In a significant advancement for portable computing, Lenovo has launched the Chromebook Plus 14, boasting cutting-edge AI capabilities and a suite of innovative software features designed to enhance user productivity. This new model is positioned as the most powerful Chromebook Plus yet and caters to the needs of those who juggle a multitude of tasks daily.
The Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 is powered by the new MediaTek Kompanio Ultra processor, the strongest ARM chip ever featured in a Chromebook. With an impressive neural processing unit (NPU) capable of 50 TOPS, it can effortlessly handle demanding AI tasks. Users can also expect long-lasting productivity with up to 17 hours of battery life, the longest ever for a Chromebook Plus. Notably, this model is the first in its line to support Dolby Atmos, alongside premium hardware features such as an OLED display and a fingerprint scanner.
This new Chromebook comes equipped with two exclusive software capabilities driven by on-device machine learning, aimed at improving efficiency. The Smart grouping feature intelligently categorizes open tabs and documents based on user tasks, allowing for seamless project management. Additionally, the AI image editing function in the Gallery app facilitates easy edits by allowing users to remove backgrounds and create stickers directly from their image library.
Lenovo doesn’t stop at the Chromebook Plus 14. A range of AI-enhanced features is being rolled out across the entire Chromebook Plus lineup, aiming to simplify everyday tasks through integration with ChromeOS. For instance, the Select to search with Lens feature allows users to obtain instant information about objects on their screens, transforming their interaction with the digital environment without leaving their current task.
Additional features include Text capture, which extracts editable text from images like receipts and handwritten notes. This streamlines data entry by enabling users to transfer the information directly into Google Calendar or Docs with a single click. The Quick Insert key helps generate AI-created images or insert photos and emojis swiftly, while the Help me read function not only summarizes text but also simplifies complex language for better understanding.
Purchasing a Chromebook Plus now includes access to the Google AI Pro plan, providing 2TB of cloud storage and enhanced capabilities within Gmail and Docs for 12 months. Moreover, popular applications are being optimized for Chromebook, with Netflix’s game Squid Game: Unleashed and Luminar photo editing software now more accessible for users.
