Lenovo’s Chromebook Plus 14 Runs on MediaTek’s Killer Chipset

If you were in the market for a new Chromebook, then you’re in luck—Lenovo recently unveiled its new Chromebook Plus 14, which manages to stand out from rival machines courtesy of MediaTek’s Kompanio Ultra 910 chipset, which is quite the most potent ARM chip yet in a Chromebook so far.

For hardware, the laptop comes with a 14-inch OLED display with a 1920 x 1200 resolution and 400 nits brightness, suitable for various tasks including schoolwork and content streaming. For entertainment, it includes Dolby Atmos-supported speakers and offers an impressive up to 17 hours of battery life. Connectivity options include two USB-C ports, one USB-A port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a fingerprint reader for security.

Inside, the Chromebook Plus 14’s Kompanio Ultra 910 chip is decked out for more intensive tasks than your average Chromebook, and features a high-performance core configuration (Cortex-X925, Cortex-X4s, Cortex-A720s) and an ARM Immortalis-G295 MC11 GPU, along with a dedicated NPU capable of up to 50 TOPS for on-device AI tasks.

You’re also getting a suite of AI features, which include “Smart Grouping” for organizing tabs and documents, and AI-based photo editing through the Gallery app. Users can also tap into Google AI Pro features like “Search with Lens,” “Text Capture,” a new “Insert Key” for generating images and emojis, and “Help Me Read” for text summarization.

Starting at 12GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS storage, the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 is available at Best Buy for a hefty $750, with a free 12-month subscription to the Google AI Pro plan for 2TB of cloud storage.
