2 new Chromebooks and new AI features to get more done

Must read

The new Quick Insert key delivers instant help where you need it. With a tap of the dedicated keyboard button, a menu instantly gives you access to everything you might need from editing what you’re writing, instantly adding a URL link or quickly finding the perfect emoji or GIF. Here are just a few examples of what you’ll find:

  • Quick access to Help me write, which uses Gemini models, so you can get help crafting new text, edit what you’ve written or change the tone
  • Emoji and GIFs to easily add to any text field
  • A list of your recently opened websites, to add links without searching, copying and pasting between windows
  • Google Drive integrated search so you can attach files, photos, videos or anything from your Google Drive, while staying within your work flow
  • Tactical tools to do simple calculations, add a specific date, and convert units of measure right where you need it

The Quick Insert key launches exclusively on the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus, but existing Chromebook users can use the feature with a keyboard shortcut. Starting next year, the key will become available across more Chromebook and Chromebook Plus laptops, along with the ability to quickly create AI-generated images from within the Quick Insert menu.
