Google has released a new version of ChromeOS that allows you to sync desktops between devices, ideal for anyone who works across more than one Chromebook.
It also significantly improves the AI wallpapers available on Chromebook Plus laptops with a completely freeform prompting field.
It’s optional, but can be enabled in the ChromeOS user settings under “Desk sync.”ChromeOS version 138 also delivers a major update to AI wallpapers, which remain exclusive to the more powerful Chromebook Plus models.
Now it offers a freeform text field for prompt inputs, allowing users significantly more control over generated wallpapers.
Chromebook Plus users will also get the AI-powered “Help me read” feature, which will simplify jargon-heavy or technical text.
