"Lenovo's Chromebook Duet 11 has made me a believer": The stellar 2-in-1 Chromebook hits an all-time low for Black Friday
Black Friday sales have come early to the laptop that made me a Chromebook convert

While I'm still too much of a power user to ditch my laptop entirely, the Chromebook Duet 11 Gen 9 packs enough of a punch to handle most ChromeOS and Android applications from the Play Store and is an incredible value purchase if you need a tablet to augment your productivity or if you need a solid, reliable Chromebook for your kids. We've ranked it as our Best Chromebook for kids for good reason.
The best deal on this little Chromebook comes to us from Best Buy, where it's on sale for just $269, for a total savings of $110.
