Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 vs Lenovo Chromebook Duet 11 (Gen 9)

The Chromebook Plus 14 is the stronger machine: an OLED touchscreen, a much faster Intel chip with a 50 TOPS NPU, 12GB of faster memory, Wi-Fi 7 and a 60Wh battery. The Duet 11 is a 1.1 lb tablet that ships with a folio keyboard and USI Pen, so it doubles as a note-taking device. Reviewers rate the Plus 14 well at 4.6 out of 5, and owners of the Duet line praise the portability but accept slower performance. Buy the Plus 14 for real work and media; buy the Duet 11 for a second, travel-friendly device.

• Choose the Chromebook Plus 14 if you want one laptop for writing, photo editing, streaming and long days away from an outlet.
• Choose the Chromebook Duet 11 if you want a light tablet with a keyboard and pen for notes, reading and light browsing on the go.
