Our Verdict

Lenovo Chromebook Duet (2020)

Microsoft Surface Go 3 (2021)

The Microsoft Surface Go 3 (2021) and the Lenovo Chromebook Duet (2020) are both 2-in-1 convertible laptops with a kickstand and detachable keyboard. However, the Microsoft runs Windows, while the Lenovo runs Chrome OS. The Microsoft is better for most uses, but the Lenovo has much longer battery life, and it might be a better choice if you intend to use it as a tablet because Chrome OS is easier to navigate through touch input.
