The 714 features a 14-inch 1,920 x 1,200 touchscreen with Intel’s Cure Ultra 5 115U processor, 8GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 256GB SSD. Buying any Chromebook Plus device this year (such as this one) will also get you free access to Google’s AI Pro plan for one year, which includes Gemini 2.5 Pro , the Veo 3 AI video generator, and 2TB of cloud storage.
