The 7000mAh battery charges via an included 5V/2.0Amp adapter, and gave us almost six hours of life on a single charge in our heavy usage test. The tablet also has two cameras: a 2MP (megapixel) front camera and 8MP rear camera.
CHROMEBOOK DUET BLUETOOTH
Wireless connectivity comes via Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), which gave us very good speed, and Bluetooth 4.2. Performance is modest, as you'd expect from a tiny tablet, but adequate for everyday tasks. There's 4GB RAM (memory) and 128GB onboard solid-state flash storage. The processor is an eight-core MediaTek P60T, with Integrated ARM Mali-G72 MP3 GPU for graphics.
CHROMEBOOK DUET PLUS
It has excellent vertical and horizontal viewing angles, plus it supports 10-point multi-touch for Chromebook gestures. With a screen resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels, the 10.1-inch touchscreen displays higher than full-HD and though glossy, it has a good anti-reflective coating to cut down glare. The keyboard attaches magnetically with pin connectors, removing the need for Bluetooth connection. The touchpad didn't always work though, with some taps failing to register and requiring more than a couple of taps to work. The keys themselves are comfortable to hit. The keyboard feels good to type on, but is a little cramped, as you would expect with a 10-inch device. We found that when the keyboard is closed over the screen, it doesn't sit perfectly, and it is easy for the keyboard's attachment to come loose if you try to align it perfectly against the tablet edge. In that way, it's similar to Microsoft Surface products, except the keyboard attachment has to be sitting flat, rather than sitting angled up against the screen as with Surface devices. The kickstand allows it to be used at many tilt angles, but means you can't use it easily in your lap or bed. The IdeaPad Duet has a stylish design in dual-tone Ice Blue and Iron Grey, with a fabric-textured back cover and Surface-style stand for stability (let's call it a kickstand for convenience).
The keyboard and back cover/stand protects it when folded, but adds to the thickness.
