Meet Chromebook

  • The better way to laptop

    With do-everything performance, unmatched security1 and the magic of Gemini to supercharge your ideas2, Chromebooks help you do less and accomplish more.

Google built-in

Built for ease, the Google way

  • Help from Google – here, there, everywhere

    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.

  • Instant setup with your Gmail

    Simply sign in with your Gmail account and find your files, photos and Chrome preferences all waiting for you.

  • Even better together

    Seamlessly move between tasks – and devices – when you use your Chromebook and Android phone together.

  • Leap back into action

    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.

    Find it in a flash

    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.

  • Google gets you there faster

    Built-in shortcuts to Google apps let you check your calendar, hop into a video call, or check off to-dos without opening another tab – or missing a beat.

Google AI

The magic of Google AI, with Gemini

  • Chat with Gemini, right from your home screen

    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 for Google Workspace

    Gemini in Google Docs, Sheets, Slides and Gmail3 helps you generate and summarise notes, build beautiful presentations and personalise your emails.

  • Google AI features built-in

    Unleash the magic of Gemini with a click to enhance how you read4, 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 Chromebook 5, or 12 months with a purchase of a new Chromebook Plus, all at no cost.6

Performance

Power that gets more done

  • Blazing-fast boot up

    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.

  • Battery you can count on

    With up to 10 hours of battery life, Chromebooks pack enough stamina for a long flight, a full workday or a streaming session.7

    Work without Wi-Fi

    No Wi-Fi? No problem. Recent documents, spreadsheets, presentations and emails are available with offline access.9

Security

Stress-free security

  • Security so strong, it's never had a virus1

    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.10

  • Secure to the core

    Stay safe with unmatched security. Google designed the Titan C2 security chip10 to protect your Chromebook from viruses, keep hackers at bay and prevent phishing attacks.

  • Updates without interruption

    Automatic updates run in the background to keep your Chromebook fast and up to date with the latest software and security features.

  • Help keep your family safer online

    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 locations, manage privacy settings and more.11

  • Share your laptop, not your life

    Chromebooks can support multiple users while maintaining each person's privacy. Guest mode lets you share your Chromebook without sharing your login.

  • Secure from the start

    Every time your Chromebook starts up, it goes through Verified Boot – a rigorous and seamless security checkup in the background that prevents malware.

  • Layers of protection

    ChromeOS keeps software on your Chromebook separated with Sandboxing. So even if one part gets infected, the rest will stay safe.
