Chromebook Plus for cozy productivity
You know you've nailed the holiday gifts when you pick out something that'll be endlessly useful for its lucky recipient. A laptop is undoubtedly one of the most practical gifts, but you might have looked past them, assuming they're too pricey or over the top.
That's not the case with Chromebook and Chromebook Plus laptops. Loaded with new AI-boosted features from Google, here are three computers that make the perfect gift for those looking to work smarter, not harder.
HP 14" x360 Chromebook Plus
The impressive hardware is an obvious pro (a tablet and laptop in one with a touchscreen? Say no more), but the real gem in this laptop's crown is the new AI-powered Chromebook Plus tools Help me read and Help me write.
Students can read and summarize PDFs, articles and websites almost instantly and ask deeper questions to improve their understanding with Help me read.
Then, Help me write can help you get started by brainstorming ideas or refining your text—whether you're drafting captions, planning creative content, or organizing your thoughts for any project.
Add to that the Magic Editor for Google Photos, Live Translate, a Recorder app with AI-powered transcription, and more, and you've got a mighty laptop for just $699 (plus taxes).
