The Lenovo Chromebook Duet 11 is one of today's many great 2-in-1 tablet and laptop options, featuring a basic touchscreen and detachable keyboard that are perfect for those on the go.

The Duet 11 has a 10.95-inch IPS touch display with a 60Hz refresh rate, as well as 4GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a MediaTek Kompanio 800 CPU. Lenovo says it'll get up to 12 hours of battery life per charge, and it also includes a 5MP front camera and an 8MP rear camera. It also runs the light and smooth Chrome OS, and while it isn't offering anything too terribly powerful on the performance side, it's fast enough for most casual users performing basic tasks. As for connectivity, the Duet 11 includes a 3.5mm jack and two USB-C ports.

In any case, it's a pretty decent deal for under $300, if you are in fact looking for a 2-in-1 tablet-laptop combo.
