Our Verdict

Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 (2021)

Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3 (2022)

The Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5 (2021) is essentially a larger version of the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 3 (2022) with an OLED display. The Duet 5 is better for media consumption because its OLED screen displays deeper blacks and more vibrant colors; however, it doesn't get as bright as the Duet 3, so you may have more problems with visibility in well-lit rooms. The only other notable difference is the battery life; the Duet 3 lasts longer if you only perform light tasks like web browsing, but the Duet 5 lasts longer for video playback.
