ChromeOS is being positioned as an enterprise-ready endpoint where AI features and security policy move together, rather than being bolted on later. In this chat, Craig Francis explains how Google is trying to tell a more complete “Gemini + security” story: Chromebook Plus devices can use on-device acceleration (Intel, MediaTek, Qualcomm class platforms) for responsive AI tasks, while heavier requests can still run in the cloud when needed. https://chromeenterprise.google/products/chrome-enterprise-premium/

HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

A big theme is removing adoption friction for organizations that still depend on Windows-era software. The discussion highlights Cameyo by Google as a way to package legacy Windows apps on a Windows cloud server and publish them as a Progressive Web App that launches from the app icon like a native program. The point is that users don’t deal with extra logins or visible virtualization layers; they just open the app, and the session is streamed from the server behind the scenes.
The other blocker is “Microsoft-first” workflows, and the messaging here is that ChromeOS can be a practical front end even when teams stay on Microsoft 365. The idea is single sign-on with Microsoft credentials, web-first Office access, and admin-managed policies that keep identity and data consistent while avoiding the unmanaged-browser problem that shows up when employees mix corporate work with random sites and third-party AI tools. This interview was filmed at ISE 2026 in Barcelona, where enterprise AV and workplace IT themes overlap more than ever.
Chrome Enterprise Premium is framed as the control plane for that browser reality: security visibility, phishing and malware defenses, and data loss prevention rules that can reduce risky copy/paste or uploads of sensitive content into unsanctioned services, including AI tools. Put together, the pitch is less about replacing everything with web apps overnight, and more about making ChromeOS a manageable, policy-driven client that can run web workloads, virtualized legacy apps, and selective on-device AI without breaking enterprise governance.
