The good times in September have just begun. Lenovo announced a series of interesting new devices that will arrive in time for the 2021 holiday boom. Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5

The original Chromebook Duet was released about a year and a half ago, but the wait for an upgraded version is finally over. The Chromebook Duet 5 has a larger display and a faster processor, while maintaining the shape we love.

Obviously, Duet's successor needs an upgraded chipset, which is what Lenovo provides by including Snapdragon 7c Gen 2. It is equipped with up to 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of eMMC storage, and a battery that can be used for up to 15 hours on a single charge.

Lenovo decided to make the Chromebook Duet something more useful for those who want to do some work, or just for those who want a bigger screen. From 10.1 inches to 13.3 inches may be a bit harsh for some people, but the panel is now also OLED instead of IPS LCD, which is another move in the right direction.

We also have an additional USB-C port, two in total, and a Pogo Pin connector for the included (and detachable) keyboard. The Chromebook Duet 5 starts at $430, and Lenovo will release the device "from October 2021."

Although the Chromebook Duet 5 may eventually become the most popular tablet, the Lenovo Tab P12 Pro is likely to be the most attractive. Samsung has been at the top of Android tablets for a long time, but Tab P12 Pro may change this.

It is equipped with a 12.6-inch AMOLED display and a faster 120Hz refresh rate, as well as a resolution of 2560 x 1600. Powering the device is the Snapdragon 870 SoC, equipped with 6GB or 8GB RAM and up to 256GB of expandable storage. The battery life should also be very long, reaching a rated value of 17 hours on a single charge, while also supporting a charging speed of up to 45W.

But perhaps the greatest benefit of Tab P12 Pro comes from Project Unity. According to Lenovo, this "effectively turns the device into a smart companion for Windows 10 or 11 Lenovo PCs." Imagine using Sidecar's iPad and MacBook, but for Windows. This is something that Windows users have always wanted, and Lenovo hopes to achieve it. 

The Tab P12 Pro starts at US$610. Like the Chromebook Duet 5, the Tab P12 Pro will be available in October.

The latest exciting tablet released is the Lenovo Tab P11 5G. This is Lenovo's first "consumer" Android tablet with 5G connectivity. But the biggest benefit is the portability provided by the lightweight form factor. With the 11-inch display, you can put it in your bag and stay in touch throughout the day.

This IPS LCD monitor has even passed TÜV certification, which can help you keep your eyes healthy even if you stare at the screen all day. For those who want to use it while working efficiently, there is an optional keyboard case and support for Lenovo Precision Pen 2.

Under the hood, Lenovo includes the Snapdragon 750G with 6GB or 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage space. With a 7,700mAh battery, Tab P11 5G can last up to 14 hours on a single charge, while supporting a 20W charging speed.

Lenovo Tab P11 5G will not be available in North America at this time, but it will be released in October for 499 euros (excluding VAT) in other regions.

Concluding today’s announcement, we have another option for Lenovo’s smart wireless earbuds in the overcrowded earbuds market. Some of the features provided by smart wireless earbuds include Lenovo Smart Pairing, which is no different from Google's quick pairing technology. With Lenovo Enhanced Multipoint, you can connect Earbuds to up to two devices at the same time.

The onboard active noise reduction feature is impressive when you consider that they cost only $99. According to the announcement, smart wireless earbuds can "reduce up to 38 decibels of environmental noise", which helps to keep them within the range of Nothing Earbuds. 

Other features of Smart Wireless Earbuds include up to 28 hours of battery life on a single charge, including up to 7 hours of juice before relying on the wireless charging box. With the help of the companion app, you can not only customize the gestures, but also activate the hands-free use of Google Assistant.

Lenovo's smart wireless earplugs are priced at US$99 and will be available in the third quarter of 2021.

Oppo will release their first foldable phone on December 15 next week, which they dubbed Oppo Find N.
