Lenovo's new Chromebook Duet 5 looks like it should last as long or longer, as the company claims its 42WHr battery will deliver up to 15 hours of use on a single charge. Lenovo advertised it as lasting up to 10 hours on a single charge, but in our lab testing it actually lasted 12 hours and 47 minutes, blowing most tablets and Chromebooks out of the water.
One of the big selling points of the original Chromebook Duet was its remarkable battery life. Storage-wise, you'll get an eMMC SSD with up to 256 GB of space, which is slim - but you really don't need a ton of storage space on Chromebooks since you're meant to mostly rely on websites and web apps. The new Chromebook Duet 5 looks like it will pack a smidge more power, as it will ship with a Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 processor and up to 8 GB of RAM. The original Lenovo Chromebook Duet packed 4 GB of RAM and a Mediatek Helio P60T 2.0GHz octa-core CPU, which was enough to handle most light web browsing and run a few games at middling speeds.
Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5: PerformanceĬhromebooks aren't known for packing powerful components, because Chrome OS has a limited scope and doesn't require much to run well. So far it doesn't appear to have a headphone jack, so you may be stuck using Bluetooth headphones if you want to jam out or get some privacy during video calls. There's also a pogo pin connector along the bottom edge of the tablet, which is where you plug in the included keyboard cover when it's time to shift out of tablet mode.
