Google India has launched two new Chromebooks in partnership with companies
like Xolo and Nexian in India at a price of Rs 12,999. The Xolo Chromebook will
be available in a few days via Snapdeal while the Nexian Air Chromebook is now
available on Amazon India. Apart
from these Chromebooks, Google also announced the Asus Chromebook Flip
C201 and a model by Samsung, which will be available later this year.
In terms of specifications, the Xolo Chromebook sports a 11.6-inch TFT
display which comes with a 1366 x 768 pixel resolution. The device is
powered by a Rockchip 3288 SoC having a 1.8GHz quad-core Cortex A17
processor along with a quad-core ARM Mali 760 GPU paired with 2GB RAM. On the
storage front, the Chromebook has a built in storage of 16GB but can be further
expanded via SD card. The device will run on Google’s Chrome OS and includes
two USB 2.0 ports, an HDMI port, a 1MP web camera and comes with Bluetooth
4.0. The laptop comes packed in with 4,200mAh battery and offers a
backup of 10 hours, claims the company.
On the other hand, the Nexian Air Chromebook sports the same 11.6-inch
TFT display which comes with a 1366 x 768 pixel resolution. It is powered
by the Rockchip 3288 SoC with 1.8GHz Cortex A17 quad core processor
coupled with 2GB RAM. On the storage front, the Nexian Air Chromebook
has a built in storage of 16GB but can be further expanded via SD card. The
device will run on Google’s Chrome OS and includes two USB 2.0 ports, an
HDMI port, a 1MP web camera and comes with Bluetooth 4.0. The laptop comes
packed in with 4,200mAh battery and offers a backup of 8 hours,
claims the company.
Smita Hashim, Global Product Manager, Chrome OS at Google said, “When
we introduced Chromebooks 4 years ago, we wanted to build a laptop for the way
people use computers today, always fast, easy to use and secure by default.
Since launching Chromebooks in India, we’ve been working to ensure that
Chromebooks work in an environment where connectivity can be spotty and many
people’s first experiences with technology are through a phone rather than a
laptop.”
