Did you know you can buy Google Chromebooks in India! Croma and Flipkart are selling Chromebooks online! I am not sure since when they became available for sale in India, but last time I checked, it was not available in Indian electronic stores or online shopping malls. An ad pointed me out to Chromebook sales in popular online stores in India and they are indeed selling online!

India Chromebook Models
Acer C720 Chromebook is a very portable Chromebook which is 0.75 inches thin and 1.25 kg weight. It has an 11.6” display and a long battery life of 9 hours. On the other hand if you prefer a bigger screen, you can buy HP Chromebook 14 – which is 0.81 inches thin and weighs 1.85 kg. Powered by a 14” display, it too has a long battery life of 9.5 hours.
So there is not much confusion about choice – the screen size is the big difference and that is what changes the price. So choose as per your requirement.
