At CES 2026, Lenovo has unveiled its latest entry into the ChromeOS ecosystem: the Lenovo Chromebook Plus i (15″, 10). This new 15-inch device is designed to be a versatile powerhouse, balancing a large, high-quality display with the performance needed for both productivity and entertainment.
Performance and AI Integration
Under the hood, the Chromebook Plus i is powered by the Intel® Core™ 3 Processor N355 and 8GB of LPDDR5 memory. As a “Chromebook Plus” device, it is specifically built to support Google AI features, providing users with enhanced creative and organizational tools directly in the OS. Users can choose between 128GB or 256GB of UFS storage to house their local files and apps.
Immersive 15.3-inch Display
The center of the experience is the 15.3-inch WUXGA (1920 x 1200) IPS display. It features a 16:10 aspect ratio, which offers more vertical screen real estate for documents and browsing. The screen is rated at 400 nits of brightness and offers an optional 120Hz refresh rate, 100% sRGB color gamut, and touchscreen support for those who need higher color accuracy or smoother visuals.
Lenovo has optimized this chassis for long-form work. It includes a full numeric keypad (numpad) and a larger touchpad to aid in data entry and navigation. For video conferencing, it sports a 5MP RGB webcam paired with dual microphones and a physical privacy shutter. Security is further enhanced with a built-in fingerprint reader.
