Amazon's Spring Deal Days sale is live in the UK, but one of the best Chromebook deals I've seen all year is not getting the attention it deserves. For a limited time, you can get a stellar 57% slashed off the price of the Lenovo IdeaPad Chromebook Duet 11, a historic discount that drops the price of the laptop down to just £149.99!
What the Chromebook lacks in power it makes up in general versatility. Weighing just 510g, the versatile device comes with an 11-inch display, detachable keyboard, and up to 12 hours of battery life on a single charge.
The Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 11 is essentially a versatile Chromebook and Android tablet all rolled into one, with a vibrant 11-inch FHD+ WUXGA display, MediaTek processor, and up to 12 hours of battery life.
Your purchase also comes with a detachable keyboard and stand so you can easily convert the device from a laptop into a tablet and back again whenever you want. For just £149.99, the Chrombook also gets you 4GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a 5MP camera (with privacy shutter) for video calls.
Of course, this is still a cheap Chromebook, so don't expect a ton of premium features straight out of the box. The Lenovo Duet 11, for instance, lacks support for expandable storage via microSD, and the detachable keyboard may not feel as sturdy or as reliable if you're switching from a traditional laptop. The 4GB of RAM may also not be sufficient for some online games or heavy file management.
That said, if you just need a simple device for streaming, studying, or surfing the web, the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 11 will do the trick for cheap — particularly if you can add on a 57% discount from Amazon.
