The content displayed on the display can be natively decoded from the AV1 codec, used by companies like Netflix to consume less data for the same final video quality. This feature is important for high resolution transmission with greater compression, going up to 8K, also ensuring greater battery life at these times.
In connection, the MediaTek Kompanio 1380 can work with Wi-Fi 6, 6E and also Bluetooth 5. The first Chromebook with this chip is the Acer Chromebook Spin 513, recently presented with three other models, during this year's CES.
