Lenovo has just launched its latest innovation, the Chromebook Plus 14, redefining the capabilities of ARM-based laptops. 
This new device comes powered by the MediaTek Kompanio Ultra chip, offering an impressive AI-driven experience for both work and play, whether you’re online or offline.
At the heart of the Chromebook Plus 14 is the Kompanio Ultra, an ARM processor with a powerful AI engine that delivers up to 50 TOPS (trillion operations per second). This performance enables the Chromebook to run AI-driven features directly on the device, including AI image editing and Smart Grouping. Smart Grouping automatically organizes tabs, files, and apps to streamline your tasks.
Lenovo has designed the Chromebook Plus 14 to cater to professionals, students, and content creators alike. The device boasts a 14-inch 2K OLED display with 100% DCI-P3 color accuracy, paired with Dolby Atmos quad speakers for an enhanced multimedia experience. The sleek aluminum build features a backlit keyboard and a large touchpad, ensuring comfort and style. Additionally, it comes with a 5MP webcam, a privacy shutter, optional fingerprint recognition, and dual 4K display support.
The Chromebook Plus 14 integrates deeply with Google’s AI tools, some of which are exclusive to this line. Features like Select to Search with Lens and Text Capture simplify tasks like identifying on-screen objects or extracting information from images. The updated Help Me Read function helps break down complex language, while the new Quick Insert key lets you insert AI-generated images or emojis into documents quickly.
Battery life is another major selling point, with Lenovo claiming up to 17 hours on a single charge. Weighing just 1.17 kg (2.6 lbs.), this Chromebook is designed for remote and hybrid work. It also features up to 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, all in a fanless design for quieter operation.
The Chromebook Plus 14 also comes with a 12-month Google AI Pro plan that unlocks features like Gemini in Gmail and Docs, 2TB of cloud storage, and access to NotebookLM for writing and research assistance. Lenovo has also partnered with content creators like Netflix and Luminar, offering desktop-optimized apps and photo editing tools, with free trials included.
Pricing starts at $649, and the device is available now at Lenovo.com and Best Buy. The Chromebook Plus 14 is a significant advancement in ARM-based Chromebooks, offering strong AI capabilities and premium design. However, it still faces the challenge of persuading traditional laptop users to move away from Windows or macOS, especially at its midrange price point. For those already invested in the ChromeOS ecosystem, though, it’s an enticing upgrade.
