While launching the new range, Smita Hashim, Global Product Manager,
Chrome OS said, “When we introduced Chromebooksfour 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 connectivitycan be spotty, and many
people’s first experiences with technology are through a phone rather
than a laptop.”
Chromebooks are available for Indian schools
On the education front, easy to use, easy to share, and easy to manage,
Chromebooks have proved a hit with teachers and studentsaround the world.
In fact, according to IDC’s latest report on tablets and laptops in K12 education, Chromebooks were the best-selling device in the U.S. last year. Now Chromebooks are available for
Indian schools and educational institutions nationally.
Superfast to boot up with built in security and virus protection, Chromebooks help
teachers and students get straight down to learning. They also come with Google Apps for Education which make it
easy to create, learn and collaborate. With the Chromebook Management
Console, administrators can set up and manage up to thousands of
