PC maker ASUS has confirmed a December 13 date for the unveiling event of its latest device in the ASUS Chromebook series in India. The new ASUS Chromebook features military-grade durability, although the actual model number is still under wraps. This comes after the release in July 2021 by ASUS, of four Chromebook models in India, namely the C214, C223, C423, and C523. The new ASUS Chromebook will be available via Flipkart in India after the December 13 launch event.
The official teaser from ASUS indicated an image that highlights some of the features of the new ASUS Chromebook device. We expect the new ASUS Chromebook to be kitted with a higher processor than its predecessors in the Chromebook series, at least better than the N3350 deployed in the earlier models in the series. ASUS is promising a longer battery life for the new Chromebook to go with its versatility and flexible body. The minimum flexibility requirements are 180 degrees movement along with its hinges which should be super-durable. The image teaser indicates this possibility.
The new ASUS Chromebook comes with a full complement of ports, including USB-C, USB-A, among others.
Although it is unclear how the new Chromebook compares with the C214, we know that the C214 has a 360-degree convertible touchscreen display, military-grade durability, and an autofocus camera. While the C214 was priced at Rs. 24,990 ($330) at its unveiling in July, we would expect the new ASUS Chromebook to also fall within the Rs. 22,000 and Rs.26,000 range, which is between $300 and $350.
