These are impressive specifications on a laptop starting at a mere 450 Euros and, not only that, but it looked extremely good when we had the chance to go hands-on with it at MWC. Lenovo also says it can reproduce 100% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut, which is very good for a budget laptop, and the screen is rated at a bright 400cd/m². Its IPS panel is larger than the previous model at 11.5in across the diagonal, up from 10.3in, and the resolution is an impressively sharp 2K (2,000 x 1,200) as well. However, it’s the upgraded screen that’s the star here. And that portability goes hand in hand with handsome looks the 'Abyss Blue' model with its two-tone finish looks particularly natty. That makes it light enough to carry around in a laptop bag with you all day, whether you choose to take the tablet on its own or the keyboard and tablet combo. The tablet measures 271 x 9 x 172mm (WDH) and weighs 697g and that rises to 1.15kg with the keyboard case attached. It’s a small and compact machine and feels nicely made, too. Note, howeaver, that you cannot tilt the rear of the keyboard up and attach it magnetically to the bottom part of the tablet as you can with devices like the Microsoft Surface Pro 9.

They keyboard, too, was comfortable to type on with plenty of key travel and a soft, well damped feel.

Whether you think this is a forwards or backwards step is up to you but it seemed to work well enough when I went hands on with it at MWC. It's different this year, though, as the last Duet had a built-in kickstand on the tablet itself. This attaches magnetically to the tablet and connects via pogo pins, with the keyboard folding around to protect the screen when it's folded up. Just like previous Lenovo IdeaPad Duets, the IdeaPad Duet 3i is a Windows tablet that comes with a detachable keyboard case.
