Our Verdict
Acer Chromebook Plus 514 (2023)
Lenovo Chromebook Duet Gen 9 11 (2024)
The Lenovo Chromebook Duet Gen 9 11 (2024) and the Acer Chromebook Plus 514 (2023) are both budget Chrome OS devices. However, the Duet Gen 9 is a tablet with a detachable keyboard, while the 514 is a more traditional clamshell model. If you mostly use the device as a media consumption device, the Duet is the better choice because it has a much nicer screen, and the ability to detach the keyboard comes in handy when you don't have a lot of desk space. The 514 has a better keyboard and touchpad, making it more pleasant to work on. Its 14-inch display also gives you more screen real estate to multitask, but the quality of the display isn't nearly as good as that of the Duet.
