The bezels surrounding the screen aren’t the thinnest we’ve seen on a tablet, but they don’t get in the way or add any sort of distraction. The front of the Duet is taken up almost entirely by the 10.1-inch 1080p display. There’s a single USB-C port on the right side of the Duet, near the bottom, along with a small indicator light that puts checking on the Duet’s charge status just a glance away. Granted, you can hold the Duet however you want, because the screen will rotate on its own, but there’s a bit of mental reassurance in knowing that if the blue section of the tablet is at the top, then the volume controls and power button are on the right side of the housing, and the pogo pins that connect it to the included keyboard are along the bottom, ready to dock the tablet at a moment’s notice. The breakup in color makes it easy to identify which side of the Duet should be facing up when you’re holding it in landscape mode. The majority of the back housing is iron gray, but it switches to ice blue for a small section of the housing, where you’ll also find the rear 8-megapixel camera. The aluminum housing has a premium feel and two-tone color scheme. On its own, it weighs 0.99 pounds and is an impressive 0.29 inches thin.
In total, with the cover and keyboard installed, the Duet weighs a light 2.03 pounds and is only 0.71 inches thick. Our favorite aspect of the Duet’s design is its size. In fact, we would have expected this tablet to start around $399, if not higher. Judging the Duet on design merits alone, we would have never guessed its $279 starting price point.
