In fact, the Chromebook Plus 14 Gen 10 is comfortably the fastest Chromebook that we’ve tested. In Geekbench 6 it scored 2,566 for single-core performance and 8,087 for multi-core. Our previous fastest Chromebook in this benchmark, the Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 714, scored 1,889 and 6,651, and that was with a 10-core Intel Core i5-1335U.

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.

Put simply, the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 is a lightweight laptop boasting stellar battery life, impressive performance, and a fanless design that borderline rivals that of the MacBook Air . Especially for commuters, this is a Chromebook you’ll want to keep on your short list.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Frequently asked questions

It ranks #3 (A tier) on our consolidated chromebooks board, drawn from 40 cited sources across 31 outlets.

People who carry their Chromebook everywhere and type on it all day. It sits in A tier at third place on our chromebooks board, on a durable chassis, a solid trackpad, a comfortable keyboard, good performance and a versatile 2-in-1 design, with no cons recorded. Reviewers give it a slight edge over the Asus Chromebook Plus CX34 in everyday durability. It is A tier rather than S because the CX34 wins on battery life and firmware support and the Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 714 wins on performance. Buy one of those two if peak battery or speed matters more than ruggedness.

Buy the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 if you want a 2-in-1 with the toughest chassis and the best keyboard and trackpad on the board. Buy the Asus Chromebook Plus CX34 if you want the longest battery life and the most consistent firmware updates, which is why it holds first place in S tier. Reviewers say the Lenovo edges the CX34 in everyday durability, so for a student or a commuter the Lenovo is the safer choice and for a desk-bound buyer the CX34 is.

It is the product on our board reviewers rate highest for everyday durability, on a robust chassis and a trackpad and keyboard that hold up to daily use. No reliability cons are recorded against it. As a Chromebook Plus machine it is covered by Google's ten year ChromeOS update window. The hinge is the part to look after on any convertible, so avoid forcing it past its stops.

Yes, it is the school pick on our board for a student who owns the machine. The durable chassis survives a backpack, the comfortable keyboard suits long essays and the 2-in-1 design folds for reading and note taking. It has more performance than the cheap education models further down the board, so it will still feel quick in a few years.

Yes. Reviewers list its versatile 2-in-1 design as a strength, so the screen folds back for tablet, tent and stand modes. That makes it the A tier alternative to the Acer Chromebook Plus Spin 714 for anyone who wants a convertible without paying for the S tier performance.
