"Chromebook Plus refers to devices that are largely the same as "regular" Chromebooks (light, agile, run on ChromeOS, and are designed for the cloud) but boast more robust hardware and leverage Google's Gemini for a host of AI functionalities. The AI functionality in the new Chromebook Plus devices ranges from flashy features like generative AI wallpapers to photo editing tools in the Google Photos app and Google Chrome's Help Me Write app."
"The Acer Chromebook Plus 516 GE is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 5 120U from Intel's "Raptor Lake" series from 2024. This is a powerful processor found in much more expensive laptops and the power behind the gaming performance. This, along with the sharp-looking 16-inch WQXGA display with a 120Hz refresh rate and decent speakers make it look more like a solid gaming laptop than a Chromebook."
