So, you want to know about the Duet’s ports? I’d remove the “s” - this Chromebook only has one USB Type-C port that supports power charging, data transfer, DisplayPort and USB on-the-go. The miniature Chrome OS laptop is smaller than its rivals: the Samsung Chromebook 3’s footprint is 11 x 8 x 0.7 inches while the HP Chromebook x360 12b takes up 11 x 9 x 0.7 inches. The Lenovo Chromebook Duet with the keyboard and kickstand cover has the dimensions of 9.6 x 6.7 x 0.7 inches while the tablet alone is 9.4 x 6.3 x 0.3 inches. The Duet weighs less than its competitors: the Samsung Chromebook 3 (2.5 pounds) and the HP Chromebook x360 12b (3 pounds). The whole package, stand cover and keyboard included, weighs only 2 pounds. The Lenovo Chromebook Duet is a featherweight machine that can fit snugly in the small compartment of my travel tote. If you're looking for a stylus that your child could use on a student-friendly Chromebook, there are a few extra things to be mindful of: you'll want a more durable stylus with a wider grip like the Ciscle Youth Series or the Cosmonaut, but be mindful that wider-tipped stylus can be harder to find replacement tips for - and kids will break the tips far more often.You can also fold the laptop into a book-like form and onlookers would be amazed to discover that you’re not holding a little notebook. Thirdly, Adonit knows how to make a good stylus, but the Mini 4 allows you to get that experience without dropping a week's worth of grocery money on it. The color selection here is subdued but colorful and diverse the Royal Blue has just the right amount of pop and the Olive Green looks exceptional, too. Still, I'm a fan of the Adonit Mini 4 for three reasons: you can't lose the cap because you unscrew the entire bottom of the pen to reveal the precision tip. Most of the best Chromebooks still use good old-fashioned capacitive styli, which means that there are millions of stylus tips, shapes, and sizes to choose from.
