Chromebook Plus Updates
Google Cloud unveiled Chromebook Plus last year. This line of Chromebooks is intended to provide up to two times the processing, memory, and storage capacity of standard Chromebooks, in addition to software and AI features that simplify the handling of complex workloads.
Chromebook Plus Models
Laptops with Chromebook Plus models are designed to provide strong AI experiences at a lower cost.
Google Cloud is revealing new capabilities powered by AI that will help your teams increase productivity, creativity, and teamwork, as well as the upcoming lineup of Acer Chromebook Plus computers.
Everyday workflows are improved by Chromebook Plus devices with Intel Core Ultra processors thanks to their cutting-edge AI capabilities. By working together, we can leverage Google Cloud’s artificial intelligence capabilities to build more seamless experiences and boost productivity for more astute business decisions.

Help me be more productive
Instead than adding to their workload, teams need technologies that help them reduce it. A new set of capabilities from Google Cloud will enable customers to operate more productively and efficiently:
- Help me write for Chromebook Plus makes it simpler to edit text in an app or on the web, whether you’re changing online copy, managing social media accounts, or finishing a new blog.
- With just one click, you can access your to-do list from any device with Google Task and Calendar integration, which will keep you organised all day.
- By limiting the amount of time the smartphone is at 100% charge, adaptive charging limits battery health and anticipates your device’s usage patterns.
Keep an eye out for other productivity capabilities that Chromebooks and Chromebooks Plus will be getting later this year:
- Now, when you log back into your device, you’ll receive a summary of the windows that you had open earlier. This feature helps you stay organised and quickly resume your productivity.
- By allocating specific time to concentrate on your work according to your calendar and to-do list, Focus enables users to reduce distractions.
- With a single right click, Help me read can summarise webpages or PDFs and allow you to delve deeper into the information by asking follow-up questions.
Help me in creating and working together
Effective teamwork is essential, regardless of the setting in person or virtual. Google Cloud is introducing new tools to help improve your caller experience and let you customise your devices in order to facilitate that collaboration.
Screencast is one of the content creation features that makes it simple to record, edit, and distribute information that has been instantly translated into up to 12 languages. Making new international training programmes, putting together product demonstrations, or practicing a speech? It’s simple using screencast. Additionally, Google Cloud has improved its integrated screen capture feature, allowing users to store screen captures in GIF format for more lively demos and presentations.
When turned on, Google AI-powered noise reduction and illumination capabilities benefit any app that has access to the microphone or camera on a Chromebook Plus laptop.
On business smartphones, generative AI wallpapers and video call backgrounds enable individuality and artistic expression. When entering a conference on any platform, distant team members can look professional thanks to AI-generated video call backgrounds.
Google Cloud will provide you with even more tools to create and collaborate later this year:
With improved video call options that let you adjust your picture and sound right from your Chromebook shelf, you can get more out of your meetings.
Gemini and Google Workspace extend AI beyond the OS
In addition to providing these features on the OS, Chromebook Plus is tailored for cutting-edge online applications like Gemini and Google Workspace. Combining these, companies can enable employees through Google apps that promote productivity, teamwork, and creativity.
Google Gemini is pinned to your shelf on Chromebook Plus machines for easy access and provides chat to help you write, learn, plan, and more.
Helping you with question research and answering, generating copy and graphics, and more, Gemini for Google Workspace is a premium product that provides industry-leading AI capabilities and experiences throughout Google Workspace. Teams can take advantage of AI in addition to Chromebook Plus features while using ChromeOS, Chrome OS, or Google Workspace.
Help me with device management
Google Cloud is integrating Device Hub into the Google Admin console to streamline device management. Device Hub makes fleet management easier by centralising fleet data for IT administrators and offering alerts and suggestions based on possible problems. Google Cloud plans to provide more tools later this year that are integrated into the Google Admin console and work with ChromeOS device management.
Prepare to unleash the power of your team
Teams now have more flexibility than ever before to create, work together, and oversee thanks to Chromebook Plus. These AI features will be automatically released by Google Cloud as a rolling update, beginning in June with M126.
And although functionalities might not be accessible right once on managed devices while Google Cloud works to implement strong IT controls, companies using Chromebook Plus this year have a lot to look forward to.
