Google built-in
Chromebooks are designed by Google to help make everything easier – from instant setup to your go-to Google apps seamlessly integrated to help you get things done.
Simply sign in with your Gmail account and find your files, photos, and Chrome preferences all waiting for you.
Seamlessly move between tasks – and devices – when you use your Chromebook and Android phone together.
Get reoriented every time you log in with a visual overview of where you left off, along with helpful suggestions to get back into the groove.
Getting to the files you need is easy on Chromebook. Pin important ones to your home screen, search in the Files app, or get suggestions directly in the Launcher.
Built-in shortcuts to Google apps let you check your calendar, hop into a video call, or check off to-do’s without opening another tab – or missing a beat.
Google AI
Chat with Gemini to supercharge your ideas. With just a tap on the Gemini icon, you can get help planning, writing, learning, and more, with Google AI.
Gemini in Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Gmail2 helps you generate and summarize notes, build beautiful presentations, and personalize your emails.
Unleash the magic of Gemini with a click to enhance how you read (coming soon), write, and express yourself on Chromebook Plus. And take your creativity to new heights with Magic Editor on Google Photos.
With the Google One AI Premium Plan you get access to Gemini Advanced, 2TB of cloud storage, and Gemini in Gmail, Docs, and more. Get 3 months with a purchase of a new Chromebook3, or 12 months with a purchase of a new Chromebook Plus, all at no cost (CA$26.99/mo after).4
Performance
Fast Boot starts up in under 10 seconds for more doing and less waiting. Jump right into note-taking, binge-watching, photo-editing, and more.
With up to 10 hours of battery life, Chromebooks pack enough stamina for a long flight, a full workday, or a streaming session.5
Easily access Netflix, Adobe Acrobat, Zoom, and many more, available on Google Play.
Fly through tasks and meetings with apps like Google Docs, Microsoft® Excel,6 Zoom, and more.
With Chromebook, any updates on Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides are automatically saved while you're connected to the Internet.
No Wi-Fi? No problem. Recent documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and emails are available with offline access.7
Security
With Chromebooks, there’s no need to buy extra security software. Breathe easy knowing you’re covered with built-in protection and the Titan C2 security chip.9
Stay safe with unmatched security. Google designed the Titan C2 security chip9 to protect your Chromebook from viruses, keep hackers at bay, and prevent phishing attacks.
Automatic updates run in the background to keep your Chromebook fast and up to date with the latest software and security features.
With Family Link, you decide what’s best for your family. Easy to use tools allow you to understand how your child is spending time on their device, share location, manage privacy settings, and more.10
Chromebooks can support multiple users while maintaining each person’s privacy. Guest mode lets you share your Chromebook without sharing your login.
Every time your Chromebook starts up, it goes through Verified Boot—a rigorous and seamless security checkup in the background that prevents malware.
ChromeOS keeps software on your Chromebook separated with Sandboxing. So even if one part gets infected, the rest will stay safe.
