New Chromebook Plus 14 gets more power and a better battery

Google and Lenovo have teamed up to make a newer Chromebook Plus 14 with an even bigger focus on AI features and stronger hardware.

Starting at $1,199 in Australia, the latest Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 marks a few changes from last year’s CX34 model. Instead of an Intel chip, the new model uses a MediaTek Kompanio Ultra, which Google calls the “strongest ever ARM chip” in a Chromebook.

Its battery reportedly lasts longer too. Google quotes up to 17 hours of battery life, another new high for the Chromebook Plus range. The laptop also gets Dolby Atmos support, an OLED display, and a fingerprint scanner for easy logging in.

Aside from many of the AI features now considered standard across computers and phones, the upcoming Chromebook Plus 14 has a few tricks of its own. One is the ability to automatically group tabs and documents based on what you’re working on, plus another feature that lets you edit images using AI natively in the photo library app. It means you can remove subjects from backgrounds without needing a separate editing app.

Considering the more than $1,000 price tag, this Chromebook seems aimed at people who want the ChromeOS experience but with more power under the hood. It’ll be sold through JB Hi-Fi and Officeworks once the laptop arrives in Australia, which will be soon.
