The same goes for the cameras – a 5MP front and 8MP rear – and they perform as you’d expect. The side-firing speakers aren’t terrible, but they aren’t great, either in our early tests. With those specs we get the now-familiar Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 processor, a bright, vibrant 1920×1200 11-inch IPS display, and a form factor that feels great in one hand and still has enough screen real estate to get some work done. This is the sort of thing we expect from devices like the Duet, however, and I’d imagine we’ll continue to see discounts from here on out. As we were filming the video, Lenovo had it on sale for $259, but it has since returned to $299 for the time being.

Like other Duet products, the kickstand back plate and keyboard are included in the box and this version we have (with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of eMMC storage) has already been marked down from the $369 MSRP a few times. It’s an inelegant solution to a pen holder, but at least it is included.

Additionally, Lenovo included the rubber pen holder as well that attaches to the back kickstand plate: something we’ve been interested in for months at this point but never had a chance to try. You get a 30W charging block with an included USB Type C cable just like we see in the Duet 5 box. The packaging is pleasant and clean, making the initial introduction of the device a bit nicer than your average Chromebook. For the box, things are similar to what we saw with the previous Duet and the newer Duet 5.
