The Lenovo ChromebookDuet3 and HP Chromebookx211 are both small Chrome OS tablets that compete well with the Apple iPad. Which is the better option for you?
Several small Chrome OS tablets are on the market that compete directly with Apple’s iPad. Two of the best are HP’s Chromebook x2 11 and Lenovo’s Chromebook Duet 3. The previous version of the Chromebook Duet, in fact, is on our list of best budget laptops, soon to be replaced by the newer model.
Aesthetically, the Chromebook x2 11 is an all-silver slate that’s minimalistic and attractive. The Chromebook Duet 3 comes in two colors, Misty Blue and Storm Gray, and in both cases has a two-tone design that’s darker along the bottom tw0-thirds and lighter along the top. It, too, is a simple slate design with little to make it stand out.
Connectivity was almost identical, with two USB-C ports and no 3.5mm audio jack — you’ll be relying on Bluetooth for headphones or external speakers. The Chromebook x2 11 does have a microSD card reader, which is a plus, along with a SIM slot for the optional 4G LTE. In addition, both tablets are limited by the Qualcomm chipset to Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.1.
At least as far as CPU performance goes, these two tablets are evenly matched. My Chromebook x2 11 review unit came with 8GB of RAM, providing more multitasking overhead than the Chromebook Duet 3’s 4GB. The Lenovo lists up to 8GB in its specifications, although I couldn’t find that configuration available yet for purchase. With the same number of Chrome tabs and Android apps open, both tablets performed the same.
Both panels support an active pen, which is optional on both tablets. I was able to test the pen on the Chromebook x2 11, and it worked fine in support of the Chrome OS suite of inking functions. The pen wasn’t included with my Chromebook Duet 3 review unit, so I couldn’t test the Lenovo active pen. Both laptops will get you through a full day’s work, but the Lenovo will keep you bingeing Netflix for a little longer.
