These are the best Chromebook laptops for students to choose as of 2019.

The operating system of Google's Chrome is very good at the basics. It is great when you want to get stuff done like emailing, doing spreadsheets and documents. However, you can also perform entertainment tasks like listening to music, watching movies, and surfing the Internet. I am sure that most of us are already pretty immersed in the ecosystem of Google. We interact with Google devices all the time from apps like Gmaps, Gmail on our phones to the smart home devices of the company.

In my opinion, Chrome currently has two big advantages over its competitors. First, it is free. Second, its simplicity. On the other end of the spectrum, you will need the minimum amount of Rs 83,750  to touch the current-generation laptop from Apple with its MacOS operating system. And if you go with an entry-level laptop of HP or DELL for around Rs 10,478, you will be stuck with the mess of Windows and all of those updates, patches, and licenses.

Still, there are some things that a Chromebook cannot do, yet. It does not have yet those apps like Steam or Photoshop and a bunch of other Mac or Windows dependent apps. So if you are in the field of study that needs esoteric or technical applications - those non-web based apps - you might need to consider. On the other hand, you will be pretty well served by the big collection of Android apps, online services, and app that run on your Chromebook.

Whatever you are looking for, a convertible, an ultraportable, or just a traditional laptop for elementary school kid up to college student. In the market, there are many Chromebook options with the price range from the lowest at $200 to some good one at  $500. Summary, here is the list of some of the best laptops for students.

Lenovo Chromebook 500e

In the last few years, Lenovo has released a whole collection of Chromebooks designed intended for classroom usage. The cheapest one goes for just Rs 19,482. We have tested out the top-of-the-line model from Lenovo - the 500e Chromebook. We found out that it is really capable and durable for the price of Rs 22,971 - a good choice for a young student.

This laptop works as both a tablet and a laptop. It has a touchscreen, solid battery life and an okay keyboard. They also include a stylus and two webcams (front and back) with this device. The 2nd gens model (Rs 2,793 more) even feature a newer Intel Processor with 4GB of RAM.

Acer Chromebook 15

If the 500e is too small for you and you are on the look for a bigger display, the Acer Chromebook 15 will deliver it to you. It packs a 15.6-inch with IPS touchscreen into this beast. Still, it has a quite reasonable price tag, starting at just Rs 24, 437. Aside from the mega-size screen, this Chromebook also has amazing speakers, awesome battery life, enough CPU power to get the basics done, and a backlit keyboard. On that note, HP, Asus, and Lenovo also have 15-inch Chromebook in the same price range.

Lenovo Yoga Chromebook Laptop

Talking about bigger screen Chromebook, we have to mention Yoga Chromebook. It is an all-aluminum with the convertible 2-in-1 feature. There are 2 options available including a full-HD and an ultra-HD 15.6-inch touchscreen. This Chromebook starts with the price of Rs 33,512 with backlit keyboards and pretty high-tech specs: 8GB of RAM, 64GB of storage and an 8th gen Intel Core i5 processor.

HP Chromebook x2

The x2 Chromebook from HP is a great laptop with an amazing detachable display. It also comes with a keyboard comfortable to type on and great performance. However, it not as cheap as the others, its starting price is Rs 37,705. By the way, it also works as a standalone tablet - lightweight and thin, really responsive to stylus and touch input as well as orientation perception.

Plus point - it comes bundled with keyboard and stylus. This is very nice of HP when many other hybrids make you buy these referrals separately. If you can live without those apps on MacOS and Windows - trust me, Chromebook x2 is for you.

Asus Chromebook C434

Asus announced its Flip C434 dated back January with a starting price of Rs 39, 727.  It is a replacement for the Chromebook C302 which was a top-seller in the 2-in-1 category on Amazon. The new Chromebook - C434 features a brushed-aluminum design, 14-inch FHD display, more powerful Intel processor, and double the RAM and storage as the predecessor.

Google Pixelbook

Surely, Google has made its Chromebook. The Pixelbook is a beautiful convertible that works as a tablet ad a laptop. It has a bright, sharp touchscreen with lag-free, blazing fast performance with a variety of selections of higher-end Intel processors. But that is also why it is quite expensive at the starting price of Rs 69,758. That price doesn't include the stylus, which comes separately at Rs 6,913.
