Chromebooks for the uninitiated, are like regular laptops but are powered by Google’s Chrome OS. Chrome OS gives easier access to Google services and even gives 100GB of free Google Drive storage for 2 years. 3rd party apps can be downloaded from the Chrome Web Store.

Flipkart is currently taking pre-order of the notebooks.
