436 and the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook, but I’d wager there is even more excitement building over the imminent launch of the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet Chromebook. When we had our hands-on time with the device back at CES 2020 […]

We’re still a couple of months out from the release of what could be the most successful consumer-focused Chrome OS tablets ever made.
