Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14: A delightful Al Chromebook

Sleek Chromebook with an OLED screen and a fresh MediaTek chip.

-  BY ASHLEY BIANCUZZO

I've used a lot of Chromebook (fave.co/3HbcehN) over the years, and most of them tend to fall into one of two categories: either very affordable and sometimes forgettable or super premium with a price tag to match. The Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 wants to land somewhere in the middle. It's got an OLED display, a brand-new MediaTek chip with AI capabilities, and a design that's sophisticated and understated.

So I spent a week using it for work and play to see if it actually holds up and I've got thoughts. Let's get into it.

SPECS

The Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 comes in two configurations. Both include the new MediaTek Kompanio Ultra 910 chip and UFS storage, but the base model offers 12GB of RAM and a non-touch OLED display, while the upgraded version (the one we reviewed) bumps that up to 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It also adds touchscreen support. While the $649 starting price may seem steep, it's a good value for what you're getting. Most Chromebooks, for instance, come with only 8GB of RAM, and UFS storage is faster than eMMC (fave.co/4d4bVHc). It's also future proof thanks to WiFi 7.

But the real standout is the 14-inch 1920×1200 OLED touchscreen display. You don't see many laptops with OLED panels (touch or not) at this price.
