Lenovo is pushing the boundaries of portable computing, unveiling the new Lenovo Chromebook Plus (14”, 10). This device is positioned as the world’s first Chromebook powered by the MediaTek Kompanio Ultra processor, integrating exclusive Google AI capabilities to deliver a truly hybrid AI experience. Designed with professionals, students, and creators in mind, this Chromebook aims to set a new standard for performance, productivity, and multimedia immersion.
With a formidable 50 TOPS (Tera Operations Per Second) of processing power, the Lenovo Chromebook Plus (14”, 10) is engineered for supercharged performance, capable of handling demanding AI tasks both directly on the device and via the cloud.
Hybrid AI Capabilities Driven by MediaTek Kompanio Ultra
At the heart of this new Chromebook Plus lies the MediaTek Kompanio Ultra processor. This flagship CPU features the Arm Immortalis-G925 MC11 GPU and the MediaTek NPU 890, a powerful combination balancing energy efficiency with advanced AI processing. This hardware foundation allows the device to leverage Google’s latest AI features through Gemini, unlocking innovative ways to work, create, and organize.
Key AI features include exclusive on-device functionalities that work even offline, such as Smart grouping to intelligently organize tabs, documents, and apps by category, and powerful image editing directly within the Gallery app, allowing creators to refine visuals without needing an internet connection.
For enhanced productivity, Gemini is built directly into the shelf, providing easy access to cloud-based AI tools. Features like Select to search with Lens let users quickly find information related to anything on their screen without interrupting their workflow by switching tabs. Text capture uses optical character recognition (OCR) to pull dates and text from documents or images, making it easy to add them to Calendar or Docs. Additionally, an upgraded Help Me Read feature simplifies complex or jargon-filled text and even allows users to ask follow-up questions for deeper understanding and retention.
Premium Design and Performance
Beyond its AI prowess, the Lenovo Chromebook Plus (14”, 10) boasts a premium build and features designed for a superior user experience. The device sports a minimalist aesthetic with clean lines and a durable aluminum chassis. Typing is comfortable on the backlit keyboard, complemented by a large touchpad for effortless navigation. For expanded workspaces, the Chromebook effortlessly supports up to two external 4K displays.
Staying connected and secure is made easy with a sharp 5MP webcam featuring a physical privacy shutter and an optional fingerprint reader for quick, protected logins. The device has also undergone MIL-STD-810H durability testing, indicating its resilience against environmental stresses.
Immersive Multimedia Experience
The multimedia experience on this Chromebook Plus is truly captivating. It sets a new standard for Chromebook sound systems with Dolby Atmos and quad speakers, including two dedicated down-firing woofers, delivering multi-dimensional, immersive audio. Complementing the rich sound is a vibrant 14-inch, 2K OLED display. With 100% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage and 400 nits brightness (optional touchscreen available), this display brings content to life with exceptional clarity and color accuracy, making it ideal for creative work, watching videos, or enjoying popular Android games.
