The new Chromebook models hopefully have improved in this area. The laptop doesn’t look “cheap” but it does feel underpowered. I have been using the Chromebook for several months now and while it is a decent machine for browsing the web - sleek, lightweight, feels solid - the battery life and performance isn’t great especially when streaming web videos. HP’s 14” Chromebook is $300 in US but will be available here for $435. The Acer 720 retails at $240 on Amazon while the price in India is $370 or 50% more.
That said, you’ll have to pay a nice premium to get your hands on one of these Chromebooks in India. Google Chromebooks, except for the Pixel with touchscreen, are inexpensive and thus are the best-selling laptops on. The 11.6” Acer Chromebook is available on Flipkart for 23k while the 14” HP Chromebook can be had for 27k. These Intel Celeron based laptops will be available in Croma and Reliance stores starting next week or you can pre-order them now from the Flipkart website. Google is bringing the Chromebook to India.
