Lenovo officially claims a runtime of up to 17 hours for the Chromebook Plus 14 (14M9610). In our own Wi-Fi web surfing test, conducted at an adjusted display brightness, the device lasted for an impressive 15+ hours. This result is even more remarkable considering our review unit had been used previously, suggesting its battery may have already experienced some wear.Read M

I’ve had the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 in my bag for a bit over 6 weeks at this point, and I have to be honest with you: I knew it was my favorite Chromebook ever after just a few hours of use. Seeing it at the Chromebook Showcase in New York back in June was only a small taste of what makes this device so special, and like many others, I wasn’t 100% sold on its awesomeness right away.Read J
the new Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 is very well builtWatch B
The Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 is a top-tier laptop that is a cut above most Chromebooks on the market. It takes inspiration from Apple's MacBooks and features a premium design, made from aluminum, which people say feels sturdy without being heavy. The main highlight of the Plus 14, though, is that gorgeous 14-inch 1920 x 1200 OLED touchscreen display.Read C

There's no Chromebook quite like the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 .

The audio, unfortunately, is the first major letdown. The upward-firing speakers use Waves MaxxAudio, and they are completely mediocre . They don’t have the richness or the Dolby Atmos-tuned punch of the clamshell model, and I was honestly a bit let down on that front. With the build quality of this device being so close to the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14, I was really hoping for some solid audio.Read M
Like every Chromebook there are a couple of quirks and oddities, but over the last month I've spent with this Chromebook Plus I've really like a lot about it and think you will too….if you can get hold of one!Watch C
The audio, however, is where you’ll definitely notice a difference. Unlike the Dolby Atmos setup on the clamshell, this model uses Waves MaxxAudio. While upward-firing and loud enough for video calls, it lacks the low-end punch and richness we’ve grown accustomed to on the standard Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14.Read T
Looks good in a lot of ways but here are a few things that put me off this. No 1 is soldered storage. I really want an MVNe drive for upgradability. No 2 It needs more ports. Unneeded minimalism at the cost of usability.Watch 9
After using it for the past couple of months, it’s a fine laptop, but one that sits in limbo.Read A

Lenovo's Chromebook Plus 14 is one of the fastest, nicest Chromebooks we've tested, merging a gorgeous OLED display, solid build quality, and a comfy keyboard with capable, NPU-powered on-device AI. But its luxury-laptop pricing undercuts the biggest advantage of ChromeOS: affordability.Read T
The Chromebook Plus 14-inch is one of the most expensive Chromebooks around, straying into Windows-laptop territory – and ChromeOS simply can’t compete with these machines in terms of sheer versatility.Read
