Chromebooks work offline too!<\/b><\/h3>\n

Another interesting feature of the new Chromebook is that it works offline. Google has worked really hard to make most of its applications available offline. So even if you are not connected to the Internet you can still continue your work such as writing documents, read and reply to mails and many other such things. The new feature is a blessing for Indian users as the Internet connection here is not stable. Google has created a dedicated section within the Chrome Store which lists apps that work offline.<\/p>\n

Both Chromebooks will be available from select Reliance Digital and Croma stores in Delhi and Mumbai from October 17. They are also available for pre-order at Flipkart.<\/a><\/p>\n
