After a long absence, the 8GB Lenovo Duet 11 is back in stock and on sale for just $279

For months, one of our favorite and most-recommended Chromebook tablets has been frustratingly hard to find. While the base 4GB model of the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 11″ has been around, the top-tier 8GB version with the included USI pen has been largely missing in action.

Well, we have great news to kick off the weekend. Not only is that highly sought-after 8GB model finally back in stock, it’s also on sale for a massive $120 off, bringing the price down to just $279.99. This is, without question, one of the best deals currently available on what I still consider the best Chromebook tablet you can buy.

A quick reminder of why this is the best Chromebook tablet

The Lenovo Chromebook Duet 11″ is the total package. It’s a device that gets all the important things right. For your $279, you get the tablet, the excellent keyboard cover, the clever dual-orientation kickstand back, and the precise Lenovo USI 2.0 Pen all in the box. But the excellence doesn’t stop with the included accessories. The device itself is fantastic, with:

• A gorgeous and bright 11-inch 400-nit 2K display.
• Solid performance from the MediaTek Kompanio 838 and 8GB of RAM.
• Great, all-day battery life of 10+ hours.
• Great cameras (5MP front/8MP rear) that are a huge step up from most Chromebooks.
• A well-thought-out design with secure, magnetic pen storage.

It’s an incredibly capable and wildly flexible Chromebook that feels completely considered from top to bottom. For this price, there are simply no other detachable Chromebooks that get you close to this level of quality and usability.

Given how long this specific model has been out of stock, we have no idea how long this new inventory will last, especially at this price. If you’ve been waiting to get your hands on the best Chromebook tablet experience out there, now is absolutely the time to pull the trigger.
