Google is rolling out fresh AI tools for its Chromebook Plus line.
New screen-selection lets you long-press the launcher or use screenshots to instantly search screen content. It works like Google Lens or Chrome’s “Circle to search.” You can also select text and add calendar events fast.

Last year’s “quick insert” key on some Chromebook Plus models now triggers AI image generation and AI writing tools.
A new “Simplify” AI feature breaks down or summarizes any selected text.
All new Chromebook Plus buyers get 1 year of Google AI Pro free. That plan unlocks Gemini app access, Flow video editing, Whisk image-to-video, Gemini in Gmail/Docs/Chrome, and 2TB cloud storage. The AI Pro plan normally costs $240/year.
Lenovo’s new Chromebook Plus 14 gets two exclusive AI features: AI-driven tab and doc organization, plus image editing in the Gallery app to remove backgrounds or create stickers.
Lenovo’s Chromebook Plus 14 packs an OLED touch screen and MediaTek Kompanio Ultra ARM chip. It comes with 12GB or 16GB RAM options, priced at $649 and $749.
