Moreover, both USB-C ports support Power Delivery 3.0 and DisplayPort 1.4. The Bluetooth 5.1 connection easily paired with my favorite headphones and other accessories such as mice and keyboards. The Wi-Fi worked really well and delivered excellent browsing speeds.

To start, there’s Wi-Fi 6 on board, as well as Bluetooth 5.1. Connectivity: When it comes to connectivity, Lenovo dialed in the right specs.I wasn’t expecting the best from this affordable machine, but I was hoping for somewhat better, at least from the webcam, considering how important video calls have become over the last two years. For a webcam, it doesn’t handle low light very well and is grainy almost to a fault. The rear-facing camera is okay when it comes to capturing basic shots when you’re out and about, but the photos were never that sharp and often lacked dynamic range or appealing color. Cameras: The Duet 5 has two cameras: an 8MP rear-facing camera and a 5MP user-facing webcam.In other words, it’ll stay secure and current until late 2029. Updates/support: Lenovo has committed to providing eight years of Chrome updates for the Duet 5.On the whole, Chrome OS ran really well on the Duet 5. Lenovo didn’t add any special software to jazz up the experience.

The Chromebook ships with the Google Play Store and runs Android apps without issue. It worked as quickly and as seamlessly as most other recent versions of Chrome OS.

Chrome OS: The Lenovo Ideapad Duet 5 Chromebook was running Chrome OS 97 while we tested it.

Today, as found by redditor crakb and reported by Chrome Unboxed, we’ve got our first concrete details of Lenovo’s USI stylus including full images, as it’s now been listed with the FCC under the name “Lenovo USI Pen. When the IdeaPad Duet launched, Lenovo confirmed to us that they had plans to launch their own USI stylus, but couldn’t yet share any of the specifics. For example, our own Ben Schoon took some time to demonstrate the USI experience on Chrome OS by connecting an HP stylus to the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet, which is USI compatible. The aim of the Universal Stylus Initiative is to make it so that if you invest in a stylus of similar quality to the Apple Pencil or Pixelbook Pen, you’ll be able to use it on more than just one specific device. Lenovo’s upcoming “USI Pen,” built to complement their recent IdeaPad Duet tablet, has just been revealed in detail by the FCC. Thanks to the recent Universal Stylus Initiative (USI), it’s slowly becoming possible for fine-tuned, pressure-sensitive styluses to be cross-compatible between devices.
