I began wondering about this as I debate whether to buy the new Lenovo Chromebook Duet when it is available somewhere (other than in reviewers&#8217; hands). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aboutchromebooks.com\/news\/299-lenovo-duet-chromebook-first-impressions-positive-as-long-as-you-keep-expectations-in-check\/\">AboutChromebook&#8217;s<\/a> Kevin Tofel noted that he is not a fan of benchmarks. However, people always ask (like me). So, he provided a set of results from multiple tests and the Duet clocked in at 46.07. Being too lazy to run the full set myself, I choose Speedometer 2.0 as a representative test to compare against a couple of devices I have for testing. Note that results appear to vary because Kevin&#8217;s Speedometer 2.0 result for the Acer Chromebook Spin 13 was 104 while mine is 61.80. I checked and we have the same model (CPU, memory, etc.).<\/li>\n<li>Jon\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Using his Apple Watch to its full potential.<\/li>\n<li>iOS text messages &#038; multiple devices &#8211; notifications problem<\/li>\n<li>Still struggling with URL Schemes with Microsoft Office (why doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t ms-excel:\/\/ always open in office or Excel &#8211; WHY would it open Onedrive?!?)<\/li>\n<li>Revisiting the Microsoft Whiteboard app<\/li>\n<li>Microsoft Office app for iOS and Android<\/li>\n<li>Jon\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Struggle to use a Apple 27\u00e2\u20ac\u2122\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Cinema Display (2010, not thunderbolt, Mini-Displayport) with USB C.
