Google has announced the launch and availability of a variety of new low-cost devices running its ChromeOS platform, including traditional Chromebooks, a touch-enabled 2-in-1, and an ultra-compact HDMI stick that can be plugged into any display.
The Asus Chromebook Flip is described as a "premium metal" device and has a keyboard as well as a 10.1-inch touchscreen which can fold over backwards for better comfort when used as a tablet. It will be available in the US within two months for $249 (approximately Rs. 15,525). The Chromebook Flip is based on a Rockchip 3288 processor with four ARM Cortex A17 cores, and promises 10 hours of battery life. The screen resolution is 1280x800 and there is 16GB of storage space.
The Verge notes that while ChromeOS hasn't always been touch-centric, Android apps are expected to be portable across Google's two operating systems soon. Touch-enabled Chromebooks have been available before, but the OS now has Android's virtual keyboard making tablet and convertible form factors possible for the first time.
Google also had announcements regarding more traditional Chromebooks. Two new models, built by Haier and Hisense, also based on ARM Cortex-A17 processors, will bring the entry-level price down to $149 (approximately Rs. 9,300). Both feature 11.6-inch 1366x768-pixel screens, 16GB of storage and 2GB of RAM. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are built in, and both devices offer two USB 2.0 ports, HDMI output, and a microSD card slot. Battery life is rated at 10 hours for the Haier model and 8.5 hours for the Hisense model.
