What do you need for your Chromebook that is for you? If you are mostly like people who buy cheap chromos-based laptops, you want it to reach a browser and if you are feeling particularly spicy-maybe some selected Android apps. The most important elements for these mild chlamsheles are usually whether it can rapidly load the webpage, it has a long-luxurious battery, and if it has a quality performance for your average Netflix and Chil session. With its latest updates, Google and Lenovo are asking consumers whether they are ready to give up more money on Chromebook, potentially more powerful to run some AI apps on-devices.
In $ 650 Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14, your average low-end chip is designed for light PCs. Laptop Sports 16 GB Ram MediaTek Companio Ultra ChipIt is an 8-core processor especially designed for Chromebook. On paper, Chromebook Plus 14 has some impressive glasses, including 11-core, Ray Tracing-Capable GPU, which are for some games or for 3D apps on Chromebook, which enhanced, supported realistic lighting effects. It should also supply enough juice to support up to two 4K exterior displays, as well as Wi-Fi 7 connectivity.
Chromebook Plus 14 is designed to compare with today’s AI PCS, especially thanks to its NPU, or nerve processing unit. It is a part of the chip designed to process AI-related functions. MediaTek stated that NPU hits trillions of 50 tops, or per second operations. This number provides a thick estimate of how well it can handle simple AI functions. Most “AI PC” chips of companies like Intel and AMD can support 45 tops. What AI features are available at the time of launch is a bit more disappointing. Lenovo’s laptops will get exclusive capabilities that automatically meet your browser tab, whether you have your Google Docs or Internet search. It should be smart enough to consolidate your tasks in your own groups. If you are to open a lot of tabs simultaneously, it can prove to be an easy way to vest all of them.
Otherwise, the only other exclusive software feature in the gallery app is AI image editing. This will allow you to use magic eraser to remove objects in the background of an image without the need for internet connection. The system lacks any on-device Gemini chatbot. While Google did not confirm what is coming forward for Chromebooks, it is inherent that we can eventually see some Gemini Nano language model integration on Chromebook Plus. Is it something we really see? Given how Microsoft’s Copilot has been on the PC, it is not the kind of characteristics we are actually for zonesing.
There will be some more features to add all the Chromebook Plus model to last year’s update. Recently launched “Quick Access” key, which replaces cap lock on some models, can now generate AI images. Users can also reach the “read” function to break a web page or document in a more condensed bullet points with AI-borne text. Chromebooks, including non-plas models, will be able to search Google lens image by killing on-screen launcher button or using screenshot tools. Google has been on AI kick over the last few years, and it is still promoting that you will find a full year of Google, which is a premium subscription with 2TB of cloud storage.
These facilities are nothing that we have not seen before on Google’s phone or other devices. Chromebooks usually do not require anything particularly particularly, because most people who buy one simply need to reach a browser- or cloud-based apps. Since last year Samsung’s Galaxy Chromebook Plus was already very expensive at $ 700 despite its light frame and beautiful amoled display. Lenovo’s Chromebook Plus 14 Sports An OLED screen and what Lenovo claims that the longest battery of any chromebook is life – 17 hours, although it is in video streaming tests. It is also the only chrombook that supports the Dolby Atomos audio through its quad speaker system. Chromebook 14 Plus is the most PC-like of any Chromebook so far, but without wider app support, it can never match the versatility of Windows 11 or other laptops running Linux. If you are involved in Google ecosystem and do not consider cloud-based work bad, then most modern chrombooks of moderate quality will work well. Lenovo’s latest great and overcomes to sit somewhere between the overcast, but we will need to do our own tests to see if you need a multimedia chromebook, especially if you don’t care for a chaat for Google’s AI features.
