Asus is expanding its industrial Computer portfolio in India today with the launch of six new ultra-reasonably priced Chromebook laptops: Chromebook Flip C214, Chromebook C223, Chromebook C423 (touch and non-touch variants) and Chromebook C523 (touch and non-touch variants). Prices start off as low as Rs 17,999. These laptops are created from scratch to bridge the digital divide to “enable millions of Indian consumers to adopt digital learning, work and entertainment experience,” Asus stated in a press statement.
Right out of the gate, these laptops are based on Google’s Chrome OS computer software, not Windows. While a important portion of tasks you’d want to accomplish on a Chromebook can be performed inside the cloud-based Chrome internet browser, it is also achievable to download and set up Android apps on it from the Play Store. Hands-totally free Google Assistant assistance is also obtainable. Asus is touting these laptops for digital studying, work and entertainment.
