Lenovo’s New Chromebook Plus 14 Is Here with AI Tools and a 144Hz Display for $499

Lenovo’s latest Chromebook Plus arrives June 25, and it brings some solid specs for its $499 price. Built in collaboration with Google, the Chromebook Plus 14 aims at users who want speed, AI tools, and a high-refresh screen without spending over $500.

The laptop packs an Intel Core i3-N305 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. The 14-inch, 1080p display stands out — it refreshes at 144Hz, which puts it ahead of most budget laptops in its class. That alone will appeal to casual gamers and fast-scrolling users alike.

Google built Chromebook Plus to showcase AI tools without relying on cloud processing. This model ships with features like Magic Editor in Google Photos, AI writing help in Docs and Gmail, and noise cancellation for Meet calls — all running locally.

Physically, the Chromebook Plus 14 brings a full aluminum body, a 1080p webcam with facial tracking, and a hinge that lays flat. Lenovo kept the port setup clean: two USB-C, one USB-A, and a headphone jack. The machine weighs just over 3 pounds.

Google also teased future updates, saying that new Chromebook Plus devices, including this one, will gain additional AI features later this year — like writing prompts, document help, and more.

The Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 hits major retailers and Lenovo’s store starting June 25. It competes squarely with mid-range Windows laptops — and looks ready to win on simplicity and speed.
