Embracing the unique aspect of the tablet design, Lenovo has outfitted the Duet 3 with front and rear cameras. There's also a hole in the back cover, which accommodates a rear-facing camera. It's a design that borrows more from the Microsoft Surface line of tablets than it does from the average Chromebook. The Duet 3 also has a back cover with a built-in kickstand, providing you support for the tablet in lieu of a regular laptop hinge. And with a touch screen close at hand, the touchpad isn't the only option for touch interaction. The touchpad is quite small-not unexpected given the dimensions of the keyboard cover-but it seemed to track all of my gestures and taps accurately. It's similar in most respects to the keyboard covers used on more expensive Microsoft Surface tablets, like the Microsoft Surface Pro 8, with convenient magnetic attachment and square tiled keys that offer a surprisingly good typing feel.

The keys are comfortably spaced and thoughtfully shaped, and the switches offer a bit more vertical travel than the average keyboard cover. But the bigger surprise is that the keyboard, while small, offers a pretty great typing experience. The keyboard cover is included with the tablet, which is a pleasant surprise given that many 2-in-1 designs, such as the Microsoft Surface Go 2, sell their keyboard separately. Instead, it's a 2-in-1 detachable design, pairing an 11-inch tablet with a magnetically attached keyboard that doubles as a screen cover.

The Lenovo Duet 3 Chromebook eschews the standard laptop clamshell form factor that's so common among Chrome machines.
