Thanks to a new update from Google, your Chromebook may soon get a lot more connected.
What's New in ChromeOS (Google I/O '24)
Chrome OS 92 Stable brings eSim support and improved video calling, among a bunch of other cool features. Google Meet will come pre-installed on all Chromebooks, so it’ll be easy to fire up the app and start a video call right from the launcher.
I recently looked at how the latest Chrome update brings a bunch of useful features that can help you get things done faster, as well as some nice extras. There’s new support for emojis, as well as the ability to do more with an external camera. You also get improved speech-to-text for composing long documents using just your voice.
SIM cards have become ubiquitous over the past few decades, and Chromebooks now support eSIM cards under the new release. The name, which stands for “electronic SIM,” allows you to have all the functionality of a regular SIM card, including data and calling capabilities from mobile carriers, without having to bother with a physical card. Note that not all Chromebooks support this feature.
