Link: Chromebooks are getting a new button dedicated to Google’s AI

Google introduces the Quick Insert button on new Chromebooks by Samsung and Lenovo, enhancing access to AI-driven features. This new feature replaces the usual search/launcher button, starting with Samsung’s Galaxy Chromebook Plus.

The Quick Insert offers functionalities like AI-assisted writing and live image generation. It notably speeds up the retrieval of multimedia items and browsing history.

Additional innovations include the Welcome Recap feature, which helps users catch up quickly after logging back in. This feature provides an overview of recent activities and can sync across different devices.

Samsung's Galaxy Chromebook Plus debuts these features in a sleek aluminum body, appealing with its lightweight and thin design. This Chromebook also offers a vivid 15.6-inch OLED display and reasonable processing power for everyday tasks.

Lenovo's Chromebook Duet 11 retains its portable, detachable design while upgrading internal specs for improved performance. This model focuses on flexibility, offering various modes for use as a tablet or with a stand.

Both devices are available this month, with the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 11 starting at a competitive price of $340, providing a cost-effective option for users seeking new ChromeOS features. #
