Over the past few years, I've written about how Chromebooks are the perfect devices for Arm processors. No, I'm not talking about the ones that we already have, I'm talking about the ones that are found in a lot of fantastic Windows laptops. Which includes Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Elite, which debuted in late 2023.
I was hopeful that, eventually, Chromebook makers would get around to at least offering something with a flagship Arm SoC; as it turns out, we are, just not from Qualcomm. Instead, MediaTek is swooping in with its recent announcement of the Kompanio Ultra, designed specifically "for the next generation of Chromebook Plus devices."
